Hasta luego!

When Bucky was offered the job in Barcelona, we were excited and skeptical. It was a great opportunity for him, but I was happy in my job in Charleston and leaving it was not something I wanted to do. But who can pass up a chance to live in another country, experience another culture, have the opportunity to travel? You know that Bucky and I sure can't!

Honestly, sometimes we questioned our decision to move to Barcelona. It was tough for me to find a job, we worried about our daughters in the States and our family had challenges. But we embraced the experience, started hiking with India, travelled to places we had never been before like Morocco, the Greek Islands, Portugal and Croatia. We made new friends who will now be friends forever. We tried new foods and learned how to speak Spanish, somewhat. We experienced a revolution and appreciated the passion of the people Catalan people. 

We were ready to come home and we are glad we did. We are close to our family who need our support. Lucie is living with us which is fun and Kathleen is just a couple of hours away via a direct flight. We are here to celebrate all of the good things in life along with the challenges. Bucky is working at the College of Charleston which is perfect for him. He and I carpool into Charleston together each morning and he takes the bus home, public transportation being a nice remnant of our days in Barcelona. I am back at Snagajob, my employer from before Barcelona and I am happy with my job. I am traveling to India for it this week in fact!

We have many fond memories of our time in Barcelona. I am glad that I documented them here so we can look back and reminisce. We are in Mt. Pleasant for the foreseeable future, and we are embracing THIS adventure. Who knows what the next one will be...

Hasta luego Barcelona!
