And Here Comes April!

Wow, these last few months have flown by fast.

A lot of you know that this whole trip hasn't exactly been the most glowingly positive experience of my life. It's been a very long, hard journey, but I'm glad to say that with the past few weeks I've really begun to enjoy Spain.

The other day I had lunch with my boss. Well, lunch isn't really the right word. More like a three hour food extravaganza/walking tour of Córdoba. We sat in the middle of a sea of umbrella covered tables in one of the oldest squares in Córdoba and drank Pepsi's while discussing world politics. We then moved on to one of the most traditional restaurants in Córdoba for a three course meal of salmorejo, bull tail, and flemenquín (it's like deep friend sausage... sort of) while listening to men practice their singing abilities for the Santa Semana processions later that evening. We topped it off with coffee and ice cream at a small café right across the street from some botanical gardens.

It was an awesome day, and with the weather warming up, I'm starting to enjoy my time here.
