Hola a todos! Good news! I finally have some pics., but I don't like the way this blog uploads them, so I am going to post a link at the end of my posts for the website that I am posting them on. Anyways yesterday was a great day! My roommate and I went for a walk down by the river just outside the city. It was gorgeous and thats what my pics are of. We walked for a while! We then came to this ermita which is a small church with a cave in it which is guess is the ermita (which i think is where a hermit lives, how perfect for me right Kris?). Anyways the scenery is great! Afterwards I met the other teaching assistants for the first time for coffee, which turned into coffee a few beers and some tapas (pickles, anchovies and olives :/ jamon, and french fries). They all seem really great and seem to be enjoying the school and their work. They also said they would help me find some students to tutor on the side!
Today I walked along with one of the other assistants, Marilyn and her two children to school this morning. Afterwards she helped me set up a bank account, and get some paperwork for my Spanish ID. Then we had breakfast, which was tostado (thick bread grilled with butter on both sides served with peach marmalade, cafe con leche (espresso with steamed milk) and a glass of orange juice (squeezed right in front of me) all for under 3 Euro! Then it was off to the butcher, bread shop and then the market where I got some clementines (which are still great here mom!).
Tomorrow is my first day at work! So I will post again soon to let you know how that went!
On a side note, I am very very disappointed in this years Superbowl!!!
