I FOUND FALL!!!

Yes, that's right, I found it... in Almeria!

For those of you who have never experienced seasonal depression, it is real.  Now, I'm sure I am being overly dramatic because it seems to be just as hot in Lynchburg and Salem, but all I want is fall.  Now generally seasonal depression is probably from too much winter, but Spain has definitely made me a believer in four seasons.  It has been hot since we got here and I think it is worsened by the fact that we have no Air Conditioning so it is literally ALWAYS hot.  

So anyways, I found fall.

How? Today I went on a field trip with the five year olds to a place called Abla which is about 50 minutes from Huercal and they have real trees and it is actually fall there.  The purpose of the trip was literally to see the "Autumn leaves." And I can truthfully tell you that was about as much as this field trip consisted of.  

For me a field trip is going somewhere to be educated about something outside of school.  For them field trip is an all day play day away from the school.  It was fun though and it was a nice break for me.  I got to hang out with the teachers while the kids played for like six hours.  There were chestnuts roasting over an open fire (which is apparently a fall thing, but I definitely thought was a Christmas thing).   

Plus I got to eat some nice sandwiches and got to take home like half of the extra food.  

So... short post... but that is what I did today.  Sorry I don't have pictures because today happened to be the day I lost my phone, but don't worry, the lady who found it was DETERMINED to get it back to me, so I have it now.
