Well, this week has been crazy.
Since arriving last Sunday eve', I've landed on my feet, running for my life! Although, having said this, I'm not complaining.
The apartment is a.m.a.z.i.n.g, the family are lovely, the kids are fun but a handful (especially yesterday when I just wanted to strangle them. Seriously, NEVER try teaching a 5 year old how to play Mario Kart! Just don't!)
So, what have I done?
Well:
-Seen a photo shoot outside Louis Vuitton (just around the corner!)
-Been for a birthday dinner at one of the richest, most influential men in Spain's flat (who also happens to be the mother's dad), and turn bright red whenever he asked me anything.
-Eat myself into oblivion with Magic Stars
-Go on not one, but two language exhanges, and have another with another person set up for today.
-Manage to buy a Spanish mobile phone
-Walked through the middle of an advert filming only to have angry camera men yelling.
-Got wiped out by a cold
And finally - read three books, but none of the ones that I need to have read.
So good times all round really.
Best bit: Playing a crazy ball game with Lucas, Mauro and Mauro's friend, where I ended up just having balls thrown at me. But it was funny all the same.
Worst bit: 'You never play with meeee!' Carmela, after I said I wanted to help Mauro with his homework, after spending an hour watching her play a Bratz game. Gr.
Fun fact: Did you know that Ana's dad (the influential guy) has met the King, Queen, Dali, Mandela...to name a few!! And has a couple of ORIGINAL Miro's haning on the wall, but told me that I was an artist after I drew his three grandchildren :
