In less than two weeks, my suitcases will be packed and I’ll say good-bye to my piso, my friends in Roquetas, teachers at school and my students. It’s a strange feeling. Never a fan of packing all at the last minute, I’m slowly going through papers and brochures I’ve accumulated, and odds and ends. I’ll … Continue reading »

Luckily, my bag has been packed and everything fits with room to spare, which makes me question if I’ve forgotten anything. Oh well. Doesn’t matter anymore.
