Quiet nights and big plans...

Orgiva continues..

Monday November 14th at 5:45 pm...it feels like it´s been a long last week, but quiet too...not a ton to report, but I am excited to say that I have finished 5 books! Not what you tune in to read about that, but still excited that I have done something that I´ve wanted to do for a loooong time....

Shiloh and I finally made our way to the Mediterranean this past Saturday...we went to a small town called Nerja which I am sure is beautiful...but we beelined it down the street with a bit of direction, past the churros and chocolate to spend the large majority of time on the beach soaking up the view of the water...it was everything that I had imagined and wanted...I just wish I could wake up and see it everyday...but that´s not worth complaining about! We took a lot of pictures of the colourful wooden boats and the colonies of fat happy cats that lie in, on and around them...it was a bit of a paradise actually!

We have two weeks left in Órgiva and then we´re off to...??? Some friends from Canada are coming to visit, which will be great and I can´t wait...during December, the rough plan is to visit someone from Global TESOL College´s Portugal office, in Portugal...I am allowed to stay there for 4 days on one condition and that is that I help with the dishes..I might have to think twice about this...

At the beginning of December too, a few of us will be heading to Morocco...hopefully down to Marrakech...I have heard so much about travelling there especially as a woman and I will take the precautions that I should, but it really hasn´t deterred me from wanting to head down there at all...I´ll keep you posted, and especially you GTC so that you can pass on all kinds of info to the curious.

Also, for all of you that know from Krisna, a former Global girl too, I will be heading up to Barcelona next month to see her and her hubby Oscar...I will be so happy to see them in such a "happening" city!

Um, what else...well, laugh at us now! It is actually cold here...not -15 cold, but cold enough to snow in the mountains just up from us and to wear a scarf...apparently we were lucky to have the fine weather that we did until now...

So far, it hasn´t been a lot of crazy antics to report, however, with December approaching, I have a feeling with all the travelling planned, I´ll be spilling a bit more...

So take care, and if anyone is reading this, feel free to write back..you do have to get a password, but it´s easy and free...

Tuesday

sunny

Today is Tuesday and today will be quiet...just checking email and grocery shopping and feeding "our" dogs...we´ve adopted a colony of them here in Orgiva and it seems even set up a friend matching making system among the dogs...tommorrow, Shiloh and I are heading to Nerja, a town on the Mediterranean...we´re mucho excited about this as it will be the first time we´ve seen the Med...unless you count when our flight flew off course for reasons unknown and I glimpsed it between the mountains...probably just for the day as money is getting tight...we´ll see...I feel like that´s been my motto, the whole trip! I have no idea what we´ll do day in and day out...it takes a bit to get used to this very Spanish way of life...

I´ll add more later today, but right now, it´s wine time, banking and the feeding..

Adios!
