A year in Europe!!!!

---

In just a few days, it will mark the beginning of my new life in Europe a YEAR ago!!! I am in shock! So much has happened. I have learned how to appreicate more in my life such as family, friends and life goals. I met the most incredible man, ever! I have learned to sharpen my skills as a teacher and became independent in a country I couldn´t call my own. I learned how to order Chinese over the phone.... I learned how different Mexicans and Spaniards really are..... I learned that in just a weekend you can travel to at least two other countries. And most importantly, I have learned that it is possible to slow life down and to live in it in its purest form.

I have met a lot of characters along the way... some stay and others have left. Most leave...for many entering Madrid, they stay for only a short time, to learn a few phrases in a new language, to glimpse a life unimaginable, then leave to go back to familiarity. A few, like myself stay. A year, maybe two...maybe forever... I am still open all of it. But the adventures dont end here. I am beginning to become extremely fascinated with Japan. Hmm... Japanese? how hard could that be?

Here are some random pictures of the year......
