Ah the last few days have flown by. I've been doing a lot of wandering around, a lot of reading, a lot of studying, a lot of teaching and yes of course, a lot of sun bathing. I've lost my patience a bit with the little girls because their attention span lasts about 20 minutes with the whole English thing, and then they start jumping on the table and singing in spanish. So just a heads up Kels, i'll be skyping you soon to get some tips. I finally met the girl that's staying with the family friends, Lou. She's from england and is really sweet. We've only hung out once because we've both been really bust with the family, but hopefully we'll get a weekend soon to venture. My spanish is getting better. I've picked up a lot of first-time meeting conversational phrases so i'm not as awkward when I meet new people.
I saw Keira Knightly the other day! Who knew she lived here?? So crazy. Her nanny is good friends with Maria because their kids go to the same school. Apparently Ibiza is some private get away for a lot of celebrities, and the natives here are pretty hush-hush about it which i thought was cool.
The private-school systems here are awesome. I've never really looked into it but I really want to check out the International schools in America and see what they're like comparatively. All of these 6 year olds speaking three languages fluently really blows my mind. America is missing out on so much. Every time I get on a bus I play a game where I try and guess where people are from based on what they look like and what language they're speaking. English people are easy because they either have really bad teeth or are incredibly sunburned. Spanish people are hard because they all look so different and speak so fast. Carla came with me to town the other day and could pick out all the different dialects of spanish. There were some columbians, Portuguese and spanish people. She said portuguese people speak faster, which I don't understand because everyone here already speaks a mile a minute.
Yesterday I went to Eivissa and checked out this really eclectic jewlery spot Maria suggested I got to. Needless to say, I bought some special peeps jewlery I hope they cherish forever because this place was amazing. I'm not really sure what we're doing tomorrow. Don't really care either. Part of me misses being busy and having things to do.. and then I get to the beach and I'm like...wait no I don't.
Anyways here's a couple pictures from when me and Carla went to Eivissa. We walked around forever, went to a museum, ate some helado and enjoyed each others company. Enjoy!
A nice awkward pic of me at the art gallery, courtesy of Carla.
Pretty amazing painting
The port. The picture doesn't do the water justice. It really blueish/green and crystal clear.
My favorite spot, the roof. It's always shaded and cool up here. Perfect for reading and what not.
