Here we are going into our 3rd week in Barcelona. Emre has been so very busy with work as he is nearing the end of his contract and is applying for numerous grants to be able to continue his research and on top of that doing work for Cyprus and for Barcelona Universities. But in the midst of it all he just found out that his work contract has been extended for 12-18 more months! This means he can continue to work for Cyprus University from Barcelona. So, as long as we can renew our visas and get the correct visas soon then we can stay! and if not, well, I'm still applying for jobs in California..so we'll see what happens.

I've been applying to the few english speaking jobs that are available but there aren't many. Before the summer is over we plan on taking a 2 week intensive spanish course and hopefully that'll help things. In the meantime I will be keeping very busy doing emarketing for a friend of mine from grad schools upcoming website 'Green Ventures Connect'. I'll be doing all marketing, blog writing, creating newsletters, soliciting for ads etc.. unpaid however until we start getting hits and money from ads..hopefully soooner than later!

Last night we went to a happy hour for the American Society of Barcelona, a big group of expats here, and we made some new friends, and after went to the top of a hotel nearby and had a glass of spanish champagne while listening to live music-a perfect night!

I've included some pics here of more of our wandering around the city lately, enjoy!

Love,

Carey and Emre
