Flag of Spain and Canary Islands  , Madrid,
Wednesday, April 23, 2008

Let the 4 month countdown begin! Actually, I've decided not to count down, cause it'll make it seem longer than it actually is. Plus, I want to make the most of my last few months here. But it will go by fast; I have a job now, teaching English part-time, but at least it'll keep me busy during the day, and with 1 Euro pushing $1.60, any money is good.

I'm going to Granada this weekend, the Canary Islands in June, and Paris in August. I'm still trying to squeeze in a trip to Morocco in May. So there's quite a bit to look forward to. I'm wish I could travel more of Europe, but I'm already so fortunate to have been to so many places already.

Today also marks 6 months since my beloved dog died. The grieving process has long since ended, but it's hard not get a little teary eyed when looking at pictures. It's just that inexplicable yearning for good times that have since passed. I think you guys understand, but if not, this is what I mean:

That picture just melts my heart. It's so hard when you love something for so long, and then in an instant, it's gone, and you didn't even have the chance to say goodbye. But I've learned that from every difficult situation, there's something to be learned. That's just enough consolation to make it through another day.

Thank you all for your support these past 8 months (can you believe it's been that long already?!) Ok, Granada pictures will be up by Monday!
