I stand enjoying the sun in front of the modern residence building I call home.

The sun seems to always be shining in Spain. :) While I doubt that will last forever, the weather here is a mark improvement over Canada at this point in the year. A 10°C improvement at least. And the nice thing about where I am located is that it isn't in Madrid, it is in Leganés, which is smaller and much cleaner I'm sure with respect to air quality. So instead of the haze that sat over Thessaloniki, I have crystal clear skies. Blue skies. Essentially in the suburbs of Leganés, the residence is near a park and there are plenty of places to walk, jog or simply sit out on the grass and enjoy the hot weather. I'm not sure if we will have all that much time for doing those things, because they are being up front about the fact that this term will be busy. Fortunately for me, some of the material is already familiar.

When there is a spare moment, I want to pick up some more athletic wear and perhaps start walking/jogging in the morning. Of course, I would need to get up earlier for that and I know from experience that is not that likely to happen. But terms are for making lofty promises to yourself that have little to no chance of actually materializing.

I still plan to add some more content about my last week in Greece, and I did get some photos up from my trip to Athens, but there are still more, but it takes time to both decide which pictures to publish and to write captions and to write witty little descriptions about the events that lead to the photos. So bear with me. Gracias.

It appears as though you found new sneakers - bravo. At first I thought you were in bare feet because your sneakers are white and aparently so are your legs ;P
Hope you're enjoying the spanish weather... This talk of the heat makes me want to make the voyage back over to enjoy it. When is the rainy season over there? Will August be nice do you think?

Wow! You're already done with Greece! That term seems to have flown by, too bad I'm still stuck in my Canadian Gov. office job.
Good to see you're doing well. Spain is BEAUTIFUL, I hope you enjoy it!

You are right Holly, the term did fly by. It was fun and there are parts of it that I am going to miss, but I also look forward to a great new experience here in Spain. Regarding my sneakers, yes they are new. I was going to write a post about the day I bought them, but that opportunity seems to have slipped by.

What Now?

Well, it would seem that for the most part, my Europe Adventure is over. It has been an amazing time. Now, I am reviving the ailing colibate.com and going to make a go of it over there. All the best.
