Here I am: Estoy aqui

It's hard to believe how close I am but how far away I feel.

It's funny how different the US is, even from the air...you can tell you aren't in Europe anymore. Baseball diamonds and rows of houses might be what give it away, or the ever-changing squares of farmland/developments/contained wilderness.

Minutes after getting off the plane, I walked through the gates of the Philadelphia airport where Dad and Jess were waiting. I was good until then...Maybe I thought I was wrong about the fields, and I was back jetsetting through foreign countries.

They brought me back home to reality, at which point I broke down.

So here I am, in the US of A.

With tons of memories, and even more dreams.

This might take some getting used to.

But it has been more than worth it.

Tengo que dejarte, Barcelona: I have to leave you, Barcelona

Goodbye apartment :-(

OpenCor...always open...except at 4:30 am.

Casa del Team Aldana...3rd story (Principal 2)

This pretty much sums it up...

Me and Bob. We started together, we end together.

Lucky him, he's got a few more weeks of traveling and a brief stop back here before he heads home. I'm on my way...back through Frankfurt, back to the US. Here goes nothin'

Thank you Barca and everyone who made it possible: my friends, my classmates (also my friends haha), my teachers, and most importantly my family.
