The days here have been gorgeous! It is true...there is a lot of sun in Andalucia. Funny thing though, Spaniards love to have bottled water. In fact, that is about the only water they drink, and they look at you all crazy-like if you ask for it from the facet. This could prove to be difficult for us, because we could end up using our entire stipend to simply fill our bottles!
Yesterday was a really nice day. In the afternoon we went and walked over to Alcazar. It is near the cathedral, which we unfortunately weren't able to really see. But it was SOOO impressive. The tile work, and designs, and gardens, and architecture....WOW! It is truly breathtaking. We were fortunate enough to have a girl who helps our organization act as a tour-guide which was really informative. It was so beautiful and we were so happy to see it. Later that evening we went to a Flamenco show. It was so intense. It was definitely an experience, and kind of neat because the dancers actually ended up at the same bar as us afterwards. After some "vino tinto" and a good plate of paella we decided to call it a night. Tomorrow we head out for Jaen where we have a few days to find a place to live. Unfortunately, one of those days is on a Sunday, which in case you didn't know...is the Sabbath! Which means...nothing happens. School starts on Monday. Wish us luck!

Way to go Miss Jeanna. At least ONE of you can write. Of course, Eli's arm must be broken! lol
Today is Friday, and soon you will be in Jaen looking for that dream place to call home for the next several months. Good luck with that "stressful" search! I know Eli was concerned about it. It sounds like you are living the DREAM! Breathe it in and ENJOY. We love you. Hugs and Kisses, MOM and Rob - io ... and the circus
Thanks for posting pics on your slideshow. The buildings are certainly spectacular. The tiles are incredible. Rick Steves says they are fired 3 times. Once for tile itself, once for the color, and once for the glaze. Hmmm...reminds me of the pie mom made yesterday.
p.s. I do have a water purification system that I use on rafting trips. I could send it if you like. I would even spring for the postage penitence they charge when you pick it up. Love you guys! xxoo Dad
p.s. John and Jake discovered fishing this weekend.
We are all anxiously awaiting word about your experiences teaching in Jaen and your day-to-day grocery shopping, etc. Would love to see photos of your new apt. Hopefully, the bicycles are put together and you are riding/training again. Find a computer and update us, please. We love you guys.
Well it is the best sister in the world just wanted to let you know how much you are missed and that I hope you are having the best time. would really love to hear from you and I hope that eli is keeping all the mexican men of your little hot wife! I love you both
