After returning from Barcelona I realized that my trip is about to come to an end. Last night was my last dinner with my senora (she plays poker with her friends tonight and Wednesday is the group dinner). This realization shocked me because it feels like simply yesterday that I was meeting Nena for the first time.
My trip to Spain has been incredible. It has allowed me to revisit childhood memories and create new ones as well. I also think that the program has improved my Spanish immensely and I feel so much more confident about my speaking skills, which will be great because when I go home and speak to my grandparents in Spanish I will no longer feel like my vocabulary is that of a 5 year old.
The odd thing is for some reason I feel like once I go away that time in Spain should stand still. However there is no such thing and I am glad that I was able to be a part of the day to day life of this country another time.
