Leaving for Spain

Tomorrow, I will be leaving for three weeks to Spain  to visit a multitude of spots within the country.  The cities that I will be visiting are Barcelona, Tortosa, Valencia, Granada, Cordoba, Salamanca and Madrid.   I have been involved in the planning of this trip and I am cannot wait for my trip.  I honestly can`t wait for the trip for two reasons:

1) I love being in a Mediterranean climate, and the aspects which make that kind of climate worth living in.      I also have many friends from my time of studying abroad and it is nice to see old friends.


2) I am also seeking to gain a position as an English teacher within the city of Barcelona.  I will be using my trip as a way to job search within the area and get a foot into the local english teaching market.

I will update on my trip as soon as I have free time within each city.

In the words of Saint Anselm,

"Lord Jesus Christ; Let me seek you by desiring you, and let me desire you by seeking you;
let me find you by loving you,
and love you in finding you.
I confess, Lord, with thanksgiving,
that you have made me in your image,
so that I can remember you, think of you, and love you.
But that image is so worn and blotted out by faults,
and darkened by the smoke of sin,
that it cannot do that for which it was made,
unless you renew and refashion it.
Lord, I am not trying to make my way to your height,
for my understanding is in no way equal to that,
but I do desire to understand a little of your truth
which my heart already believes and loves.
I do not seek to understand so that I can believe,
but I believe so that I may understand;
and what is more,
I believe that unless I do believe, I shall not understand."
