It's the little things, sometimes...

Every once in a while, it's the little things that happen that make you really happy. And this past week, there were lots of little things that made me happy.

1) I found a Sevilla radio station that plays a mix of 80's, 90's and early 2000's American pop/rock/hip-hop. Awesome.

2) I actually found the Spanish WalMart. It's a big store that has everything, like El Corte Ingles, but it is cheap, and it advertises "always cutting back prices", like WalMart! It's called Carrefour, and there are 2 or 3 on the outskirts of Sevilla if you ever randomly take a bus out there. Anyways, inside, it looks just like a Super WalMart; electronics here, car parts there, clothes here, home decor over there, groceries over here. It made my day finding a place like that.

3) I had a full 30 minute conversation with a group of Spaniards about Europe vs. the States. I understood them completely, and they complimented me on my Spanish, as well. It was sweet.

4) The store called 'VIPS' sells Dr. Pepper. And even though it costs 1,50 euros, it is worth it to have that sweet sweet taste of 23 magical flavors hitting my tongue.

5) Anytime the Spanish national team plays a soccer match on TV, the local bars turn into "I love my country of Spain" fest. And that's really cool.

There are more, but these are enough for now. Enjoy this wonderful Sunday! Adios.

Until next time...
Peace, love and God bless,
