Sundays are Fundays

Today was a really wonderful day. Joan and I were up early enough to give the piso a good clean and to go to mass at St.Feliu church. I understood only a bit as it was in Catalan but being a Catholic church, it translates. At 1:30 his parents and brother came from Lloret to see our place and then we went to a great place for lunch. The dishes were very catalan but delicious. I had a mousse of eggplant with four cheese sauce. I thought I would hate it but it was like nothing I've ever had-delicious. We had dessert, wine and lots of laughs. Joan's mom loved the area, the gardens and all the little shops. She plans to come again one Saturday so I can show her more of Girona as she is more familiar with Barcelona.

Sergi's birthday was yesterday so we had a mini celebration at our place after lunch. I loved that his parents came today, they were so excited to see our place and for us it was a nice change to lunch in lloret at the house. We had a feeling that his parents were very proud of us. We're living in the city, in a very modern,very posh area in a beautiful apartment, working hard and just doing well. We did work hard to get to this point. Anyone can see that we've come along way from last December when I arrived. With only 1000 euros in my account, we didn't have jobs or a place to stay and look at us now. In 10 months we'ce grown a lot.

Tomorrow will be a busy day as usual, I'm working and teaching three English classes. Tonight I want to relax with a glass of wine and watch a movie with my sweetie. It's going to be a long week.

Hope all is well where you are.

Ciao
