Fall into place

After a long time of pondering if I'd go home or stay in the new country I call home for the summer and a good amount of worrying and debating both options, everything just sort of fell into place. During Semana Santa I found out I got a job teaching at a summer camp outside of Madrid and it was then that I realized that was what I wanted all along. I will be living and working in the monastery of Uclés teaching English to a group of Spanish niños. (And of course spending a lot of time at the pool...).

El tiempo pasa volando.

Time really has been flying by since I moved to Punta Umbría. Sometimes I don't know how or where it goes, but between work, studying, extra private classes, beach time, and weekend outings, it goes fast. It's Sunday morning and for once, I am not suffering from 'Sunday Angst' thanks to the fact that in Spain, the whole week before Easter is a vacation. Thank you Semana Santa. A couple friends from Sevilla are coming down to spend the week with me at the beach and I'm stoked! Biking, beaching, and going out are all in works and I'm thinking about buying a blow-up pool for the roof terrace... could be some good times.

The cultural outings that come along with living in a foreign land..


Who doesn't love a good wine tasting?



Huelva Recreativo.. lower division magic!

After vacation I only have 5 weeks left at the high school and then it's summer break for me! Jackie will be visiting for two weeks and then I might be up on the Camino de Santiago hiking like a pilgrim again. Work plans are still up in the air, but I've got many possibilities of English teaching plus the back-up option of going home to see my family and friends and practice English. I am so glad I renewed my contract because I am not done with Spain yet, not even close. Hasta la próxima...
