New Apartment!

Haven't had much time or internet to write but I've got some down time now...

Just moved into our piso, I'm living with a Canadian girl Sara who I met at orientation. We have 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms kitchen and a "salon" (pictures to come at some point). Currently we can still internet from the third bedroom...not a bad set up at all.

Also, I officially have a NIE- foreign national number kinda thing and am getting the equivalent of a green card, making me legal in Spain. Thus I opened a bank account with BBVA and now have a cell phone with through Vodafone.

Also funny to note, when we arrived in Mérida we came by train and stayed at a hostal for one night. Rather then spending all that money on a less then nice establishment, we called up our teachers at ended up staying with them till we moved into our APT.

My spanish teach's place was super nice...4th floor with an upstairs enclosed room and terrace. She had a little girl who was 3 years old...super cute but a little princess for sure. It was nice to be fed breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday and not have to really do a thing. However, I am glad to now be "on my own" to go about my day.

For dinner last night we had cheese and jamon on a baguette, toasted in the oven. Simple but delish.

I'll be sure to write more later!
