The World Is Rich, and I Can't Imagine Not Knowing It - The Discoveries of a Teacher Abroad
Thursday, February 2, 2012
Ola,
So Brianne and I have landed in the land of tapas, after a very brief stay in the land of wooden shoes. Yesterday was rainy, but we made it out to the mercado for dinner fixings. We are staying in a converted mansion apartment with the most amazing garden. You can see Sa Grada Familia from our back yard. Only 90 steps up from the streets. We will be running up them in no time. Photos will come when the rain goes. We are waiting to see if we brought snow with us tomorrow. P.s here they don't have school when it rains.... Imagine that. Meeting Elisa our associate teacher tomorrow. Going to master that subway system like a boss. Something about walking to one train station to take it back into the city to transfer to another to go back north out of the city. We've got it covered. Had our first successful dinner out tonight. Although, the menu was in English, so not the largest of accomplishments. Putxet seems to be a pretty safe neighborhood. While keeping ones eyes open, I didn't feel unsafe at any point. And there were many People out walking. Brianne tried to use her travel hair dryer today... It got a little toasty so we may be looking for a local one.
While we were tired and went to bed at 10 pm local time last night, I was up at 4:30. After some needed conversation with Jason, I went back to bed at about 8:30. However, our plan to get up at 9:30 backfired with neither of us waking up till 3:00 pm and then again at 5:00 pm. . . . I guess we were tired? Well tonight will be low key. Try and actually sleep.
Talk soon.
