Lucky Seven

Seven years together...

Few and Far Between

This is something that we've been talking a lot about lately. Friends. They are hard to find. Being in the working world leaves little time to go out and make friends. And in a small town like Santiago it's even harder. Friendships here go almost all the way back to pre-school, which is great, but you can just imagine how hard it is to try and squeeze into an already long established circle of friends. It's just not going to happen.

With this in mind, we were fortunate to spend time with old friends, Lindsey and Caleb, who were in town a few weekends ago from Barcelona. It was great to sit in a café with Lindsey and just talk for a few hours. I think we both really needed it, and I had really missed that. I also got to see her two amazing kids and watch a little bit of Monsters with them. Thank you Jonas for watering my flowers and picking weeds :)

And if that weren't enough, the same weekend Sarah and her husband Miquel were also in town. We took them to a few of our favorite places to eat out. Did you know you can find NC BBQ in Galicia? We're not all that different after all!

New and Improved

I'm not sure if it's really improved much, but it is new. I thought it was time for a new look.

What to do, what to do...

Jose and I are going to spend our summer vacation with Jose's brother Sergio, who lives in Oviedo, and his wife and daughter, Ana and Iria. We all really like the idea of going camping together. The only problem is that we don't know where. Last year Jose and I camped for two weeks in the province of Cadiz (southern Spain), and we loved it. We were thinking about maybe the coast of France this year. Any ideas from savvy European campers would be great!
