VPF our family will also be landing this time next week. We are so excited. My children are 15 & 13 and are happy to see they will be welcome most anywhere. ot haveing been to Spain yet I think the things I will want most in the USA would be:
1. Reasonable transportation - metro etc..
2. Tapas
3. Sincere kindness like I have found on this board.

1.La Marcha 2.El futbol espanol 3.Las noticias del guinol.

Here's your chance to name 3 things you encounter in Spain that you would like to see back home.

1.) Ines Sastre

2.) The Spanish sense of style as it relates to what males wear...Anglo-Canadian men need to realize you don't go "out on the town" (kinda like tapas, but not really) in the same clothes that one would wear changing the oil in a car...

3.)SEAT cars

3. and another person here who understands my love/obsession for Spain!

I do...

I have a band-aid solution for you if you are suffering from a bad case of Madrid-withdraw and can't immdediately to get to Madrid...take a short trip to Montreal, Quebec in the Summer and chill out for a while, that should put a little control on any "Madrid-withdraw" until you have the chance to get to Madrid...while Montreal is not Madrid, it has some Madrid charateristics...

1) Siesta. I love how it creates a more relaxed feel to the culture as compared to America.
2) Pan. I could live on the .50-.75 euro loaves I would get. A baguette here is several dollars.
3) Transportation. The buses are easy to use, the cities are very walkable as compared to most American cities.

1. The old spirit and soul of the land
2. The passion in the soul for flamenco
3. And all the food that is created with olive oil

And of course, I wish I could introduce all my friends from spain to my family and friends in the US

I love all of Spain, but I've mostly been in Madrid, so here are 3 things I love
1. The way it is still light at 10:30, or later, in the summer
2. Looking at the lighted Puerta de Alcalá at night from C/ Alcala & Sevilla
3. Really good jamón serrano

Why bring stuff here to this grey monotony of an existance?? The solution is, that I bring myself "there" once and for all. Why deprive myself? "Here" my life is on pause. "There" I live.

3. the sunshine (which we do not get enough of in upstate NY)
