Happy Easter

This morning Joan and I went to church in Lloret. We missed the multi-lingual mass at 10:30 so we went to the one at 11. It was all in Catalan, but being Catholic, the Easter readings and the prayers in general have been engraved into my brain forever so I managed to follow along fairly easily. I took some pictures which I will have to add later. Joan's computer crashed and died this morning,luckily he had brought this laptop home (the one from work) so I will not go through withhdrawls from the internet. We just got home from lunch with his parents which is always fun and tomorrow we're having paella with his family which I am really looking forward to.

Also this morning, I recieved an email from my uncle concerning my bills...apparently the loans recieved notice that I am no longer enrolled at this time and so they want me to start paying, however I am entitled to 6 months before I have to start...I have about 3 left so why the rush?
Not to mention my phone bill (I definetly paid before leaving the states) they say I have to pay. I really despise being poor.

Joan and I have already bought our tickets to Paris and Portugal so we will just have to get by on less wine and maybe no dinner? It's sad but I did come here to save money and pay off the $2000 I owe my university. We decided if we live with just what we need, in two months we will be fine. He will be making over 1000 €uros a month and soon my work visa will go through and I will be able to bring in some money as well. With luck, my English classes will be popular and I can teach more than 1 person a week. He's decided to bartend on the weekends which is really good here since the tourists are all visiting Lloret now.
I am fairly confident we can get through this, I don't want to complain so I won't....I know how fortunate I am to be here.
Joan is now busy setting up our radio and hooking up the speakers he brought from his parents home to ours. I need to do some much needed cleaning. Tomorrow he is off work for Semana Santa so we want the day free to walk around Lloret and maybe come up with some plans for making some extra money.

Hope all is finacially stable in your neck of the woods

Ciao Bellas
