If “work hard; rest hard” isn’t already a slogan for some company, it should be. It was certainly the slogan of our in-service week for teachers at school. For two days, we pressed through meetings, cleaning, and other end-of-year tasks knowing that the we would be at the beach soon.

The hard work was worth it. On Wednesday, we carpooled to Calpe, a tourist town on the Mediterranean Sea.  I enjoyed delicious food, lazy hours on the beach, and a strenuous hike up a picturesque rock.  Most of all, I loved making more memories with my sweet coworkers.
