Learning the lingo...

Hola! Como estas?

Estoy muy bien y me encanta mucho cosas a Espana. (I'm very well, and I love many things about Spain).

I love that I can walk about a half a mile to get freshly made pan de molde (sliced sandwich bread) and pastries. My Spanish is improving daily, and I am encouraged that I can not only communicate with the Spanish, but that I can also understand most of their responses. I also love that it's sunny and warm here, and that we can sleep with our windows open and cool our house at night.

I love that since we've purchased a bike for our Sohl son, he's been able to ride it on the sidewalks of our mostly unpopulated current neighborhood. He's doing a great job, and inspite of several crashes that would splinter my bones, he's loving the freedom and decision making power.

We found out which house we'll be living in, and it has an amazing view of the blue-green waters of the bay of Cadiz (pronounced CAH-dith). We're learning this week about Spain, and that the idea of tomorrow means tomorrow, the next day, or possibly a week from then. And, tomorrow afternoon, then, means between noon and 22:00 (10pm) on the day that ends up being tomorrow. Simply said, life is much, much less stressful. They are so family-oriented here, and live life by enjoyment.

I'll try to update soon. In Spanish terms, I'll update manana (mahn-YAWN-ah). :)
