Maggie's Hopes and Expectations for Spain

With everything packed and ready to go, my excitement is beginning to grow. I still can't believe that we are leaving tomorrow! I am looking forward to finally getting to visit Spain, and I can't wait to experience the country's culture and history and meet new people. I'm excited to try new foods and visit the museums, churches, and other sites. I also can't wait to meet my host family.

All in all, I'm just ready for a fun trip!
