I guess I have to appologize for not blogging in a really long time.... It isn't that I hve been too busy, it's the fact that I havn't really done much worth writing about.
Sanxenxo (for those wondering, there are multiple ways of pronouncing this but the easiest is san-shane-sho) went through a heat wave where it felt like a hot Albertan summer. I tried to spend as much time as possible. I spent lots of time reading on the beach and I am almost halfway through my spanish Harry Potter book! I am using the dictionary less and less but not necessarily because I know more of the words but because I hate looking up words in the dictionary.
Evan likes swimming in the ocean ocean and I will go halfway in but it takes a crazy hot day for me to go in farther than that. We found out that the ocean is 14 degrees. Brr!
The heat seems to make everything better! Surfing is so much more fun when whiping out doesn't feel like an icy punishment but a refreshing escape from the hot sun. I got attacked by my board a couple of weeks ago and got a little gash on my head. I didn't even know it was bleading i just though i bumped my head but then when i paddled over to the guys they started freaking out because I had blood running down my face. I guess head wounds blead a lot. Getting diluted by water probably didn't help how it looked eather.
A few weeks ago we went to a pretty cool festival. Do you guys remember me talking about the fort that we visited a long time ago? There are a few pictures on an earlier post. The town there is famous for being the first european town to hear about the new world. They have a festival every year comemorating that event. Young and old people dress up in mideval costumes and the town puts on a big re-enactment of Christopher Columbous's story on the beach. It is a huge deal with thousands of people who attend. The streets of the town are filled with the type of stalls you would see at a rennasaunce fair. And it all happens after dark. It was very fun and way more people than I expected.
Unfortunately the weather has got a little colder and I couldn't wear shorts and a T-shirt on my birthday like I had hoped (it would have been the first time ever) My birthday was really fun, we went to the Serrano's and had great food and went exploring some ruins by the river near their house.
At the moment it is 'Holy Week'. I can't say I am a huge fan of holy week. Grocery stores are closed so were are running out of food very quickly, plus there are throngs of people everywhere! Oh well, it will be over soon... I hope....
Take care all!
