Hay mucho sol aqui!

Hello my friends! We've arrived in our sun-drenched locale, and I can tell you that while the land itself reminds me of our previous home, the weather is much more bearable. It's about 65 - 70, but no humidity which totally rocks!

I'm amazed at the similiarity between plant life between here and there. Oleander, St. Augustine grasses, palm trees, lantanas... plus what I think are eucalyptus trees (of some sort beacause they don't have the scent I'd expect), coniferous trees, and lots of flowering trees and bushes as well.

We visited a couple of towns on the Med last weekend. The gorgeous city of Marbella was our home for the weekend, and we had some nice diggs. Our room looked like the 5th photo, and we had a view of the pools and mountains. On our way, we saw the rock of Gibraltar, and lots of what I'd consider to be expectable Spainsh houses. David played some golf on what he considered to be the most well-kept, nicest course he's played on to date. I indulged in a little time in the spa there at the hotel, treating myself to a manicure and pedicure, while improving my espanol.

We are living in temporary housing right now, and won't be in our long term house until July. We have a townhome, and it's thinly but adequately furnished. We have to use the internet at the library, and we rely on our cell phones to call home right now, but eventually we'll have both at home. We'll have a gorgeous view of the water from our home, and while we can't directly access the water, it's about a five minute drive to the beach from it. I can't wait to spend some quality time with my Sohl-mate walking the weed-free beach! :)

I'm sure that there are a million other things I can tell you, and for now, I'll wait for you to ask what you'd like to. I'll have to wait a while to upload my pictures, so the photos I can scavenge online are what you get. I miss you, though, and anxiously await details from home!

Hugs!
