Dear Dad

I want you to know that my expensive education is paying off. Guess what I've finally learned how to do? Cut my own meat with a knife. I've been given no choice. We have meat with every meal and I'm always given a knife and expected to not only cut my meat but all of my food. It was nice that I had a course to practice on first, something easier than meat, before the meat actually arrived on my plate the first day. But alas, I'm cutting my own meat now. It's nice to not have to ask for help but at the same time it's a bit sad, I'm finally growing up :(

Here are some pictures finally! There's plenty more to come, I just want to start you off with a few of my favorites.


Playing in the snow outside the Madrid airport

The whole group on top of the Alcazar castle. Sleeping Beauty's castle was designed after this one.

We love jumping pictures. This one's a favorite of mine and is also on top of the Alcazar.

My new love.

Our fearless leader, Gladys the lion.
