Hey guys!
How are you? I hope that things are great in the good ol' US of A!
Things in Spain are awesome!
It has been non stop since I got here and Teresa and I are still getting into the swing of things. We had an interesting experience with the stove- I guess cooking will always be entertaining! We also started the washining machine- with out detergent! needless to say we wont do that again! Teresa lost her keys to her moto so she had to drive all around town- to the mechanic, to her Mom's house, and then back to where she was and they had them there! Its been a crazy week!
I went to a new musuem thats here in Granada and learned all about this region of the country- it was very cool!
We also went to a set of stairs that over looks the entire city and its covered with cool graffitti! If I could figure out how to post pictures you could see them! It was amazing and they paint new things every week!
We went to Malaga, about an hour and 20 mins away to pick up Damien, Teresa's boyfriend, at the airport and before we got him we went to IKEA to get a "few" things for the apartment, which turned into a bunch of things, but we had a blast! That night her brother and his girlfriend joined us for dinner and we all hung around, ate, and played the Beatles rock band version with the wii.....it was funny hearing them try to sing in English! Since my room over looks our terrace and the plaza below, we used the over sized window to create "Steph's BAH", Boston accent style! it was great!
Today was the day to celebrate the virgin Mary. They have processions with a statue of her, bands, food, and everyone from surrounding towns comes here to celebrate. BUT, it rained today, which is wierd for for Granada, so they didnt have it :(
We did go back to Malaga today though. Malaga is right on the coast and the beach is about 200 yards from the city. Its gorgeous. Teresa's aunt has an apartment there that she put up for sale and the guy renting is from England and doesnt speak English so I was the translator! After that got settled we walked around the city, went to the beach, even though it was drizzling, and then ate lunch at a Chinese restaurant!
I am going to school tomorrow to meet the director and hopefully get my schedule before I start on Thursday! I cant wait!
Well thats about all for now.....I hope that everyone was able to join this and can write back bc I cant wait to hear from you! Hopefully by next post Ill be able to add pictures!
Love and miss you tonsssss

The beginning
Hi guys!
How are you?! I hope that everything is great in the good ol' US of A!
Things here in Spain are wonderful! It has been crazy non-stop since I got here, but its been amazing.
Teresa and I are having our won adventures- problems with the stove while cooking, which can only lead to more disasters, and putting on the washing machine- w/out detergent!!!!
I went to a new musuem about this region of Spain which was amazing and I learned a lot. We also went to see this huge set of stairs covered in cool graffitti. They paint new things on it every week! I havent figured out how to put pictures up yet but when I do you can see it!
Teresa's brother, his girlfriend, and Teresa's boyfriend were here Friday night and we all had dinner together, hung out, and played with the wii. Since my room over looks our terrace and the plaza below, we made the window sill into "Steph's BAH" because of the Boston accent!
I am going to the school tomorrow to meet the director and hopefully get my schedule before I start on Thursday.
I still have to go to the police station to get my residency permit, but I have a Spanish bank account now and Ill get my ATM card Tuesday- thank god!
We went to Malaga, its about an hour and 20 mins away to get Damien, Teresa's boyfriend Friday, and we stopped into IKEA to pick up a few things and a few things turned into a bunch of things! but it was so fun! We went to Malaga again today with her aunt because she has an apartment there that she is putting up for rent. I got to be the translator because the guy renting is from England is doesnt speak Spanish! We walked around, saw the beach, and ate lunch at a Chinese restaurant before we came back.
It rained today, which is wierd weather for Granada- I hope that this isnt a habit! Today was the Dia de la Virgen, so there are supposed to be processions with the statue of Mary around the city, bands, food, rides, but since it was raining they didnt have it :(
Thats about all for now....I hope that everyone could get into this and can write back!
Cant wait to talk to all of you!
love and miss you tonsss
