It's been a while

Dear family and friends in England, how are you all?

Here are some pics I took today on the beach. For those who don't know Barcelona, the funny looking building in the picture below that looks a little like the top of the Eiffel Tower is in fact a cable car which goes from the beach to a nice hill where there is a grand palace and wotnot. Lovely.

Finally feel like I'm settling in here. For the first time I'm learning the value of money and time. Time is money, baby. I broke the washing machine door handle off. All our clothes are stuck inside. On the brighter side, we found a really nice and cheap Greek restaurant close to our flat.

Work is interesting. I work many hours Monday to Thursday but I have a three day weekend which makes up for it.

My Spanish is coming on slowly but there's definitely progression being made and that's the important thing. I only really have the time and energy for one lesson a week. Nonetheless, Immy speaks in Spanish to me and so do the Mexicans (although I don't understand nada of what they say).

Haven't really been out much recently. Partly because it's autumn and everyone sneezes on eachother. I live above a salsa club but I haven't managed to go to it yet. I'm always asleep by the time it opens.

I've been to some other salsa clubs though and they're really good. Muchos amazing live bands playing which makes a change from England. All the clubs stay open until at least 4 or 5 in the morning and are packed the whole night. There's also this band that play on the beach. Today they were playing Cuban Rumba with congas and cowbells and the whole shebang.

See you soon
