Oh, The Places They Go!
I just sent my youngest kiddo off to Barcelona for 3 months. Ruby will spend the fall semester of her junior year studying in Spain. I know from experience - I spent my junior year abroad in Aix-en-Provence, France - that this will be a formative and unforgettable time in her life. Living in a foreign city with a new roommate and attending classes at a new university is a lot. Add to that weekend travel throughout Europe and navigating your personal security and whereabouts in new lands, and you grow up fast. Oh, but the fun she will have in charming Spain sipping Sangria, enjoying tapas and clubbing into the wee hours of the night. Olé Ruby!
