Hasta Luego Espana!

Very lucky girl...
Three months to the day of arriving in this wonderful country that has taught me so much, it's time to say good bye and Gracias...
Where do you begin? actually there is so much to say that it's too much, so in a nutshell....

Spanish people by and large are absolutely beautiful, not with standing the grumpy twat at the Barcelona Train station...(although he may have just been having a bad day...)

Beautiful People!
Beautiful moments don't always have to technically be "beautiful" people will still love you if your hair is messy and you need some lippie...   


People and kindness are what it's really all about...dear precious family and friends, shiny new friends and the kindness of absolute strangers has astonished, amazed and humbled me...

The San Sebastian "A" team
If you have to carry it yourself you "weigh" up every purchase on many levels, including a full sized tube of Colgate...
Fresh Milk! is there is a cow in here?

The best traffic lights in Spain are to be found in Malaga (they have a little green man who very considerately counts down from 39 seconds) unlike Valencia, Madrid and San Sebastian that give you three "green man" flashes and turn red...not so bad in San Seb and Madrid, but crossing the Plaza De Aylumento in Valencia which is a about 400ks wide is NOT for the faint hearted...

ATM machines throughout Spain are unfailingly polite and well mannered...
 possibly the loudest waitress ever!

Sometimes "tapas/pinxos" are like a tummy full of marbles, it's great to eat a whole meal on your own!

I am so grateful for the beautiful people that I have met whilst murdering the Spanish Language...
Not learning Spanish...





But without doubt the biggest thing I have learnt...is that most things we worry about aren't really that important AND that you can actually do ANYTHING!!!!
