I know it's been an extremely long time since I've wrote, but I've been feeling a little overwhelmed and busy lately.
Last Thursday, I arrived home from a week in Oporto, Portugal. I really enjoyed my stay there and am already missing the perfect weather of Portugal. The high was about 60 degrees, which felt wonderful, but a little chilly during the nights. The city had so much history. We frequently passed signs stating things like, "This building was the main center for trade during the 1300's." Also, the moment we arrived there, it felt like we had stepped back into the 1960's. Many people didn't own televisions and if they did they were old, black and white models. The homes were so old and many of the people dressed in an older style of clothing, as if Oporto was about 20 years behind the rest of the West. I really loved visitng the city, it was so different than anywhere I've been before.

The weather is miserably hot today and has been for the past two days. The news said yesterday was the hottest day in the past 6 years in Catalonia. I believe it. I guess this is what you get when you live just right above Africa. But gosh, life without an airconditioner is sure hard.


Besides that, I have only been working and enjoying life here in Spain.
I will update again soon. Hopefully I'll something exciting to write about then!
