Well, here I am counting down the days until I land in Spain.... 37 days......
Here in the photo (and the new blog header) are my favourite photos that I took the last time I was in Spain. They are (left to right, top first) Cuenca, Tarifa, Cadaques, Tarifa, Estepona, Valencia (during Las Fallas), Cadaques, and Barcelona.
I'm quite stoked because the two Cadaques photos (and another two of mine, the London Eye and a pipi shell in Raglan) were selected from 4,000 photos in a FlickrYahoo! competition, and made the top 100, so were put in the Auckland Art Gallery. Quite chuffed about that!
I have a place to stay in July now, flatting with an Aussie near the heart of Bilbao (as opposed to living near the sea in Getxo like last time). I'm starting to prepare my English classes too! Actually, if you go to that link, and have a look around, you'll even find a photo of me teaching there in 06/07!!
I've decided on where I'm going to do my 1 month intensive Spanish course, the University of Santiago de Compostela will be the place. I've never been there so am definately looking forward to that!!! Santiago de Compostela is famous for being the destination of the Camino de Santiago, or in English, the Pilgrims Trail, which starts in France, and ends up in the corner of Spain (about 800km).
After August however, who knows where I'll end up!!!!

Quote from the photo: When you travel, curiosity is never-ending; everything is new and you want to get to know it.
