Wow, I can not believe that it has been two weeks since my return from Spain.  I truly miss it every single day.  I miss the food, the people, the culture, the nightlife and so much more.  It was a struggle to readjust to my simple life in Wilmington, Delaware.  First off, Jet lag hit…

It’s official, I have returned to my hometown after 60 amazing days in Madrid.  Although I am happy to be back in the states, I am definitely missing the great city of Madrid and all that it has to offer.  My time abroad has taught me a lot about both myself and the world.  For…
