Cáceres in September

I spent a month in Cáceres, a beautiful city in the north of Extremadura. The month of September to further define it. I was doing a months intensive Spanish course. I realized a couple of things during that month. One was that I enjoy studying things that I enjoy. Like Spanish. The other is that I kinda dig living alone. I spent two months this summer living alone (for the first time really as I've always lived with a family ((mine or a borrowed one)) or friends). There are advantages to each one, but this past month I appreciated what it is to live alone.

I am doing a Spanish exam in November so this course was preparing me if you will. Currently I am going through a prep book I bought for this exam. Needless to say if I didn't like Spanish this would be as fun as watching grass grow, but like I mentioned before, studying something I enjoy isn't all that bad. So the month was good, I met some great people from all over the world: Palestine, Leictenstein/Pakistan, Granada, Cáceres, England, Argentina, etc, ate some great food, ie torta del casar (good strong cheese if its your thing), lentils from Palestine, secreto iberico, as well as some other stuff whose names I can't remember!

Anyways, I am back in Badajoz now and the course is finished (as is the lack of internet access which I very much learned to appreciate). Teaching has kicked off and is now in high gear. An income is usually a good thing. Not to much on the cooker for the next month or so, just studying for the DELE exam and teaching the english.

FYI, in the fotos are my friends Jared and Mau with the old lady when they came to visit me in Cáceres. Good times in a nice city. Recommend it on your tour of Spain.
