The Weekenders

Friday turned out to be really great, Nicole came to visit and we had a really great time. It was so nice to have one of my sorority sisters here and to just catch up about everything that had happened this last year. We went to Cala Banys (of course) lunch at Hotel Marisol where we met a Spanish waiter named Kilian, attacked by flies, walked along the beach, met Joan's mom, sat on my terrace and talked, went to an early dinner with Joan at this Italian place we found. Then it was time for her to go. I have to remember to write her and thank her again for coming to see me, she had a three hour travel to get here from where she was staying with her boyfriend so not exactly a quick trip.

It's about 10:30 a.m. here on Saturday morning and I'm still in my pajamas even though I know I have a lot of things to do. Joan is at work with his dad now and when he gets back we have to go to the city hall and register me as a member of this town! Pretty exciting. After that, it's off to the grocery store to pick up some food (since our fridge is practically empty) and at 2 Sergi is coming over for lunch. I'm making Mexican, his favorite.

Later tonight, Xevi, Albert and I are going to Girona to a Japanese Restaraunt. I checked it out last Thursday with Elizabeth so I could scope out the menu and the place so I would know what to expect and what to wear, also important. It's a really nice place and it's right on the river Onyar so I know we will have good views. After that we're going to a town, that I can't figure out how to spell, and meeting up with some of Joan's other friends. As always, I'll be sure to take photos.

Sunday is lunch with Joan's family and studying for my Spanish test that I have Monday. eek!

Hope all is well in the states.

This Girl Rocks My Spanish Socks

I love this girl!

If you see her on the street in Vegas give her a hug for me, and if you're a good-looking guy give her a big KISS and money for her to gamble with! She'll love you for it and so will I!

Thank you Heather for being a wonderful friend and keeping in touch with me so good like you always do!

Love and Miss you a ton!
