Weeks 32, 33, 34, 35 & 36 May 2018 I made it! My last month working as an auxiliar and living in Spain. And what a month it was! Honestly, I think I was sick for two thirds of it. But that can sometimes happen when there is so much anticipation for something to end … More España: Reasons to Celebrate
Weeks 28, 29, 30 & 31 April 2018 I was talking to my Mom one Wednesday afternoon, our weekly time to chat, and she made a comment about how many holidays I have. “Do you ever work?” she asked. Well, it doesn’t seem like it. Spain has a ton of holidays and random days off. … More España: Holiday in Spain

We wandered and … More Photoblog: Castle and Grounds of Almodóvar del Río, Spain

Spain Weeks 19, 20, 21 & 22 February 2018 I’m officially a city dweller! And I have never been so happy about it. I’m a not a city person, as a rule, I’d called myself a country gal.
