Btw, I am going to go back through at some point and attach pictures that go with my posts, but I have the slowest computer in the world. So maybe someday you can actually get a better idea about what I describe in the posts.
Sunday morning I was getting up early to go sailing anyway, so I set it up to skype some of my friends at home. It was really weird for me to be just waking up, and it to be late night for them. For the next few weeks, we will only be six hours apart (until time changes in Europe!). I got completely ready, and then found out that we weren't going to be able to go out on the sailboat afterall, because it was too windy---bummer! I worked a bit on my cover letter (yes, it is that time again! job season for teachers) and then we all walked down to the harbor and looked at the boats. Which was pretty awesome for me, because now I have a new place to relax, look at the water, and possibly do my homework. The rest of the day was full of paella (yum!), watching the last Twilight movie in Espanol with the fam (snooze!), and then English lessons.
Monday- Back to class--it might be nerdy, but I'm glad! Today we learned about how to give/take directions, and how to describe el barrio (neighborhood). It was hard for me, because I don't live in a city, so I really had no equivalent to a "neighborhood". I just described Woodlawn or Cas Catala (my spanish neighborhood). After I got home from class, I ate a quick lunch, and then took a walk. I actually did not bring my camera, and I missed some great views of the ocean. I walked to Ses Illetes which is further West of where I live. This area has beaches and resorts galore. The coolest thing though is that due to it being off-season, the tourists aren't around, so it is peaceful. I walked around, layed on a beach chair overlooking the ocean (and didn't have to pay to sit in the chair!). It was very nice, but I have no picture evidence. I definitely plan to visit there again soon!
