Salamanca
... tea, we sat and did some student watching, reminising on how much we would have loved to share this with the kids. We really miss them a lot, just don't tell them the old folks think of them constantly.

... of the tours I went on during the 2 weeks.
Beyond studying the school also gave me an opportunity to meet some really great people. So a shout out goes to my new German, English and African friends.
