Chicago Now. Trying to live a bilingual/bicultural life with an ocean between my legs.

Madrid. Every time I come back, I find it prettier Madrid. Every time I come back, I find it prettier, busier, more welcoming. One of the things I hope to do some day is live there, in the capital of my country, where I truly feel home. The best part of the last two days? Seeing good friends, old and new. And watching two confident boys walk away from me to camp. 
🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
Madrid. Cada vez que vuelvo está más bonita, más llena de vida, más acogedora. Vivir en Madrid, donde me siento en casa, es una asignatura pendiente. Y encima en este viaje he podido ver a buenos amigos, algunos de hace muchos años, y otros nuevos, y ver a mis dos hijos mayores irse tranquilos a su campamento. Una escapada perfecta. #madrid #spain #españa #travel #longing #viajar
“Trains, trains, trains, I love trains”. That’s a quote from one of my kids’ favorite books. But I can make it my own, because I truly love trains. They are my favorite means of transportation. They don’t scare me, as planes do, and in a train I can read, write, think and let my imagination go. They are also a great way to see any country. Now, my kids seem to like them as much. And I hope that we have many trips ahead of us. 
🚂❤️🇪🇸
“Trenes, trenes, trenes, me encantan los trenes”. Es una cita de uno de los libros favoritos de mis hijos. Pero es casi mía, porque desde que tengo uso de razón, los trenes son mi medio de transporte favorito. A diferencia de los aviones, no me dan miedo. Y me permiten leer, escribir, pensar, y dejar volar la imaginación. Ahora a mis hijos también les encanta, así que esperemos que nos queden muchas aventuras juntos.

“Pueblo things”. My kids are very lucky to be “Pueblo things”. My kids are very lucky to be able to experience the best of living in a great city, and of spending time in a tiny village. This week harvesting is going strong, and there is no better entertainment for a toddler than tractors and combines. 
🌾🚜🇪🇸
Cosas de pueblo. Mis hijos tienen la gran suerte de poder experimentar la vida en una gran ciudad y en un pueblo pequeñito. Esta semana por aquí están cosechando el cereal a tope. Y no hay mejor entretenimiento para un niño pequeño que ver pasar tractores y cosechadoras. #pobes #cosecha #harvest #johndeere #tractor #nestinginchicago #summer #veranitoenespaña #toddler #felicidad @johndeere
London is more beautiful than ever. I hadn’t bee London is more beautiful than ever. I hadn’t been in this city that I love in ten years, and now I can’t wait to take the kids. It also felt friendlier than ever, maybe because we caught the Pride Parade and there were celebrations and music everywhere. Add to that meeting new work friends, Erasmus friends and childhood friends, and that makes for an absolutely perfect weekend. ❤️🇬🇧❤️
