New Beginning

OK so it is time to start the blog back up again. It has been a long time since I wrote anything yet there is a lot of new news. I delayed the plans for China for awhile in order to take a trip to Spain. I will be living outside of Sevilla in a town called Lebrija with my friend Bijan. I'm not sure for how long but I hope to find a job teaching English somewhere in Sevilla.

I just finished spending some time in France. I some some of my friends and it was a lot of fun yet a healing and learning experience as well. I was treated to many nice things and it was great to catch up with some people that I haven't seen for awhile.

I'm in Sevilla right now. I have to stay the night in a hostel because the last train that I need to catch leaves at 9:30. Last night I flew into a town outside of Barcelona called Reus. When I got to the airport there were no more buses running so I had to take a taxi. Luckily a found a girl from Colorado in the same situation so we took a taxi downtown and found a hostel. It was a nice place, more like a hotel and we split a room for 19 euros each.

Getting into Sevilla was semi-chaotic in the sense that I just barely made the bus and I just barely made the tram to get to the hostel. I was running with my 15kg backpack and my 10kg hand bag. Yet I'm not sure if that is worse than the 4 pairs of pants, 5 shirts, 2 sweaters and a winter-coat loaded with books... I was still wearing the gear that I need to bypass the weight restricts for flying in. Luckily I made it past the luggage checks at the airport.

It feels really good to finally be in the region. The Spanish people seem super friendly and appear to speak extra fast. It looks like it is going to be a lot of fun. Well that is the brief into to a new beginning for now. I'll update more as needed. I might even proofread after I finish yet that is still questionable. If anyone has anyone has suggestions in how I can improve their blog reading experience let me know at any time.

I wish everyone the Best!
