So I must apologize...I didn't write anything yesterday...I know, I'm a bad person. It was kinda a long day at work...or at least I was kinda tired after. Regardless James and I headed over to the beach and played some frisbee and hung out which was good because otherwise I would have spent all day bummin around the apt. I also finally got in the cold water at the beach which wasn't that bad after a minute and it was nice to swim around after running around the beach playing frisbee.
After beach time I made it back home and had just enough time to take a much needed shower before the Frenchys came home. Camille's boyfriend...Fran...ok, not sure how to spell it but its pronounced Fan-swa (very french name). Anyway, he's a really cool guy as I think I've mentioned and he offered me a beer and we hung out and talked about Texas and France a bit and then the older guy, Alexander I think, made dinner which was like a really bad ass omelet. As I sat there eating and listening to their mostly French conversation I realized a big difference between the culture at home and the culture here...these people know how to relax. Somehow sitting out on the balcony and eating dinner and drinking wine is alot more relaxing than dropping yourself down in front of the tv. Anyway it was nice...even if I had no idea what the conversation was about.
Well I'm going to have to cut this short, I just got invited to head to the beach for some kite surfing 2.0 so I will be investigating that. But I am happy to hear that some people are actually reading and somewhat enjoying this so I will do my best to keep you all updated.
Adios amigos

Hi Barrett,
We're all here at Keith and Carla's house for Tuesday Night TAcos. Mallory showed us the blog sight and we feel the need to send you a message. So here goes...
Barrett, I loved reading your blog and hearing about all the fun times. What a great opportunity - to live in Spain!!!! Bien!! Mucho bien! We're saving the website address and we'll look you up and correspond back and forth. We just spoke to Todd on the phone - he says hi! I'll give him this website address and ya'll can visit. Well I guess I should let someone else write. Take care. Love, Karen
Hey Barrett!!! Saw the pics! Looks beautiful there. Am so jealous! Know you're having fun--and working hard. Spent many days listening to Keith complaining of the manual labor involved with that. It WILL get easier. :) Best of luck to you. Will enjoy reading your blog now that we have it saved to favorites.
Love,
Carla
I hope the loft has tables to save your knees. You know that if you get to good at making sails you will have 2 choices, come home and make sails or stay in Spain. STAY IN SPAIN.

Hey Boo!
Looks like a great place to be. Any cute chicks on the beach? Send pics, remember we made that deal. Have you been sailing yet? Hopefully you will bw able to get out and meet some locals, win a few races and become a Texas hero. That is what I am expecting, so don't let me down. Hey look for that chic who was on the bachelor, Anagasy, she was so hot. Keep in touch.
