A small update!

A little update for you! Unfortunately there have not been waves here since last Sunday! Apparently when the seasons shift, the waves slow down... and then pick up again. Right now we are between Spring and Summer so things suck. Oh well, it is giving me a chance to get in shape which will make my surfing easier then the time comes!

Right now Victor is gone to his sailing competition, and Maria and Arancha have gone as well. It is just me and Jesus in the house (I smirk to myself whenever I write a sentence involving him lol!) so it is nice and quiet. Perhaps we are equally athletic, so we don`t see each other too much between our sports!

I have been faithful with my morning exercise and my evening stretching, so my body is feeling great. The sun here combined with the fact that I stopped picking at my skin leaves me with a perfect complexion, I am very happy. Today is the first day that I was able to get up with the sun. It has taken me almost 2 weeks to transform my lifestyle to where I can get up early and feel good! I changed everything at once - diet, exercise, activities, home... so it took me a while to also transfer my sleep schedule. I should be on this schedule for good now, since I feel so good in the mornings. Today was my best workout yet and I felt like I could run a marathon afterwards! And this was all before breakfast, hah! My life rocks.

Yesterday was my first trip into the city. On the ferry I met a really nice young Swedish couple, Henrik and Stella. Turns out they are actually here to go to the same surf school as me, I just haven`t been going because there has been no waves! We spent the day wandering around, doing some shopping. I bought the fattest book I could find for the least amount of money lol. I can`t workout all day so I need something to keep me entertained! Perhaps tonight I will meet up with the Swedish kids and we will make dinner together here in my kitchen. They are Vegetarian and staying in a hotel with no kitchen... so I asked Jesus if it would be okay if we made dinner here. They are having a hard time finding food since I dont think Spain has many vegetarians lol. Plus they dont speak Spanish so it is even more difficult for them! When I left them yesterday, they were going to order a Vegetarian pizza and Stella said to me with a smile "It should be interesting!" haha. I laughed and wished them luck!

I have updated my Santander photo album with my adventures and pictures of the scenery around where I live. If I haven`t shared my public gallery with you, comment here leaving your email address so that I can share my photos!

Hope everyone at home is well. I think time is going to fly by now that I am into a routine and I will be home before I know it!
