El Templo de Debod at sunset
I have met people that came to Madrid, and loved it so much they never left. They say that Madrid has that effect. You fall in love with the city and never go home. Well, I loved Madrid. I certainly intend to visit again. But I could never stay here forever. I love where I come from too too much. I have had such a wonderful experience, I have learned so much and met amazing people. There are two things in particular that I see have changed in me since I arrived. The first is that I now know wheresoever in the world I go, I will always be able to find wonderful friends and have plenty of adventures. The other is a new feeling of pride in where I come from. I don't know that before I came being American really meant that much to me. If everyone around is American you forget what it means and why it is so special. I love telling people in Spain that "Soy Americana". I live in the best country on earth and I am so excited to come home!
