Summer begins.
We started June returning to the Kornati islands but this time on the occasion of the Kornati-Važno je o moru znati project. The experience was different this time because we went for two days and the weather was good so we could enjoy more.
Our work on the boat was to collect photo and video material from the workshops and activities during the trip. During our free time, I was able to jump off the cliffs, read, snorkel, and be impressed by the deep sea.
A week later we went to Zadar as we had scheduled the Mid-term evaluation meeting. There we could not only meet again with some of our on arrival training partners, but we could also meet new people and make a good group of friends with whom we could spend those days.
The truth is that when the mid-term was coming to an end I was only thinking about going home since I had scheduled a trip to Galicia as soon as it was over to surprise my family, since they thought I wouldn’t be back until October. And so it was, a few days later I was running at the airport with a feeling of euphoria and incredible joy for being home after 6 months.
It’s funny since many people go abroad and don’t want to come back home, but in my case, I was dying for it. The days in Galicia were rainy and cool, but I didn’t care, I was at home with my dog, my family, friends and walking the streets of the most beautiful city in the world, as well as enjoying the unbeatable gastronomy of my terrine, I didn’t need anything else at that moment.
I was also able to enjoy San Juan, which for those who don’t know it and are reading this, you should come to Coruna on June 23rd and experience it in first person.
Anyway, without a doubt June was a relaxing month and a good start of the summer. And coming back home has given me the strength and energy I needed to finish this experience learning and enjoying it to the fullest.
Let’s see how fast the summer goes by and what the next months have in store for us.
