Last day in Spain

The meetings are officially over in Spain and I have one full day left to enjoy the tapas, vino, architecture, art, etc... however it is POURING rain!! Chilly and wet... not a great combination.

The purpose behind my coming to Spain was to attend the Open Course Ware Consortium meeting. I thoroughly enjoyed the meetings and found them extremely relevant to what I am working on in Kenya. I caught myself at one point realizing that I was talking about my project and the principles and values of Open Course Ware well into the night. When I told this to someone at the conference she said ¨"Well it looks like you have found your calling". Hmmm... I think I always wanted to my calling to something exotic and adventurous-like kayaking, or writing a book... not exactly educational technology. But in a way she was right- I was completely engaged for the 2 full days of meetings and perhaps this is what I am meant to do... hopefully in other capacities throughout my career but definitely something to think about.

Well I think I will go off in the rain and attempt to find indoor refuge!
