One more week!

Hola, familia y amigos! (Hello family and friends)
This blog is a great way for you all to follow my travels and adventures en Espana! (the lack of tilda is already bothering me...going to need to figure out how to do Spanish accents etc)

So I leave for Salamanca, Spain a week from Tuesday...Que bueno! (how wonderful) I am SO excited, but also feeling a bit nervous about it. After all, I have never been so far away from home before, much less all on my own! I have stupid worries, like about getting lost in the airport or not getting along with the people on my trip. But mostly I am just very excited and ready to go!

I hope everyone is doing well. Send this along to anyone who I've missed who wants to know what I'm up to!

Besitos (a common Spanish salutation- "little kisses"),

  1. This is exciting, Caitrin! Best of luck!

    Try this link for international characters:

    There's also a nifty tool on most computers called "Characte Map" that you can find under "Programs/Administrative Tool" or something close to that.

  2. This blog is a great idea -- especially for me, the mama back home! It'll be fun to read all about your adventures away from home. One week from today!!!

  3. Miguel- Your idea about the character chart worked really well in Word documents, etc...but unfortunately I cannot copy and paste into this blog for some reason. Anyone tech savvy have an idea of how I could still get accents here?
