Life in Spain is really relaxed. Eating and drinking is very important and things are just very very laid back. Meetings that are planned on some fixed hour are always flexible. People showing up half an hour or en entire hour late is more common than people arriving on time.

I like the lifestyle. The only weird thing is that sometimes I feel like I don’t belong here in Spain, and I’m living a weird version of the Spanish life. Everyone speaks a strange language, has different customs and sometimes my world just feels different. I am no longer a tourist but I’m definitely not a Spaniard. It leaves me with a strange feeling.

I look forward to visiting Holland again soon. Afterwards we’ll just have to see and I’ll try and find some work in Spain. It’s going to be an interesting adventure.

Still two more weeks of classes and then I plan to visit Holland for 9 days. I’m looking forward to this visit!!

Having drinks, climbing, rafting?!, visiting family, visiting friends, arranging things, doing some Spanish cooking (Paella and Tortilla), etc. etc. Huuuh!

Yesterday we were forced to enjoy an entire day of rain. It started the day before yesterday with some very light showers but yesterday the weather made a turn for the worse, and it just rained and kept raining the entire day. No a very nice situation if you only own shirts and don’t even have a coat, let alone an umbrella or a rain coat.

The Spanish people seemed happy though. Not because of the traffic jams, or the water flowing in all the streets, but they were happy with seeing water again after such a long time. Their water supplied had almost been empty.
I hope the drought will return and I’ll be able to enjoy the sun again soon.
