I made the choice

And I chose a lovely small school called Harvest English. I really liked the two women who run it, the girl I'd be replacing has been there for 3 years (a LIFETIME in tefl teaching) and I think I'll be really happy there. There are only 5 teacher total. TINY. But sweet.

So, that's the dealie. I've been here for 10 days, maybe 11, and I found a flat, a job, and a few friends. Unfortunately the job doesn't start until Sept 17, but nothing starts earlier, and really, I could use a vacation!

So, time to play in Barcelona! Beach. Walking around. Free days at the museums. The markets. Making lunch at home (to save those precious euros). Learning Spanish from the book I bought, reading signs, translating with my mini dictionary, speaking awkwardly to strangers in shops and to my Spanish speaking friends. Beach.

I think it'll be nice.

Hey Molly, good to hear that you are doing well in Barca. Autumn is creping up on Prague but that has it's charm as well.

You deserve a holiday. There is nothing better than spending days getting lost in your new hometown :)

BTW you should check out the Salvador Dali museum in Figueres - that's really something else.
