Weather maps are beautiful!

Every other morning we wake up and turn on the news to look at the weather forecast. Every morning, or about every morning, it shows rain in almost all of Spain. All of Spain except for Almeria :) I love to look at weather maps!
The wind has been a bit more ferocious lately but I love the wind and especially a beach wind so it hasn't become too much of a hazard yet. Things are starting to close down in our little beach town as the winter begins. It should all open back up in March or April when Northern Europeans start to venture down here again. But I think the places we go the most will be staying open all throughout the year!
Last week I went to Bingo for the first time and sat with an incredibly nice British couple!! I could hardly understand Charley with his thick English accent which was odd to me because that is usually how I feel when I talk to Spaniards! Bingo was great though and that will definitely be a regular Tuesday night outing for me!
Halloween is this Friday but I do not think I am going to get to celebrate it :( This is seriously one of my favorite holidays because I LOVE getting into a costume! Who knows I might find something super cheap so I can wear it to school on Thursay and give some candy to all the little kiddies :) This coming Saturday is going to be an adventure! I signed up to go on an Evangelizing project (?) with the church I have been attending. I have absolutely no idea what is going to take place other than I need to bring 2 meals and there will be a Gospel choir. So we´ll see what happens!
It has been an awesome week this past week getting to spend time with the Word and I am loving Donald Miller´s "Searching for God Knows What" - it is a fantastic book! YL application is almost finished and can´t wait to see what happens with that!
My roomies and I have Lost - Season 1 on dvd so we have started watching those and since season 5 doesn´t premiere until Feb 2009, I think I am going to attempt to watch every season again because I know I have forgotten many things.
We had a little outing last Thursday night with some of the teachers from my school! We went to a Tapas bar in the nearby town, Aguadulce, and were there for about 3ish hours. It was such good ham (Spain is very passionate about their ham) and there were legs of ham hanging all around the bar! When we left, I thought we were heading home but instead we ended up at a discotech until 3:30 am. I think that is the latest I have been up since being here and it was a Thursday night! These teachers had to get up and be at school at 9 - I don´t know how they did it! Apparently the norm is being out til 6 or 7 am though, having a coffee, and heading to school til 2 then napping! Crazy time schedule but I guess that is why the siesta is so important here!
In school news, I am now working one day a week at the instituto (secondary school) and only 3 days at my colegio (primary school) which will be interesting! I am excited to see what the older kids are learning here! Well that is the latest from Spain! Hasta luego!
