Another unplanned holiday.

Yes, a five day weekend!!! Most teachers are off to a conference in Egypt. I figured I'd go to Budapest or Brussels. Made no plans for either. I did check for flights though, and direct to BP is 900EUR !!!! Less than 300 EUR is a change or two and can take seven hours.

Anyway... I'm broke. I have bills to pay in the USA. Plus, the ATM ate my debit card, so I can't buy anything online anyway.

I might go down to Granada for a couple of day? Maybe see Cordoba. Should probably see about pensions?


Santiago de Compostela.

We had a four day weekend, so, as I always fail to even think about plans on these occasions, I had decided to just go up to SC with three other teachers. Boring!!!

However, I had a great day when I spent the day in the city by myself (they were on a day trip). I wandered, I took photos, I ate tapas, drank nice dry regional wine....

My horoscope that day though, in the local paper, in Spanish, promised great intimacy and more, THAT DAY. I kept my eyes open. I guess it really meant with myself.

I have much better pictures, but no time to go through them just yet.





Busy month! First week I went to the Grados moutains here near Madrid. It was a three day field-trip. The constant buzz of 33 kids screaming nonstop physically hurt my years. Took two days to recover once back.
