Last Day at the Office

The month of July brought lots of exams to grade. Since I had 90 some odd students, you can imagine how much time it took to correct everything!

I was spending so much time at the office that it when I finally finished with everything, it was bittersweet to have to say goodbye to all of the friends that I had made in the department.

The first picture is of Prof. Gómez Lara and I. The second picture is of Ana Luisa Martín Bejarano, the administrative assistant in the department who was a God-send to me. She was always there to lend a helping hand – I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her!!!

Almuerzo sevillano

Our last month in Sevilla, some of the professors in the Departamento de filología inglesa y norteamericana went out to lunch together at Las Lapas.

And, yes, even though we all had to be back at work later on that afternoon, there were lots of cervezas and tintos to accompany our tapitas!

For me, the winning duo was the jamón serrano and a little tinto de naranja...
