If Tom Hanks had landed on this island.... Well he probably would have stayed.

I went to the Isles Cies yesterday. They are a group of uninhabited islands and national park just off the coast of Vigo. I don't have words for the beauty so I'll just post some pictures.

I love Hipstomagic.

I haven't really gained all that weight in my mid-section, the wind just made me into a balloon.

After hiking, we went to the one restaurant on the island where we had lunch and then a cafe and as we found out it's custom to have an coffee liqueur shot after a cafe. I don't know if it's custom to finish several bottles but we did that too, then played some intense Foosball and took the last ferry back to the mainland waving goodbye to our new island friends. Although next weekend, they are having an end of season party and we may go back to do some snorkeling (with wetsuits of course) and enjoying of paradise.

In other news, everything is going wonderfully. I absolutely love my school where I will be teaching, I have a cute apartment with great roommates, enrolled in Spanish classes, threw away the nutella, joined a gym (with a pool!) and am making new friends everyday. The Galician people are so nice. If you ask someone directions, they'll just walk you there. Life is wonderful and I'm so happy I have this opportunity! xoxo.
