Two weeks in

Time is moving so quickly here in Spain. I feel more at home day by day, but a recent trip to Almeria (the province where I will be working) to complete some legal paperwork (which turned out to be a miserable failure) made clear that everything will be changing in couple of weeks as I move out of my homestay, finish my classes, and say goodbye to many new friends.

Right now, with the aforementioned luxuries, I am having an absolute blast. The daily schedule is largely wide open, with just enough structure to make fun plans. Everyone at the school, whether they are from Germany, Japan or Turkey, also wants to meet interesting and exotic people, so there is always something to do.
This is from Maude's going away party (She's actually taking the photo). The classes at CLIC, our language school, are changing every week so you can come and go according to your own schedule. In the picture we are enjoying tinto de verano while waiting for the tapas, the small appetizers that everyone shares when you go out. The other guy is my roomate Michael. For some reason this program is more appealing to women. Which is just fine.
