Over and Out



My Spanish class ended Tuesday and I'm actually handling it better than I thought. I got my exam back and did very well on it. It also helps knowing I will see Elizabeth, Kindra, Roderick and Alex again.

Monday after class I spent the afternoon with Ralph since he was staying in Girona for the party that night. We talked a lot, he actually was quite opinionated and actually we got into debates a couple times but he had his moments when he was very funny and very nice. He told me all about his girlfriend, his parents, his life in Holland; it really was a nice afternoon.
After, we met Kindra later at her home, which is amazing, and stayed there until 7:30 when Joan joined us and we walked to meet Alex and Elizabeth at her flat.


This is Elizabeth and I with her fans from the funeral home in Illinois

We talked, laughed, Alex had a HUGE beer and then we left her flat to go to Plaza Independencia. We went to the Japanese Restaurant again and it was even better this time around. Kindra, who was already a bit drunk by that point, had three shots of Sake and didn't eat much so....

Around 10 we left and Ralph,Kindra, Joan and I went to Café Irelandes due to Kindra's insistence. She was hysterical and I really am so glad I met her. ANYWAY, 20 minutes later it we all realized we better get her home so we did. Her flat is so near the city center, so it was easy to do. We said goodbye and Joan, Ralph and I left. Ralph lives in the town before Lloret so we dropped him off with his host family and were home in bed by 12:30. Not to shabby.

The next day was the last day of class, Kindra didn't make it but she really didn't miss anything. After Joan and I had lunch, I met Kindra at the bus station and we went to the mall. It was a lot of fun to go shopping with a girlfriend instead of Joan, not that I don't love shopping with him, because I do, but having a girls opinion was so...refreshing. Kindra and I talked a lot, I felt comfortable enough with her to talk about my family and other things with her and she did the same. We took the bus back into town ( an air conditioned one. finally) and said our goodbyes. She is only going to Madrid in October so I have two solid months to visit. Elizabeth said she wanted to visit Lloret so one day I will plan something for her. As for Alex and Roderick, I hope they can make it as well, or to my birthday party in August.

Speaking of, I still have to plan that. I have it narrowed down to 4 restaurants and 5 potential places to go afterward. I will send the choices to Xevi once I have it down to 3 and 3. He said he didn't care at all but he knows the places better than I do. I just want to make it great incase we decide to do a joint party again, I want him to want to do that, I think it will actually be pretty great.

Today Joan had the day off so we slept in and then went to his parents pool for the afternoon. We even got a few errands done and cleaned his parents house for them. I hope it was a nice surprise for Maribel.


Hope everything is good where you are!
