While studying abroad and living in Spain has hasn’t always been roses, as this short story demonstrates, I’ve loved it more than I can say. I’ve fallen head over heels for Madrid. We’ve had our ups and downs, I struggled to navigate Spanish doors with their multiple bolts and unfamiliarly shaped keys. I’ve gotten lost even using both Google and Apple Maps. I do sometimes miss half-and-half in my coffee. Yet this city has my heart, and not just because of its excellent public transportation and their Office of Lost Objects.
