My 5th day in Spain (my legs are SO sore!)

Sunday at 7:19pm
¡Hola y saludus a todos! I'm on my iPhone so this will be kinda clipped. Internet still not connected to my mac, grrr. Anyone know any secrets about 128-bit WLAN wireless routers? Anyway.
My group went to Segovia yesterday and I have a TON of pics to post soon! It was an incredible experience. Highlight was climbing up a seemingly endless spiral staircase to the tallest tower of the Alcázar, a medieval fortress/castle/palace. On the roof we could see for miles! Pretty breathtaking in every way.

And this is me at the top of the Alcázar!

Today I went to an international church that I found via Internet. I am so refreshed and encouraged! The people are super kind and friendly and serious about seeking the Lord. I am on a mission here, ya know. I can't wait to get plugged in.
I am feeling really grateful to everyone who's supported me. Time for some shoutouts for random stuff that is so comforting to me. Pardon my materialism for a moment.
Thanks, Ali, for the earrings, the Indian bangles, and the chapstick with spf! I am wearing them all! The climate here is so dry and sunny I really use the chapstick a tonnn!
Mom: the silk scarf and the jewelry you gave me for Christmas are the bomb. And everyone loves the elephant purse from Thailand. Thanks for the majority of my wardrobe actually.
Dad: the prescriptions. You saved me!
Claire: I use your travel guide all the time. I've read it thru twice, too! Thx!
Chase: the yellow leather gloves come in so HANDY! srsly I've worn them every day. (from last Christmas)
Rachel C: I'm using the journal we got at your house!
Stacia: the red scarf is da bomb
Yani: la biblia bilingüe!!! Es perfecta.
Erin Johnson needs to get a fb. Anyhow, she has been really helpful.
And Dad, the iPhone was the best splurge ever. It's my only means of communication at he moment.
Christina Techentin is la mejor. She is so good to me!
I love everyone, by the way. Yes, if you're reading this, I love you. Family and Union peeps: gosh I miss you. And TSC too.

edit. I'm at school and finally can get on my comp.
Wow, how mushy. Write it off as the euphoria stage of culture shock?
