More Braver Than Me (Or Something Like That)

"So where are you going for Semana Santa?" Juan Javier asked.
"Well, first my mom flies into Sevilla, and we'll spend a few days there. After that, we're going to Rome, Paris, and London...and then back here to Antilla!"
"All during Semana Santa?" he asked.
"Yes, yes! Well, it will be during Semana Santa and a few days after since I don't have to work on Mondays or Tuesdays."
"But still...!" he exlaimed. His eyes were huge in wonder. "You are more....valiant? Yes, valiant?"
"Valiant?" I asked. That couldn't be the right adjective he was looking for.
"Crazy?" I said while laughing. To a Spaniard, our travel plans might seem a bit overwhelming -- lots of traveling, lots of places....very American-esque. :)
"Valiant, yes!" He shouted!" Leaning in he said "You Americans are like that. You are more braver than me!"

Call it brave, call it crazy -- but it's what Mom and I are doing for Semana Santa, and I am so unbelievably excited! Mom arrives THIS Friday around 1pm, and Oti has graciously allowed me to take the day off so that I can meet Mom at the airport. :) As mentioned, we will be traveling all around to lots of places and seeing so many things -- I am so incredibly excited about this opportunity to see more of the world, but more than anything, I am thrilled to be spending time with my amazing mother. :) Please pray safe travel, fun memories, and lots of joy for us -- and I certainly am praying all of the same for you!

Can't wait to blog all about it in a few weeks! Until then....in the words of Juan Javier, be more braver! :)

Un besito,
Brittany
