Letters from Abroad: Elizabeth Martinez in Madrid

Professor Juergensmeyer,

hello, my name is Elizabeth Martinez and I am a Global Studies major currently abroad for the Fall quarter. I am studying in Madrid, Spain and it is amazing how the election situation in the U.S has been front page news here in Spain for the past couple of weeks. I have talked to many Spanish people, students, my host family and professors, and it is very interesting to learn their point of view on all this. They pretty much all think our election system is ridiculous and as has been mentioned, the Spanish beleive it that our election system should be changed.

I will have much to share when I return! I also would like to sit down and talk to you because I will be graduating this year. I look forward to my return but am having the time of my life abroad! (except for all the terrorism, the Spanish way of life is extraordinary!)

Sincerely,
Elizabeth Martinez
