Just for the record... this be Greg.To your immediate right should be a picture of Neil, our roommate from Belgium / France / Morocco (I think) / half of Europe. Next to him is María, Neil´s friend from Madrid that showed us around for the 4 days we were there.
Suzy and I have countlessly toured our new town for the year and aside from the 10 minute walk to the Mediterranean beach, beautiful Miami-esque palm trees lining nearly every major street, gorgeous red, white, and purple flowered trees along the smaller streets, and having already found a piso for us all to call home for a bit, I think we might be able to make the best of this year. It will be tough and all, but we´ll bear through it all (btw, we´ll get pictures and hopefully a short video up for you all if it is possible shortly).
Actually, the first night we were here, I walked along the Mediterranean surf. The next morning, I got up and ran along the beach (btw, that crap is tough!) for a kilometer. Now I could lie and tell you that 1 kilometer is about 16 miles... which it totally is ::wink, wink:: Unfortunately for me, it was roughly a half mile but that is a lengthy half mile... up hill both ways... in the snow.. er, sand. And then I maintained my dignity (read manhood) by stealing the next car I found and driving it 500 kilometers an hour down the wrong way of a one way street blindfolded.
Yes, we found an apartment. It´s pretty sweet; it´s the one we found through Suzy (the landlord is a teacher at the same school Suzy is at) that´s über cheap. We are still working on these posts via internet cafés and the such but we contacted Telefónica (the AT&T of Spain) today and should have a land line (which we will post for those with long distance access) and internet ``within 15 to 20 days.´´
The days and nights have generally consisted of Suzy, Neil, and I wandering around the city to find the niché shops, our schools, etc. All of our schools are pretty close together and it sounds like they are fine with us tutoring students for a little extra scrilla. Muy bueno. Plus, Neil and I will take some sort of classes (mine being Spanish) so that will also be pretty sweet.
Any who, it´s always good to hear from everyone!
