Spanish Wedding Crashers

Image
  Spain is considered to be one of the top travel destinations in the world, and for us, it was a must see. Not because of the tapas, rich history or beautiful beaches, but because my friend was getting married. When I was in high school, my family hosted Rodrigo for one year while he went to school, learned English and played soccer. Even though it has been 15 years since we’ve lived together, we remain “brothers”. So when he and Arantza invited us to their wedding, we immediately accepted. Rodrigo’s father is the mayor of their small town named Pozaldez, which in the summer months is home to nearly 500 people. In the winter, that number drops to approximately 300 residents. Think Mayberry, but with a lot more dancing. And when the mayor’s youngest son is getting married, you know it’s going to be a party. The ceremony took place at Rodrigo and Arantza’s newly constructed home, which is gorgeous. Over 100 of their closest friends and family attended to celebrate their union, as Rodrig

Ups and Downs of our Time in Spain

Image
  Hola!  Our overview of our time in Spain is long overdue.  As those of you who have been following our travels know, Spain was our first stop on our honeymoon.  We spent about 2.5 weeks traveling around,  from August 15th to September 2nd, exploring some of the more popular stops (such as Madrid, Toledo, and Barcelona) as well as a very small rural town (Pozaldez).  We found Spain to be full of art and culture; nature and city-scape; ups and downs.  We also found it to be full of HEAT!  We don’t want to drag you through the full details of our day to day, but hope to share a few of our personal reflections.  Here goes! Highlights/ Blessings: Strolling the Botanical Gardens in Madrid – This was our first experience connecting with nature in Spain.  We enjoyed the quiet time strolling the gardens holding hands.  The trees and greenery were refreshing and the various flowers, with all of their bright bursts of personality, reminded me of my grandma’s yard on a hot summer’s day.

Here’s To One Heck Of An Introduction

  The word around the volunteer compound was that we’d been invited to a wedding introduction. A wedding introduction? “What’s that?” I’d asked. Moses approached us after dinner on Friday night and explained that a wedding introduction is a big event in which the families of the bride-and-groom-to-be meet for the first time. He explained further that one of his neighbors had a son whose wedding introduction was the following morning, and because the location of the introduction was in a remote village near the border of Uganda and Kenya, an approximate 2-3 hour drive away, this man, not having an adequate vehicle for the journey, had asked Moses for transport. Moses, who’s keen on sharing Ugandan culture with others, had informed the neighbor that he had volunteers visiting, and managed to get the invitation extended to us. As a group, we decided that this was possibly a once in a lifetime opportunity and one we did not want to let pass us by. We were only asked to contribute the equiv
