I have had a few opportunities to travel while I've been here. I've written a bit about my trip to and time in Bilbao - both the food and the scenery . The other weekend I had the chance to do two trips in one day, to two different parts of Spain. First, Las Médulas in the morning. A World Heritage Site. With good reason!

I have now been in Spain for more than nine weeks, so I thought I'd share an update on my language learning experience and progress. In case you're interested, my previous post can be found here . The process of learning a language in another country where that language is used can be extremely frustrating. I am used to understanding quickly and doing very well in my studies. I like to read and can usually wade through pages relatively quickly. This is not necessarily the case in Spanish.

One of our lecturers brought in a puzzle the other week for us to work on in our breaks if we wanted. It's a truly beautiful puzzle of a wildlife sanctuary, with tigers and elephants and peacocks. And 500 pieces.
