So, after a three week whirlwind tour of Charlottesville, Santa Barbara, Berkeley, back to Santa Barbara, and now again back to Charlottesville, I have seen many people, flown on many planes, and have repacked my suitcase (with a few extra shirts) to head over the great Atlantic: to Espana. I have been able to enjoy the sunshine and have eaten my way through classic california cuisine. Lots of tri tip, smoothies, and trader joes yogurt. I have also adjusted back to the US lifestyle, put on the Bolivian pearls and have yet to take them off, and again feel at home driving down State Street in my volvo station wagon, bumping the tunes and talking loudly on my cellphone.
But now. Looking forward. To Saturday. I just heard from the school I will be teaching at for the first time today. So it exists, and is looking forward to having me. I will be teaching english in Ronda, Spain for the next 8 months. From what I gather, Ronda is a town comprised of 30,000 people and whitewashed buildings. It has the oldest bullfighting ring in Spain, and perched on a hill 2 hours north of the southern coast, it is a scenic and popular stop for tourists. As for the school: it is a language school for students older than 14 years old that teaches english, german and french. That is about all I know. So we will certainly find out in a short 5 days what I am getting myself in for. The first project once I arrive is to find a place to live; since it is such a small town, it will be mostly by word of mouth. Hopefully I will find a place to live without too much trouble. Guest are certainly welcome to my not yet existent abode. I look forward to getting a handle on the city and the region to become an excellent travel guide of the region. I feel confident that this will be a good experience and am eager to get underway with this next step in my cobble stoned journey!
