Ok so finally I figured out how to get on the internet here. Today was a long one... it is exhauuuusting not being able to fully communicate with the little ones I am watching. I can't tell my usual jokes or persuade the minds of youths quite as powerfully as I normally can.

We went to Llarga beach all day today and went on a long walk down the water. Jordina (5) fell asleep while riding piggy back on my back and snoozed for another hour on her towel when we finally returned. I met Francesc's mother in Tarragona, saw the restaurant, and rode a bike they say they bought just for me. Tonight we made dinner and I babysat Victor (4) and Jordina while Eva and Francesc were working at the restaurant. Victor is in for a big surprise when his mother (Carlota) gives birth to twin boys (gemelos) in mid-August!

Senora Roca only speaks in Spanish to me, which is exactly what I need, but it's not by choice. She can't speak English at all.

The food is wonderful. I am jet-lagged. I will write again once I get the converter plug to actually charge my computer.

Ciao.
