Hello there! How was your weekend? Are you losing track of time? I am! It’s a beautiful and warm (almost 70 degrees) day here in Madrid and the streets are empty and there is a mild police presence outside- so strange isn’t it? I am on the phone with Wix trying to make some changes […]
A Day at Islas Cies: How to Prepare & What to Pack
If you are planning a trip to Vigo or to the north of Spain, making time for a day at Islas Cies is mandatory. Make time to see this unique beach that has soft white sand, crystal clear water, and is almost completely natural. Islas Cies is, without a doubt, one of my favorite places I’ve seen […]

Hello and Happy Monday to ya! This time next week, I will only have FIVE DAYS LEFT! And in two days, it will be the official hump of this long trip. If you can’t tell, I am still very much not loving Santiago. The program itself is fine, and the kids are great and I […]
Days 2, 3, 4 & 5 in Santiago, Chile
Good afternoon from the computer lab of our “school” here in Chile. Thank goodness for these computers, otherwise I would be limited to my iPhone for blog writing and that wouldn’t work well and all of you would be left post-less…. the horror!

Santiago, Chile: Getting Here
Hello from Santiago, Chile and the very sticky keyboard in the hostel! If any words I write are missing letters, blame this keyboard. First lesson I’ve learned here: to type the @ symbol, you need to type Alt + 64… how would anyone ever figure this out? I had to ask the guy at the […]
