To infinity and beyond...

I know that my blog and social media posts make it seem like I am doing more "abroad" than "study." Well looks can be deceiving. Didn't your mother ever tell you to not judge a book by its cover? But in this case, the cover does tell the story.

You open the book, and quickly discover a fairy tale of European adventures. Our story begins with a knight in shinning armor and his damsel in less-than-distress.

They traveled Europe on their trusty metal steed whom they appropriately named Metro. They walked through enchanted forests and got help from some unexpected friends. And they climbed to the tallest room of the tallest tower, where he discovered that his sleeping beauty had been with him all along. You turn the page to realize that the rest of the book is blank, ready for the new adventures that are to be told...

After spending Semana Santa in Greece with the kids, Mom and Dad needed a vacation from their vacation. So they packed their bags and got as far away from them as possible. So far in fact, that they actually found the end of the world!

Cape St. Vincent is the most southwestern point in Portugal; it was believed that this is where the sunset was the largest and most beautiful because the world ended at the sea's horizon. So the prince and his princess journeyed to the end of the world only to discover that the world is in fact round.

But that disappointment was made up for when they cruised on a pirate ship, sipped coffee at world's end, and beached the days away.

So remember, things are not always as they appear. Unless I appear to be having fun. Then yes, that part is very true. Stay tuned for the happily ever after...
