¡La aventura empieza!

¡Hola a todos!

As you all know, I'll be leaving for Salamanca, Spain, in just a few short weeks! I just got my housing assignment, and I'll be living with a woman named Esperanza Calvo Curto. I'll have another American student from Amherst as a roommate there. My new home is a ten-minute walk from downtown Salamanca. Esperanza lives by herself and doesn't have any children, so she likes to have exchange students for the company. :) I don't know a lot about her except that she loves to draw and read. I'm looking forward to meeting her and getting to know her soon!

Right now, I'm busy prepping to leave. My flight leaves on the evening of August 29 from Philadelphia, and I'll arrive in Madrid around 8:00 in the morning, Spain time.

While I'm there, I'm sure I'll feel a little homesick from time to time, so I would LOVE to hear from you all! Here's my mailing address:

Rachel Rutter
Pº del Rollo, 32, 7º 4B
Salamanca 37003
Spain

Stay tuned here for updates about mi vida en Salamanca!

Con mucho cariño,
Rachel
