If I stayed an extra 3 Months would it hurt

I have been here almost 3 months!!!!!! I have a ticket back at the end of may but a job that continues to the end of July. If I stay I will be going back to texas the end of July to pick up work there and hopefully find some work teaching. I would hope in this time some people could try to visit. I will keep you all up to date when the time gets closer.

Kendra is avid on staying and I cant blame her we are just now getting settled, finding our place in work and still trying to make friends. She has had a little frustration with work but I think things will be looking up for her soon. She´s the crazy spirit in this bunch for sure.

Roses are Coming up everywhere

April 23. San Jordi. The day when Shakespeare Died and Cervantes Died. This day in Spain was a day when the lady gets a rose from her lover and the woman gives a book to her man. The streets look like Midtown manhattan but more people. If you can believe it. For me it was a dream. I was smacked in the face with more flowers than valentines day and anniversaries combined on my bus ride home from work but my student gave me a rose for being late so I hate to say I was part of that crowd. The lines of people waiting to buy books and meet the authors was any literary enthusiasts dream. They love literature here they love love. It was incredible and If I can get pictures up I will. If not I will show them to you all by the campfire.

Ciao

I lost it all and Now Ill try to recover in less description

Ok, I lost my essay of a blog two seconds ago but I must say that this past weekend in Sardinia was a real gem of a time. Kendra and I pointed and clicked our way to the spot in less than I day and stumbled upon this new destination. From the moment off the bus and into the arms of a man who led us to his car, dont worry mom I was with kendra, I knew this was going to be an interesting trip. I had for certain thought we were leaving to girls stranded to their villa when we got into his car and drove up the mountain to a beautiful villa. But it was for us, but how could that be, he didnt even know we were going to be at the bus stop. My mind cannot wrap around that one still. That night we were at a loss for what to do but the next night with the Live show of every beautiful italian gutter punk and metal head. We met the band, the owner and everyone else and walked the streets until 7am. The next day we took the kids train around the old town and saw beauty that resembled much of Greece
Now Im back with more classes and an offer to stay until the end of July but I dont know yet. Kendra got more work at my school and we are awaiting the great day of San Jordi Manana. A book exchange and A rose to celebrate the love of couples and the death of Cervantes and Shakespear. ITs bigger than VDAY here. Why cant we have this

PICTURES...Lets try again shall we

I have Found Poetry

On a recent trip to Kabul our favorite Greek restaurant which we go to about 2 times a week we interupted a poetry reading they were having. God had opened up the creative clouds. I talked to the owner of the restaurant and he wanted me to read that night, but I was unprepared. Now....I shall begin the translating.

And So it Begins But from the Beginning First

PICTURES....I didnt take them but at least someone did

When I said that was as bad as things could have gotten and a beer bottle fell from the top floor at our undgerground flamenco bar onto Kendra..s head, we re evaluated certain things we may have been looking for. But, really nothing has changed in terms of our love for this place. Maybe it has become more of a comfortable day to day lifestyle for us. Our roomate left for Malta, and we are still waiting to take another real weekend trip. But the weather is getting nicer and the hippies are coming out of the holes with tamores. The drum circles boom here.



Things here are going well. My classes are adjusting fine and I am feeling more comfortable with the levels of my students. Kendra is getting more work as well so in that department its a constant learning and great experience for us both. I played a guessing game with my UPS class in the middle of the work day on a Monday and somehow managed to have us all laughing in tears by the game we played. That laugher carried withthe other six classes that day and made what I am doing here all worth while.



Aside from work, Kendra and I have seemed to make a home out of Barcelona much like NY. All our friends are bartenders, which may lead to some question, but if anyone is looking for a cheap night out when they come we are getting hooked up so you will be in for a treat haha. It has its moments of really making the world seem like a small place when you run into all the people you know at one time.

And So it Begins
