Upon arriving in Seville for the second time I instantly felt like was at home. Although the troubles with transportation and my lost luggage quickly overshadowed my feelings of warm fuzzies about my trip back to Spain.
Loosing your luggage is fine. At some point it is going to happen. On Day 1 you are content. Day 2 you are optimistic. Hey who does not love shopping! Day 3 you are a little annoyed and the annoyance only increases from there. By Day nine I was depressed.
This quickly overshadowed my joyful feelings about learning the language of Spanish. I only craved American comforts such as Mcdondalds, Starbucks and Friday´s. It is so suprising how much little things such as familar food can comfort you. Going into an American resturant in a foreign country can do wonders for your soul! You forget about the outside world and breathe in the sights and sounds of Big Macs and fries!!! You can even block out the languages that the menu is currently written in. Who cares if it says hamburgesa instead of hamburger! These temperoray comforts helped to ease the pain of not having Luggage and overall helped me Idenitfy why American adbroad someimes flock to American resturants ts not just for the food but the sights and sounds.
