Two Tuesdays ago my mom came to visit! Luckily she didn't get sucked down into the hurricane that was busy destroying the east coast... :p
Anyways, I left Monday night from Salamanca on the last train and got into Madrid at 10:40, took a cab to the Hilton Madrid Airport Hotel (very nice hotel by the way) and woke up at 7 to get to the airport by 7:40 or 8 to pick her up. Unfortunately even though her flight left on time it was still delayed by about 30 minutes or so. After some tears on my end we headed off to the train statino, bought our tickets, and were on our way to Salamanca. Unfortunately my body decided that since mom came to visit it didn't have to keep working on keeping me healthy so! I got a sinus infection that also turned into pink eye. gross. We took it pretty easy overall but I'm pretty sure I saw more of Salamanca in those few days that she was here than I'd seen in the months that I've been here haha. Then on Friday...mom took me to the doctor :p yes she flew 4000 miles to see me and ended up taking me to the doctor...things apparently haven't changed much =] Sorry mom!
Well! Here are some pictures I took when she came to visit:

| Thought this was a pretty picture along with the quote: "The best type of love is that the wakes the soul and makes us breathe more, it lights up our heart and brings peace to the mind. This is what you have given me and what I hope to give you forever." |
