Trip to Spain

Emily, Kaela & me in Jerez

December 2008

Over the winter break I traveled to Spain to visit Kaela. She is teaching English for a year in Jerez de la Frontera and I was very lucky to spend over a week with her during the holidays. We first spent a half day in Madrid, where we saw beautiful Christmas lights all over the city. Then we headed down to her home city, Jerez, and spent most of the week floating from bar to café, shopping, and eating delicious foods. 

Here are a few of my favorites from the trip:

Despite all the great things I experienced during my visit, the best part of the vacation was seeing Kaela and learning about her life in Spain. Although she is missed terribly in the States, I was happy to see her thriving and content in Jerez. That said, I'm still counting down the days until she returns!

I've uploaded a slideshow of more photos if you are interested-enjoy!
