la Vagabunda, as you might have already figured out, translates to "the vagabond" in Spanish. I prefer "the wanderer" by interpretation.

You and me Spain, let's do it!

It's my party dance if I want to...

Last night was my going away party. I must say, I did not shed one tear, I am quite proud of myself. Family came in from out of town, so did a few friends, we had Spanish tapas and sangria, played bingo, had an pinata (totally a Mexican thing, but who doesn't love a good pinata?). You really can't go wrong with that combination. 

We had flamenco music playing through the house last night, so I have another goal to add for my time in Spain. Buy castanets for my "History of Flamenco" class and learn how to dance flamenco. I mean, it originated in Sevilla for heaven's sakes. I'm gonna do it. 

It was a really fun party. I got some practical things which will be very useful in Spain. Emily brought me a few things from Raleigh. I do love surprises :) 

Thanks to everyone who came out, it really meant a lot. All you in Boone, Raleigh and Ohio, see you at Christmas!

Besos para todos!
