My last day with my host family is Friday and I move most everything I own to my new place tomorrow! I have a piso (apartment) with three roommates about a half hour from my school and 45 minutes to the center of the city. My last day of Spanish classes is Friday (theoretically) and then I have two whole weeks free with no obligations until I need to be back in Madrid for meetings about my new job. I start teaching October 1st!
Until that time I am going to attempt to see as much of Europe as I can which means my passport will be getting a workout! I have tickets for eight days in Greece starting next Tuesday and then when I get back I immediately turn around an fly out to Majorca, which is a small island off the coast of Spain. But before any of that happens I have one more trip, which I didn't expect to take.
So here is the game: I won a trip online with a company the specializes in trips for Americans. It will be a long weekend, starting this Friday. I leave from Madrid by train (which I had to buy a ticket for) to get to our meeting point and then I get on a bus out of Spain. I have two nights (free!) in a fancy hotel near the beach as well as half day tours with a guild, some group meals, and options to add on a Kayaking trip or surfing lessons. So based on that information, where in the world am I going?
It's a whirlwind and I feel a bit mad (in the best way possible), but a it seemed like a good reason to play hooky from school for a day!
An answer and pictures of my travels will be posted when I get back!
