Ding-Dong "Welcome to Spain"

Standing in a dark hallway across the Atlantic. Not exactly what I'd planned.

Desperately, I hit the light switch, waiting for a response from the bulb overhead. Once, twice...ten times, still nothing. My shaking hands hold foreign keys searching for the seemingly non-existent lock. With little hope I press the light switch one more time, at that moment a smiling face emerges from a wonderful light behind the door. "Jennifer, that switch is the doorbell," my new host-mom says with a chuckle.

Like it or not, I've announced myself to Spain...or at least to the slightly irritated barrio (neighborhood)  :p

I'm having a great time in my first week! Thank you for the nice comments! The picture is from the window of my new family room. It's cloudy but if you look close the Rock of Gibraltar is in the background. Nine miles beyond is the coast of Morocco :)
