Hi mom,

I am in Spain and you are still in Italy and I would love hear from you when you return so just so you know.

I am downloading my pictures from my camera onto my USB thing which works great as only one of those cards you gave me works for my camera so I can have 30 pics. I have tried to send these to you but am having difficulties.

Umm yeah money wise I have been changing money at a bank down the street from the school and not too much. A lot of kids are going through money FAST but I haven ´t but a problem may arise later in the semester as the trip to Morroco is going to cost around 400 dollars (about 349 euros) and even though that is extremely expensive it includes meals, hotels, transportation, camel rides, and the experience. I had to put a downpayment of 100 euros down already so the rest is coming later.

I met a guy named Brian who is the only other person staying the whole year and he is really neat. He has the same kind of travel ideas as me (not partying all the time but seeing the city and sites too) he and I are going to sit down and plan out trips to places in Spain this semester and then places like Germany ( he has been there before and has a friend there) Italy, Ireland, london, etc. I hear that if you book it now tickets are only about 11 euros including taxes.
My comp is kicking me off so I will write later.

Love

Lauren
