my keychain is from spain

for spring break of my senior year,

i traveled to spain with the spanish club.

it was april 1988.

i was 17.

{photos above & below were taken at the alhambra}

{photo below looks like a postcard, 

but i really did take it at el acueducto de segovia}

flamenco dancers

the photos below are some of my all-time favorites

i took loads of pictures.

i soaked up the culture.

i ate queso manchego.

i dreamt in spanish.

i discovered the spanish phrase 

i have used more than any other,

"¿cómo se dice _______ en español?"

{"how do you say _______ in spanish?"}

and i bought the keychain of my life.

it is the one i carry with me every. single. day.

the only one i have ever used.

thank you, mom & dad,

for the once-in-a-lifetime

senior trip to spain.

thank you, also, for the keychain.
