Personal Update

Just dropping all my friends back in the States a line to let you all know how I'm doing in Barcelona.  Sarah and I have moved into our new place in the heart of the city and we are thoroughly enjoying it here.  The apartment is open, airy and bright, which is quite a contrast to our former cave-like dwelling.  The walls are all whites and yellows and oranges and the flat has a very warm feel to it.
Sarah's busy with school work and I'm busy distracting myself, but she's settled into a routine and I'm quickly finding a rhythm myself.  One that gets me out of the house more, I hope.  I've got a couple language exchanges going on, one with a friend of ours and another with someone I met through a site called Lingo Bongo.  People go there to post for language exchanges as well as teaching classes in English or French or German or whatever.

Hopefully, we'll get to do some traveling this summer.  I personally don't care where; there's a ton of Spain left to see and we've some family and friends in other realms around the continent, so if everything works out, I'll be telling you all about adventures in France or Germany or Eastern Europe, perhaps!

All's well here, so I'll leave you with a photo of the garden my lovely wife has been working on:

That's my bamboo in the center!
