When I first arrived in Spain nearly two months ago, my sis, Coral, was at my side reminding me regularly that I was now officially a "village person." With my one-way ticket to Spain, I wasn’t coming here to vacation. I was coming here to stay, and the 22 boxes (still) en route from New York City are 22 (too many) additional examples of tangible proof of it.

However, while it was super easy to hop on a plane and physically move to Spain, adjusting to a new language, new culture and new territory has been slightly more difficult. I regularly experience moments of despair with the Spanish language, I don’t quite know if it’s culturally polite or rude to accept so many vegetables and fruits from (my husband) David’s aunt and uncle when we visit their stand on market Fridays.
