My spring break

Hello everyone,

This time I will try to keep it short, at least commensurate with the length of the spring break we had. As some of you know, I was fortunate enough to spend it with my loved one, Alina in Santander, Cantabria (for those of you that still haven’t figured it out, yes, in Spain:))

All in all, I can say that we had a great time. Took many long walks in the city, saw the ocean (apparently for the second time in my life since the coast of Norway also seems to count), did many cool spontaneous things and managed to at least partially recharge those batteries... plus I am glad to have had the chance to maintain a closer contact with friends and family for however short a time… it seems that physical proximity (and cheaper rates for EU-EU phone calls:)) still matters in today’s world, after all.

The most important thing for us was to be together, which we managed quite successfully;) My coolest experience was witnessing the booming social life the citizens of Santander appear to have: instead of staying at home watching their TV-s or browsing their internet; Santanderians (I’m gonna make it a thing) hang out with their real-life friends instead. And this applies to every age group from the very young to the very old! Kudos, Spain, I hope you have some more such pleasant surprises in store for us in May…

Overall, it seems that our good old Europe still has a thing for me and I think I can safely say that it’s mutual!:)
