As always, it's hard to believe that summer is coming to an end. Although I was back at school last week, working half days and having visitors meant that it was pretty relaxed. Monday is the official first day of school, with kids coming on Thursday. As I begin to mentally prepare for a new year - one that includes a brand new position both in and out of the classroom and LOTS to learn - I've also been thinking about what an amazing summer I've had. Ten weeks of vacation means time to do a little bit of everything!
Highlights included my trip to Prague to visit Tessa, my time in the states with family and friends, feeling truly inspired after fantastic conferences in the US, two weeks of Spanish classes, and lots of time to relax and enjoy Barcelona. But, without a doubt, having Lauren and Linsey visit me this summer was the best. Not only did we have an amazing time together, but I got to show two of my best, best friends a bit of my life here in Barcelona. It was so fun to share my favorite restaurants, new friends, and the energy of Barcelona with them. Nothing makes
me happier than seeing that my closest friends are happy and having the opportunity to spend time with them. What a wonderful summer it has been!
