Today was my first full day here in Spain, and I have to say, it was fantastic.
After breakfast Frank, Terah and I went exploring a little bit in the city. Torremolinos is beautiful.
La Villa de Isabel is on the top of a hill so it was quite a walk, but it felt good to get out and exercise. We walked down to the shops and through the tourist area, and then down to the beach, on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea. It is so gorgeous. I didn't bring my camera with me, so no pictures today, but soon.
On the way back we say a cat with three legs. It was missing one of its front legs. It didn't let me get too close though because it was a stray.
This afternoon Terah and I took our first siesta. It is quite a cultural thing over here. For a couple hours in the afternoon all the shops close down and everything for siesta. It was rather nice, actually. I think I will definitely enjoy that aspect of Spain very much.
When we woke up the next student of our little DTS had arrived - Sarah. She seems very nice and I am excited to get to know her better. We all played a game of 'golf' (the card game, not the sport) before getting ready for dinner.
Over dinner we all decided we should have a villa pet. This came about because as we were talking we discovered that one of the villa's staff, Soraya, has a degree as a vet. That turned the conversaion to animals, and thus our decision. My project will be, I think, to gain the trust of the three legged cat and lure back to the villa. =]
Frank, Terah and I wound down the evening by watching a few episodes of "The Big Bang Theory" (very funny show btw) and now I am writing this entry while getting ready to Skype with my beloved 'Rambo'.
That's all for today!
