and then it was june 17th, 2008

Today is a special day. On June 17th, 2005 - three years ago today - a young college student began writing a blog. She named it La Vache Espagnole because she felt it spoke of her love of languages and her background.

Today, after a long journey that included study abroad experiences; returning home; senior year; returning home and teaching in China, she has found herself in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia preparing herself for yet another return home.

I have been writing in this blog for three years now and I have never been prouder. The blog has changed a lot since that first post in which I wrote of my impatience to get to Spain and I can't wait to see what life has in store for LVE!

As I mentioned I am in KL. Today is the first day of my month of travel before my flight home to Houston. Stay tuned for adventures in Malaysia, Shanghai and Japan - and whatever else strikes my fancy.
