Save some face, you know you've only got one. Change your ways while you're young.

Hello. I live in Spain! Yeah, I got a job...

...in Andalucía. Moving again, luckily my life fits into one (rather large) case.

The other morning I woke up to the sound of lots of people talking and curiously looked out the front window to see a street market practically on my doorstep! I was so excited, it was brilliant. I took photos out of my window and dragged my friend down to have a look. Then we played the Russian Roulette comida game, which basically entails eating something even though you don't have a clue what it is. I got some fried cheesy, potato thing...I survived. My Spanish lessons have been going great. I am the class clown, it's a tough job but someone's gotta do it.

Gosh, I'll really miss the cojones off Valencia -yes, I am allowed to invent my own cojones sayings, feel free to do the same- but, I'm also excited about new Andalusian adventures to come. I've got no time to think about boys, that's for sure...

Oh, and I'm doing Te's Postcard Service again! So, email me an address if you'd like a postcard from Valencia: thatwassubtle@gmail.com

  4. HEYYYY! XDDD awesome awesome photo. The page loaded and I saw that gorgeous photo and I do think my breath was temporarily suspended. Heh I always get that feeling with your blog! :)

    Thanks so so much for your really sweet comment, Te. I read and re-read it and it made so much sense... I guess sometimes though the obvious is staring at you right in the face it still takes someone else to say it before it really sinks in? Thanks for taking the time to read through and understand it...
