hi everybody!!! i´m finally in spain. first of all i don´t know how to write capital letter of this keyboard so i apologize in advace. i came here yesterday afternoon on june 21st. i love the family! the mom´s name is rocio, the dad´s name is angel and they have a ten year old daughter named angela. i hang out with her most of the day she is very smart. i bought us both notebooks and we each started keeping track of the new words we are learning everyday her english and me spanish. it´s really fun being able to teach someone a skill and she is teaching me a lot as well. the mom and dad go to work early in the morning. today i ate breakfast today with angela. i was still jetlagged and i work up at 5am. i read about 100 pages of my book and i waited for her to wake up at 9:30am. after breakfast we went for a walk to the store where i got soymilk. i have to confess i couldn´t stay a vegetarian. when i got here for lunch they had simply salad and a thick piece of ham. i decided it´s not worth it to starve myself or to offend the mom´s cooking so i didn´t tell them i was a vegetarian. so i guess i am a meat eater again at least for the time being. hey at least i can eat shoarma when i go to israel. later on today we will go to the pool. it´s really nice they have a pool in the apartment complex. later we will eat lunch, then take a walk to the park, read some english and practice some speaking then her mom comes hoem at 2pm. btw inbal thanks for the idea to bring children´s book in english it´s a great way to bond with her. the family gave me my own room, which is small but very cozy. it used to be thier library so i have a lot of books in spanish to read. the family doesn´t watch tv much so instead i read a lot which is probably better anyway. the sun comes up at 7am and doesn´t go down till a little past 10pm. well that´s it for now. no time, going with angela to the pool. so until september i am with angela during the mornings until 2pm when her mom comes and i have the afternoons to myself. then from september onwards i will have the day free and watch her when she comes back from school. i might take some courses in septeptember in spanish in madrid. also in august the family has a house near the beach and we are going there for 15 days, so excited! everything is going well and i´m very happy with the family, so far they seem really nice, and i´m learning tons of new spanish. again if you know of anywhere fun i should visit while i´m in spain let me know, and leave me comments what is going on, and updated on your lives,
hasta luego ;)
