Long time, no see

I haven't seen or talked to my intercambios (spanish language partners/friends) in a long time, so this email that Carlos, my under-the-table intercambio from the English school, made my day.

First in Spanish, then I translate...

Hola Melissa!
Primero de todo, siento haber tardado tanto tiempo en escribirte y
quedar contigo!! He estado muy ocupado con el trabajo y la universidad,
apenas he tenido tiempo de nada.
Si te apeteciera alguna tarde quedar para practicar un poco de
inglés-español, me lo dices. O bien si prefieres que te acompañe y te
enseño algun pueblo o ciudad cerca de Alicante que no hayas visto, como
Elche por ejemplo. Lo que te apetezca y cuando tengas tiempo, sin
compromiso.
Un beso y lo siento de nuevo!


Hey Melissa!
First of all, I am sorry for letting so much time pass before writing you and hanging out! I have been very busy with work and school, and I haven't had time for anything.
If you'd like to hang out some day to practice a bit of english-spanish, let me know. Or, if you'd like, I can go with you to one of the neighborhoods or towns around Alicante that you haven't seen yet and show you around, like Elche (a town nearby Alicante) for example. Whatever you want and whenever you have time, no questions asked.
Kisses and again, I am so sorry!


Isn't that so sweet! At first I was not looking forward to these "dead days" of my 18 day (!) spring break when my parents left and I returned to Alicante without a USACer in sight, but I think I'll use the time to hang out with my intercambios that I haven't seen in forever!
