SPAIN | Sunday, 13 Apr 2008 | Views [539]

It´s unbelievable how quickly the past week has flown by and even harder to imagine that one week from now I will be settling into my new home in Madrid. My first week in Alicante seemed to crawl by as I struggled to overcome jetlag and adapt to ... Read more >
