a reminder.

Well, here we are again, Monday.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are ready for the week to come. Here’s a little reminder for you, too. Some of my favorite photos are just little shots from the sky above, and this was one of the views I had last week when walking home from work. Cheers to you all, and to my fellow teachers in Spain as we get through exams and the final bit of the year. be back soon! xx

happy monday.

 

Mondays are hard. As I type this post, I’m very torn between hopping back into bed or heading to the gym — and oh so grateful my schedule allows such an option. I forgot to bring my camera to the beach this weekend, so I’ve only got a few shots from my phone to remember the relaxing days on the beach. Nonetheless, it was was a wonderful trip, and just what I needed to push me through the last three weeks of classes.

P.S. Has anyone else gotten into this application? I just discovered it this week, and I love it!

1. A lovely scene on the street last thursday, when there was a city-wide holiday.

2. Sometimes up is the best place to look.

3. Roasted cherry tomatoes are my favorite quick-fix for a salad.

4. Discovered the most delicious bar in triana with a friend. their menu mainly consists of cheese, so I’m in.

5. Feria de Córdoba, por fín! Olé!

6. I try to buy flowers every week. it brightens up the apartment and just makes me feel happier.

12. A light dinner.

13. A perfect little plaza.

14. There are few things better than an early breakfast in the sun. Even better when you’re five minutes away from the beach.

plaza de españa.

The Plaza de España, and the beautiful Parque de María Luisa that surrounds it, is one of my favorite parts of Sevilla. Even on a cloudy day, it shines a little brighter than the rest of the city.

And on a day when you have a visitor, it’s the loveliest stop to make.

Cheers to a special visitor from Nebraska, a little walk around the park and a weekend of catching up with an old friend.

15. Well, really just looking everywhere.

16. Dressed like a gitana!

what saturdays are for.

Sleeping in late, procrastinating work until quiet Sunday mornings, pancakes for breakfast, walking around the city, having long lunches, and, when things are just right, meeting an old friend for an afternoon of cañas, cheese and catching up. I met up with Caroline a while back, but just got around to finding these photos. What a lovely Saturday it was — I can still hear our laughs outside that little packed Spanish bar.

And now, back to Monday, a day for remembering the weekend and longing for the next!
