Vamos a la playa..

Aquí estamos!

On Monday afternoon we left Barcelona and made our way to Torredembarra, Tarragona. It wasn’t a particularly long drive but the scenery was beautiful. We arrived around 4 or 5, once the car was unloaded and I was shown around, the girls wanted to go the pool. It’s a nice pool and it was still really hot the whole time we were out there. The next day Nuria and Antonio left for work early. I wake up between 8 and 9 then wake the girls up around half 10 and our day begins. I quite enjoy having an hour or two to myself in the morning. I have breakfast and read or watch some telly. After breakfast we do an hour of English homework, then half an hour of maths. We go down to the pool, come back up around 2 for lunch then usually head down again around half 3. We stay there until 6 or 7 sometimes. It’s always really warm and the water isn’t cold either.

On Wednesday when Nuria got home we went to the beach. It’s just across the road. It’s a huge beach and we were there until about 8! It’s shocked me how warm and sunny it stays. No wonder Spanish people are so tanned, they can finish work then go to the beach for a few hours. That night we had mussels for tea. Antonio is making me try every fish going. Surprisingly, I quite liked them!

Yesterday was the same, all days are very similar here, fairly relaxing and quite tranquil (apart from having dominoes thrown at me during a tantrum - that was nice). I wish I brought more books with me though.

I imagine this weekend will be filled with trips to the beach to top up my nonexistent tan (I actually am getting a bit of colour) and maybe a walk round town.
