I now have Chinese takeout AND internet

    
.....I am proud to announce that I am posting this from my very own internet connection at my new Spanish apartment!  *cue orchestra crashing into celebratory tunes* *cue HUGE sigh of relief*

Looking for an apartment in Spain is, to be perfectly honest, about three levels of Spanish fluency above my own.  We are awfully lucky that we didn't end up accidentally telling someone that we would like to rent their one-bedroom spotted giraffe.

But, here we are! And I will come back tomorrow with some more stories, because boy, this has been an adventure so far.  But I know that what you really want to see right now are pictures anyway, so here are a few of the new 'hood.

All of these were taken within a five-minute walk of the new casa.

These are our new Roman ruins.  Lovely during the day - luminous and gorgeous when lit up at night.

Gardens

So dang European.

Tropical flowers left and right

First day at our beach

Heavenly

"Are you sure you want to come in? It's coooooold"

"BRRRRRR"

Back tomorrow!
