Dear Salamanca,
I miss you! I cannot
believe it’s been almost three weeks since I left. I had such a good time with you and it’s
weird to think it’s all over. How have
you been? Oh….fantastic? That makes sense, because you’re in Spain.
Since I’ve been home I have worked full-time, seen many good
friends, and forgotten too much of the Spanish I learned from you. It’s been pretty much an anti-climactic
return from the most exciting month of my life. But really, what could possibly top you?
I have only one month left of summer and normally I’d be
worrying so much about seeing my friends and soaking up the free time before
going back to school. This year, I feel
none of that stress, because I’ve already had my most fulfilling summer in
recent history. You allowed me to meet
new people and try things I would have sworn off only a couple months ago. Even more, you gave me confidence in my
independence and made me more excited about traveling the world! It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, but
I’ve been too afraid to try. Somehow I
landed in your beautiful streets, and I am so glad that I did.
Te amo, Salamanca. Ojalá
que, algún día, regrese a visitarte otra vez.
Tu amiga,
Claire
