Hola desde Huelva, España. I write to you on my palm pilot as I sit on the couch with Yolanda and her 15 year old Daughter Alba. Yolanda watches television Alba chats away on the computer.
Not much to report for today. After a long night of working on my Travelblog entries, I woke up at noon and worked on the computer for another hour before Yolanda and Javier woke up. I soon grew sleepy again and slept for another hour and a half before getting up for the day. Javier Yolanda and I walked into town and ate Tortilla (a Spanish potato omelet) for lunch before hitting the local Corte Ingles (the Spanish version of Target) for some beauty products for Yolanada. Javier left us half way through the shopping trip to head to a catering job for the evening and Yolanda and I finished shopping and headed home. On the way, I remembered I wanted to buy a sim card so I could have a cell phone, now that I am finally back in Spain. We ended up spending more than an hour visiting 4 different shops and asking many questions in a quest to find the best company for my needs. Keep in mind Yolanda speaks less english than I speak spanish so pratically all of my dealings were entirely in Spanish. Just as in the US, the cell phone sitch is "muy complicado" and I ended up abandoning the quest prefering to do my research on the internet in Eglish, just to make sure I understood everything. Cell phone mission abandoned, Yolanda and I headed home and sat around the kitchen table and had a long chat about relationships and life IN SPANISH (I was very proud of myself). Then we sat down to relax on the couch and Yolanda chatted on the computer while I took a siesta soon it was evening and Alba arrived. We have spent the evening sharing our favorite Youtube and Myspace videos and practicing our English (I have to admit I'm pretty good at this) because Alba is going to spend a term in England this summer and Yolanda wants her to practice and to be honest I want a siesta from Spanish. Which brings us no now on the couch. Its been a nice relaxing time here and its been good to see Yolanda and Javier again, but I think I have to break the news that I must leave soon, because I must be in Granada by the 28th and I still have yet to visit Cordoba.
