Monday, May 27th, began my second to last week. I can’t believe how fast time has FLOWN by. Seems like just yesterday I arrived in Tordesillas! On Monday, I caught up on some lesson planning for the week, made some games for pronunciation and vocabulary, and enjoyed a relaxing night after the busy week with … More la cantaria
I’m back with part 2 of my parents visit! I’ve been trying to really enjoy my last few days in Spain, so these last entries are going to be a bit delayed. On Saturday, May 25th, Juanjo and Rosa took us to see Ávila, which is one of the nine capital cities in the province … More americanos en españa – ávila + madrid
I’m back after a week of fun-filled adventures with my parents! Although, I have officially been banned from planning future vacations. “Apparently” I made them walk too much and we saw four churches too many (we only saw four churches!) :P. I wanted to fit in as much as possible on their short trip and … More americanos en españa – salamanca + valladolid
After all the birthday festivities, I was feeling a little under the weather and took it easy during the week. Monday, I had a fun day at school presenting about “At the Beach” vocabulary for 3rd grade and “In the Countryside” vocabulary for 4th grade. Tuesday, I had my private lessons after school and Lola … More valencia + xàtiva + moixent
I had a very low key week after Munich because I was utterly exhausted. Monday was a blur, Tuesday I had all three of my tutoring lessons and I have a new student – a two year old girl (this is going to be interesting!!!), and Wednesday I watched a bunch of Netflix at home … More mis cumpleaños
Onto the next adventure to Munich, Germany for Springfest! Springfest, also known as Frühlingsfest in German, is the smaller, less famous sister festival of Oktoberfest! It wasn’t very crowded, there were hardly lines for the beer tents or rides, and there were less tourists! It was perfect, but I’ll definitely have to go back to experience … More munich
After a fun low key weekend, it was time for school! Monday and Tuesday had really lovely weather and after school on Monday, I went to the park to read a bit and try to tan a little because it was warm enough for shorts. I didn’t last long because it was too hot and … More segovia + pedraza
I’m lagging a bit, so we’re back to the week of April 22nd for this post! After a jam-packed 8 days, I was excited to get back to Spain and my new “normal.” To be honest, I was mostly excited to sleep in a consistent bed for the first time in about a month – … More villalar
The final installment in the Semana Santa vacation series! Sorry in advance, but it’s a long one! Thanks for hanging in there with me! 🙂 On Thursday, after our stop in Kutná Hora, we arrived in Prague at golden hour. It was so incredible to see the main plaza, called Old Town Square, lit up … More prague
Back again with a post from the trip! There’s just one more after this for Prague and then it’s back to our regularly scheduled programming from Spain (at least for now :P). After packing up from Vienna and our really fun night at the Travel Shack, we boarded the bus for a stop in Krems, … More krems + ceský krumlov + kutná hora
