Rut

For reasons I don't understand, I've been in something of a rut. There was always a concern over what I would spend my time doing while Matthew worked, but I took the cross that bridge when we get there attitude. Well, now I'm at the edge of the water, and it feels like there is no bridge in sight. I thought finding work would be easier (I'm offering to work for free!), but no luck there. Not that I've searched this week. Le sigh.

Whats even sillier is that we really had a great weekend and week. We went for ribs on Friday, went to another regatta on Saturday (and our boys got 3rd place!). Afterwards we went to the serious wine area in the Rias Bajas and we drank wine and ate food at 2 "illegal" wine houses. They are private homes that have vineyards but produce more than they can consume, so they put tables in their garages and sell their wine to the public, along with tasty tasty food. They are illegal because they aren't licensed places. And then on Sunday, our friendly adoptors took us to Finesterra, the western most point in Europe, which prior to the discovery of the new world, was considered the end of the world. We saw plenty of sites on the day trip, inlcuding Galicia's longest beach, the only waterfall in Europe that falls directly into the ocean, the two longest horreos in Galicia (traditional graineries), the "Museum of the German," which might require its own post. And then on Wednesday, Matthew and I went to Restaurant Solla and had a delightful 14 course meal, which ranks as one of the best meals we've ever had.

All of this is to say, I shouldn't be in a rut. We are having an excellent time. Its Friday night, which means its rib night again. And I was just informed that we are doing an all day bbq tomorrow on the beach. And it is a beautiful day in Puebla today. Probably the warmest day since we arrived. I've got to get out of this headspace. Ugh, sorry to be airing my dirty laundry on the internet, I just needed to get this out.
