esperanza,
I was just thinking of you and your daughter as I read some of your recent posts, and I was wondering how she was doing at SLU and in my old Madrid stomping grounds.

I am delighted to hear that things are going so well for her, and I love that she has a great view of those mountains!

I went back to SLU this summer while I was in Madrid to visit with a favorite profesora with whom I've kept in touch over many years, and it was strange to walk around campus. It seems that it hasn't changed too much and I have many fond memories from my semester there.

Thanks so much for the post and please keep us updated on her experiences.
