man, this got long. i guess this really was a great trip. it gets better every time i think about it. as far as i know, jenny is the only other trip member with a blog so i guess this is mostly so those who weren't on the trip know how it went.

I'm betting you could totally survive a week in Madrid. You could just go around shouting Mi Corazon.
fantastical!
trip sounds sweet, glad I actually talked to you about it before reading this so I knew the background behind SOME of the points. Great points though:) Goot to hear ya'll had a vonderful blessed trip!
Wait, Gab learned to polka?!? Sweet! Btw, how's your spanish coming?
haha....we are the best cooks ever! and my lips are sealed about the drink. :)
my favorite moment was still "It's a mirage you idiot!" Good times.
luke~they'd probably lock me up, but at least they'd feed me so i guess that'd work.
justin~i'm sure you could make a similar list about your trip.
morgan~i'm saddened that i'm not down in your city right now. i'm not really sure how much gab really learned. the guy was a state champion and went fast.
jenny~i can't believe i didn't have a bullet point for that! it was the best one-liner of the trip.
none yet, but i'll keep you posted.
waiting for taht engagement!! ;)
beeg~yes, it was a blast. what did YOU do for spring break?
megs~i hope you're not talking about me because that's just not funny. if anything, you'll be the last to know. j/k. i'll call you to let you know right after the elder tells me she said yes and right before i call her. ok, that won't happen either.
Your description of Mexico is down to a T. Wow! I bet you dont even know who this is!! ; )
i bet i do! because i told you to comment last night! thanks for the comment!
wasn't really talking about YOU scottie, but if it WOULD be, that'd be okay, i guess. kup is right, just give it a couple weeks... that's where a lot of relationships start.... then the elder's phone starts ringing.....
