Mis padres

For the first time, and hopefully not the last, I had some visitors here in Spain. My parents came, hit up the island for a few days, then headed over to the mainland to see me. When I first saw them, it honestly felt like just a normal day back home. Of course it was great to see them, but with Skype and Facebook it really didn't seem like anything different after not seeing them for a while.  During their time here we didn't do anything crazy or wild, but we spent time together, had fun, and relaxed. What more can you ask for?

One thing that we did a lot of was that we ate out for almost every meal. This was no problem, because for the most part we had some great food and I love to eat out. Other than that, we did some of the typical tourist things, such as seeing the Cathedral, Plaza de España, and a few others. This was actually nice for me, because I hadn't done much of this yet even though I had already been here over 2 months.

I know as far as my papá, he absolutely loved the coffee over here. I would have to agree with him, it really is significantly better than that of the U.S. With that said, I would have to say that one of the highlights of their trip was probably coming to my place. They love my apartment and location, it's hard not too. I'm pretty lucky to live where I do. They also got to meet Emilio, and try some of his amazing food. We had this great lunch, followed up buy a bunch of sweets and pastries. Just chill.

So overall, my parents trip to Spain was a success. For me to be able to share my experiences over here in person with them was a lot of fun for me, and I think it was great for them to finally see what I'm talking about and not just read it. Skype is great, but the real thing is always better.  I can honestly say I spent more time with my parents this week while they were here, than I would during a typical week when I am back home. There's nothing wrong with that, but that just made the time spent together over here even cooler. So for anybody reading this, come visit me in Spain :) P.S.-David and Sheila = awesome parents!
