oh, you know, just grocery shopping... in MADRID

(outside the nearby grocery store; proud display of my 1st groceries)

So after putting off grocery shopping for a week now, I finally dragged my butt 400 ft to the grocery store. Since my homestay provides breakfast & dinner, I figured I only need a few simple things to make sandwiches for the week. As I was in the grocery store, a person's words about studying abroad came back to me 

"It's the simple things like grocery shopping or walking home when it'll it hit you that you're actually on your own, living in another country like a normal person of that country & you'll think 'wow, I really am here...'"

After re-hearing those words in my head & spending only 9,32 I gleefully walked back to mi casa because I definitely had that wow moment today & have only Him to thank for it :) Off to rest before going to my first mass in Spain at the nearby cathedral later. Be blessed.
