We do what we do to get by and then we need a release.

These are a few of the photos I like from my recent trip to Spain.
The trip was interesting and I learned a lot, but it made me glad to go back home. There are plenty of nice things about Europe, but I never saw it as a place to live.
The entire place seemed like a work in progress at times. Although most of it was old and historic, the whole place seemed to be living in the past.
My favorite times were spent in Aranjuez, a small town outside of Madrid. I lived and worked in a community for people living with HIV/AIDS.
Being part of their community was what made the trip worth while. I wasn't there to look at them or take photos, I was there to be part of what they were part of.
