Tue, 17 Jun 2014 19:08:05 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.1.4 By: Jay Larbes http://www.pondjumpersspain.com/2010/07/05/goodbye-split-croatia/comment-page-1/#comment-2337 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:25:03 +0000 http://www.pondjumperscroatia.com/?p=591#comment-2337 Hi Morten,

Thanks for stopping by. The temperature here in Madrid is plenty warm 🙂 And I think you misspoke, I would play for 8 months, not 8 weeks — as long as it’s not raining! :). I do miss the football matches a great deal, I have not yet found a group to play with here yet. Hope everything is going well for you in Split!

I wish you all the best for your new adventure in Madrid

@Jay, I hope for you that temperature is bit higher Madrid, so you can play soccer more then the 8 weeks, which you defined as the season :). Anyway we will keep on playing so if you should visiting Split on a day with +30 degrees, you are welcome to join the game again!

Greetings, from Split

Morten

We’ll keep more coming from Madrid.

Jen I. – I hope you get the chance to make it to Croatia sometime while you are in Europe. EasyJet has cheap flights from London. You really would love it.

The only thing I will miss more is being able to experience some of those breath-taking seascapes and cultural events first hand with our own personal tour guides. Who knows, maybe that may happen some other time and place. Keep blogging and may your time in Madrid be just as memorable!
Love, Dad L.

Elisa – Gracias por sus palabras amables. Estoy practicando mi español mucho. Pienso que voy a mejorar un poquito cada día.

Mom and Dad – I hope you can come visit us in the coming months!

Jon – I already miss Hajduk ice cream. We got some ice cream here in Madrid last week, and it cost $3 for a smaller scoop! Jay thought it tasted just as good, but I sure didn’t.

Jenny – I miss you too. I’m glad you are enjoying the blog.

My wife introduced me to it when we were living there. You guys were so fortunate to live in Split, as I felt as well. I am going back for a visit on July 12-31 and will make sure to go to Galija for a pizza and Hajduk for dessert. I’ve connected to Kelly through Facebook and was lookng forward to meeting you guys…looks like I just missed you. Best of luck in Madrid!

Also, it is another place that mon amd I can visit. You and Jay are so lucky for experiencing such unique places and people at such a young age. Keep on writing about your experiences.

I could feel your sadness in the description of each thing, place, or person you will miss. As you move onto the next phase of your lives I am now getting to realize how much this adventure into Croatia and other countries are shaping you lives. You definitely have been very smart to experience the World while you are young and childless. The great thing is I was able to experience it with you at times which made it so much sweeter. I hope you can continue having great experiences the rest of your lives. Maybe I will be able to experience it with you at times some more.
