December 2017 For my December puente break, a fellow teacher and I took a road trip to Portugal. It’s just over the border from Spain and such a short drive from where we live in Córdoba.

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. Or maybe more like a townie. I’ve never lived in rural, roughing-it terrain. But really, it’s not … More España: Falling into Place
Spain Weeks 16, 17 & 18 January 2018 Happy New Year! To be honest 2018 started out kind of rough.

November 2017 As a birthday treat to myself I booked a weekend getaway to the gorgeous city of Granada. And it turned out to be one of my absolute favorite cities.
