Letters from Abroad: Adam Goldberg in Andalucia

Mark,

just finished my last exam in spain, of college. my brother and i are celebrating by leaving to morocco at 5 tomarrow morning. spain is great, it seems to me still a very young. after living under franco so long their growth seems a bit stunted. kids still live with their parents, until they marry. something like 75% of 26 year olds in andalucia still live at home. while they have been given freedoms from the government they still lack privacy and freedom from the home. the moms want to know everything. all in all of course it has been a great experience. i could live here again, but not with a family. i like cooking for myself and feeling like i have my own home, not that i am a guest. my spanish has suprised me and i feel very comfortable with it, so that part i feel has been a success. i wish you a happy holidays and will get in touch when i get back to santa barbara at the end of january.

Adam
