Nostálgica.
It is my last full day as a Gijón resident. It's grey cloud and drizzle, very Asturian, and I have a room to clean and a rucksack to pack. Obviously all those practical things will
be done later, hopefully before midnight, while I sit and breathe for a bit and get all nostalgic about leaving my Spanish home for this year.

93 (one more to go) blog posts, 2711 page-views (in case anyone was curious and worried they were the only viewer, at time of blog), 28 Spanish places visited (10 in Asturias), 10 regions seen through bus windows, about 6000 fotos (a conservative estimate), numerous mailed postcards, 8 flights in a year and one more tomorrow, an obese year abroad scrapbook (for the self-confessed hoarder in me who can't throw away ticket stubs) and a file full of beloved bureaucracy.
