Goodbye Spain

Spain, we have had a great relationship. You've made me indulge in and appreciate this relaxed, worry-free, laid back lifestyle, something hard for me being a pretty worry/stress plagued person.

I came to Spain to experience a new culture, re-learn a language and take a break from life as I have always known it. It has been an amazing experience. I absolutely love the people here, they are so enjoyable to be around. They are sarcastic, warm, and very caring. The weather was a bit rough in the winter, but it was nothing I wouldn't go through all over again to experience this incredible spring breeze and perfect weather.

All in all I love this country. It has its flaws, like all countries, but I have learned to love them, like in any good relationship. I will miss my life here and miss the school, teaching and the kids. I will miss the friends I have made and will definitely miss the weather, the beach, and the mountains. But I know I will be back one day. So for now I will say "hasta luego EspaƱa", "see you later Spain". You have been kind.
