Spain, Spain, Spain... What More Can I Say? It's Wonderful!

So not only am I absolutely loving Spain, have found a ton of amazing friends (Spanish and American), and an amazing guy who treats me like a princess, but I am learning so much so quickly and I have been on so many amazing trips already. Yesterday our program took a trip to Jumilla to see las bodegas (the wineries) and it was AMAZING! We got to taste a bunch of wine, they were (mostly) all really good. I bought a few bottles, of course! But I'm probably going to bring them home to my family... we all know my mom's a wino. just kidding!! It was really cool because we got to see a bunch of grapes that they had collected and watch them go through some of the machines they use to make wine. Really cool! After that, we went down into the cellars where they just have barrels and barrels of wine. It was awesome. We had a guided tour where this lady was telling us (in Spanish of course), the processes they use to make the wine, how they select which ones are going to be reserve vs not, etc. and it was all really interesting! We also got to have some excellent Spanish cheese, which I was a little too excited about.

Another thing I am very excited about... my little, ahem, younger brother has just graduated from C school on Friday. I am so excited for him and wish I could have been there to see it and wish him a Happy Birthday. :( oh well.... next time. I promise I'll post pictures soon!
