So we worked for two days (Wed. and Thurs.) and now we have a four day weekend because Friday is an Almerían holiday and Monday is a Aguadulce holiday, lol. Man, it's rough here.
The internet guys are coming Monday to install stuff so I'm hopeful to be linked at home to Skype with all you Americans.
My students are really cute. I have 3rd to 6th graders. When I introduce myself all in English some of them are really lost, and then they hear a phrase they know and perk up. For example, I ask, "How are you?" and all of them in unison respond with little British accents, "Fine, thanks, and you?" They all are very excited to speak with me and ask me questions but they have just finished units on different things and end up using odd vocabulary, like, "Do you like tomatoes?" and I can't help but giggle.
Speaking of tomatoes, you all (should) know that I don't like to eat the raw ones. But yesterday the teachers from my school and from Greg's school took us out to eat some tapas and drink some beers after school and I tried these tomatoes called "tomates raf" which are only grown here in Almería and are freaking delicious. They are served sliced in quarters and drizzled with olive oil, garlic, and sea salt. I'm drooling thinking about them. I'm unsure what makes them so special; maybe they are grown in a vat of liquid addictive delicious. Today I immediately bought a kilo and will eat some right now.
There's more pictures online and a video of Granada (La Alhambra). Go see.

The children sound adorable. Did you get my poems? I saw a daisy yesterday (yes, in October!) and thought of you. Take care love.
