Addy's Spanish Adventure

Well, she's settle in with her host family in Alcala. It was a bit of a nightmare getting her there. First was getting the student visa. We were told it could take up to eight weeks when the paperwork was turned in at the beginning of December so we were on pins and needles until they said it arrived December 21st. She had to fly to Houston on Wednesday, January 2nd to pick it up in person at the Spanish Consulate. She flew out Sunday the 6th and got to Madrid on Monday morning. After some confusion about getting from Madrid to Alcala, she made it to the host family. What a relief. The family doesn't have internet access at their house, so she'll only be able to get on at a cafe or the university. I'm going to see what other options might be available. I've set up a blog for her at http://addy.cakefamily.com and will be updating it for her until she has regular access.
