Care paquete

Last week we tried for several days to buy tickets for a trip to Barcelona with our friend Barrett from South Carolina.  It was going to be awesome.  We were going to spend just a few days in the city pretending to speak Catalan, hanging out with the FC Barcelona team, and looking for Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz, and Scarlett Johansson from the movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona....

Our plans fell through unfortunately, even after SEVERAL ill-fated attempts at purchasing tickets... 

BUTTTTTTT... on Monday, the last day we tried to purchase tickets, we were greeted at home with an incredible surprise from the states to cheer us up!!

my parents sent us an awesome care package!!!
Even after living here for just a little over a month, you notice things or items that America has and Spain doesn't... and vice versa.
We got a package that consisted of:

Twizzlers, Sour Patch kids, Swedish Fish, Marshmallows, Reese's, Kit-Kat's, Cranberry sauce, magazines, Nestle chocolate chips, Jiffy Cornbread mix, spices, vanilla extract, muffin cups, Instant Betty Crocker muffin mix, AND CANDY CORN!!

It was like Christmas/Halloween/Thanksgiving in one big fat heavy flat-rate box!!

If anyone else feels the need to send us anything, please feel free!!!

Thanks mom and dad!!!!!
