Quite an experience. As
excited about setting off to our travel destinations (Eindhoven, Amsterdam,
Hamburg and Lisbon), we were the same about coming back home to Madrid and
being with our cat, Hendrix. Shannon and I talked about this while on the trip:
we are definitely made for warm weather, and Hamburg definitely solidified that
fact.
After having some
difficulty on finding ways to Madrid from Lisbon, we decided to take a 9ish
hour bus ride. We sat in the back, and soon realized that this is quite the
small world. Turned out that right next to us were sitting a Venezuelan couple,
who lives in Miami, and both with ties to Orlando and UCF.
Anyways, we were happy to
be back, and not so much about going back to work (who isn’t?) For me, work
seemed like a fog, struggling to get back in the grind of things. Although I
had a determination: to work harder and be better to what I set out to do,
teach English. So far it’s going well, and I’m enjoying it a bit more than in
November and December. As for Shannon, she’s decided that being an assistant is
not right for her.
Madrid is cold and windy
now. However, spring is coming, and we are really excited. Right now, we’re
planning our spring break trip, and we can’t wait to see what turns out. Next
weekend though, we will be in the historical city of Granada, where Muslim
architecture, markets, customs and much more remain after hundreds of years of
Moorish control of Spain.
