Amandine

My dear friend Amanda has recently flown to Spain to teach for the next year (or so).  She arrived safely, thank God, and is now adjusting to life in Spain.

Amanda and I have been good friends for the past 5+ years now.  We took a chance on each other and lived together our first year of college-which turned out WAY better than I think either of us imagined.  Amanda is hilarious, intelligent, beautiful, thoughtful, creative, and kind.  I am going to miss her so much while she's away.  Luckily, we now have things like Wi-Fi, iPhones, Skype, Facebook, and E-mail so we can at least keep in touch from different parts of the World.

Dear Amanda,

I hope your trip is everything you hope for and more.

I hope you learn a lot about the culture, the language, and yourself while you are away.

Cherish every moment and take many pictures.

Use your talents for a good cause and make an impact in Spain.

I miss you and am looking forward to talking soon.

Love you,

Anne
