River, Orange blossoms and a basket of eggs...

A few days ago, after a particularly loud lesson, I ached for some peace and quiet. I walked my usual route through the city but that didn’t really work. I needed something else. I needed to hear flies in their flight, feel the wind in my hair... The following day I found the place I'd been looking for. You walk through the city centre, down toward the river Segura, than you continue walking on the path that goes right next to the river. Every step takes you closer to the trees, closer to grass, and further away from the sounds of the city. I took out my earphones, and let the wind sweep out the noises of everyday life... It was amazing. The path took me past a meadow full of tiny white flower which gave out the most exquisite scent. It was so gentile and fresh, I could literally taste it. I spent quite a lot of time walking among these tiny flowers, letting my senses enjoy everything these white blossoms had to offer.

This was also the last school week before the Easter holidays. So of course, this also meant that all the children in school were asked to participate in the Annual Easter Egg Competition. And what a competition it was. They used their imagination and made the funkiest Easter Eggs ever.
 Now, try to imagine how difficult it must have been for the jury to pick the winners...  Seeing as I was one of the jurors, it’ll probably be easier to just tell you. :) IT WAS INDESCRIBABLY DIFFICULT! Should Shark be the winner? How about Sponge Bob? Or, perhaps the Two Pigs? Or, better yet The Totem? There were just too many. However, there had to be a winner. And to make things easier for us, we decided that each class should have one winner. Don’t think we took the easy way out! The fact is, picking just one would have been utterly unfair. Don’t you think so? ;)



Now, I must go and pack my suitcase... I’m going home to see my little munchking Luka! I CAN’T WAIT. :D

P.S.: I forgot to tell you that the orange trees began to bloom. The smell and look like yasmin. If's funny but I half expected them to smell like oranges. Silly, I know. :D
