Buenos Dias everyone! Sorry it's been a few days since my last post. I am very excited to embark on my week-long journey to Spain! It proved to be sort of tough to find a cultural aspect that I could incorporate into my daily life but after an extra day, I finally found something. Thanks again to CultureGrams, I learned that Spaniards like to dress up when they go out in public. Though this is something small, it is a part of their culture that I can accurately do in my own life this week. Though I can't wear traditional Spanish formal clothing, I can stick to the basic concept of dressing up. Whenever I go out, whether that be to the store, to school or to an activity, I will be wearing "nice clothes" which includes high heels, boots, skirts, dresses, dress pants and that does not include jeans, sneakers, t-shirts or tops that aren't blouses of some sort. I am usually not one who likes to dress up (I'm about as "Plain Jane" as it gets) so this week will prove to be something pretty different for me. Not only that, but the fact that I am all of a sudden wearing dress pants, skirts and dresses to school and everywhere else gives me an opportunity to share with everyone who asks why I look so different what I am doing. I will show pictures of my daily outfits in later posts this week and will keep you updated. Have an awesome day and if you're anywhere in the U.S that is getting hammered with snow, stay safe!
