Kristen and I unwound in Cambridge with my family for a while and went to see some tennis at Wimbledon. We had some great times in London with my family and chilled in Cambridge and had a lovely time. After a few weeks Kristen went back to Arizona to prepare for moving to Colorado and spend time with her family and I spent the rest of my "year off" making the most of the free time: I spent a week in Ibiza which was beautiful - seeing the sunset at Cafă» Del Mar and mountain biking around the quiet parts of the little Island. I even got to see DJ Tiesto at Amnesia which was pretty amazing. I did find the holiday makers there a little unfriendly compared to the travelers I have gotten used to meeting in Africa and Asia which was a shame. The weather and scenery though made up for it. After Ibiza I popped in on some very good friends in Paris which was great. A few days back in Cambridge decorating my mum's teaching room and then it was off to visit a special friend in San Francisco for a week before arriving back in Boulder.
Lucky enough to get laid off and took 6 months in Asia, then 3 in Africa. Planning to do it all again in September - but this time one year in Asia and then on to Central and South America.
