Okay, Galicians, don’t judge me if the title isn’t perfect. Morriña: Galician sentiment of a longing for something lost.
One of the biggest blessings in Spain was mine and Katie’s adopted family while there. I will forever be indebted for their welcoming us into their family and group of friends. It’s interesting how much smell is a powerful memory trigger. I recently received a package from their house and the instant smell of their house made me miss them and Galicia so much.

And Katie, the perfect roomie/rover companion for the year:

Panxón. Some of the loveliest beaches.
