Clase de español

Hola a todos, ya veo vuestro interés por mi idioma, lo cual me alegra porque a mi no me gusta hablar en inglés, así que voy a ayudaros un poco.

En primer lugar, a las chicas españolas no nos enloquece que el chico que tenemos delante al hablar se parezca a JACKIE CHAN. Por ello recomiendo al CONQUISTADOR, en el caso que quiera casarse con una española, que continue con sus estudios y que cuando hable ponga sus manos en los bolsillos, ES LO MEJOR......... ya conoci a un guiri que en lugar de hablar solia hacer baile interpretativo, aunque nunca se sabe.... el tuvo exito.

A vosotras chicas, deciros que en españa los hombres tambien son malos, bueno yo diría que son aun peor que en EEUU, aqui esta especie no evolucionó, aun tenemos entre nosotras al HOMO SAPIENS, algo parecido a Fred Flinstone ( Pedro Picapiedra)

chicas luego continuo ahora tenemos visita, es el HOMO ERECTUS......
LOLA

enjoying nice weather

mom so the book is really cool. i think you´re going to like it. it has these overlay things on lots of the pictures that show how the city originally looked then you flip the page and it has pictures of the ruins. very cool. and i´m jealous of the rain but i will say that it has been unusually cool here which makes me really happy. last night i went with lola and her english class friends to eat and i was cold. yes cold.
oh and hi there garrett... i´m so glad you have finely found my blog page. and thanks for the peanut butter tip. very useful. well, will write more later. love y´all, kate

very busy at work...

happy wednesday to everyone...
i´m currently working and yes being very productive. i have cut many articles out of local newspapers, organized them and am about to search for a cool folder in which to store them. hmmm. what else? oh jay, conquistador is actually how you spell conquistador in spanish. crazy how it looks just like english. just thought i´d help you out since you are permanently changing your name. (and if i misspell anything i have immunity to corrections because i´m in spain.. i love powers of immunity, especially when i make up all the rules.) as soon as i get home we are having an intervention for mandy and jay as well, because this relationship is definitely struggling and i just can´t handle the emotional distress.
a couple of days ago i went to the place where they had the world expo in seville in 1992. let´s just say amazing. the site is so huge and most of the pavillions are still in tact, now office bldgs or something of the sort. lola was explaining every detail to me and since i have a poor memory, i´m going to buy a book about it. well, that´s all i´ve got. hope you´re all super.

Hello again!!

ok so i have finally decided to post again. i was on a one week hiatus (spelling) at the beach. i am definitely somewhat darker and can now check several books of the list of ¨have to reads¨. this is terrific news, it means i haven´t completely wasted time. we just got back to sevilla today and i will be here for the next two weeks working for one of the coordinators of the texas tech center in spain. i´ll just be overseeing the building project... next picture... kate in hardhat. hehe. i will work from 12 until 3 everyday. pretty tough. if it makes all of you feel better, it´s still hot here and i´ll be walking to work (by choice), there´s a bus system but i prefer the exercise. and just so you all know, i have many many many pictures (none of which are posted) and lots of videos of my week at the beach. oh and i´ve been meaning to tell luke, anthony and graham that their videos have been a great hit with the spanish ladies. especially the video with luke introducing his friend antonio. gets a laugh everytime and everyone makes me play it over and over and over again. i´m not going to promise the pictures this week because i don´t want to be punished but i´ll do my best. well, i´ll do lots better at posting too because i´m back here with lots of free time to play on the computer. love you all, kate

Party in Sundown...

Jay just wanted to say that you are going to have to plan another trip to Texas in August so I can see you when I get home. We can have a party in Sundown, with hamburgers and homemade icecream and everyone´s invited. So figure out a date that you can come home and you can make me laugh all day long. We should run this idea by mom and dad and maybe by your bosses because I´m not sure how understanding they are about family get-togethers in August. Anyway, still reading lots here like a good student awaiting the very cool, although not-capable-to-buy-my-love, package from Mandy,)

Back in Sevilla where I can receive calls for FREE!!

Just a quick note to let you all know that I´m back in Sevilla finally. The trip on Tuesday took me 16 hours. I caught a flight early in the morning from Rome to Valencia. Then found the train station in Valencia and bought a ticket to Sevilla. I spent 8 hours on the train. Not quite the Ave that I´m used to (the fast train). In Sevilla it is HOT HOT HOT. I have decided to go with my housemom to the beach for the next two weeks because she lives there during the summer. Now it´s very understandable why. I´m going to work for one of the coordinators here at the very end of July but that´s about all I have planned so far. Traveling all around has left me tired and made me miss Spain. I hope that you are all doing well and enjoying the summer. Love and miss you all!

Update from Italy...Perugia

hello to all. sorry for the phone situation. we just realized last night that we could not receive calls in italy without putting more minutes on the phone and funny enough we have not been successful at adding those minutes as of yet. hopefully by this afternoon we will be able to talk.

perugia is wonderful. it is a beautiful place and the people are just wonderful. last night we had dinner at lorenzos house. it was very informal but so neat. his family has a beautiful home that looks out off a mountain over the city. the food was so good and the family was so nice. after dinner, the young people made our way to the plaza where we followed lorenzo down the street to reginas apartment. he called to her from the street and she came to the balcony. he serenaded her with an italian love song in the street while she cried happily from her balcony. it was just like the movies. lorenzo has done an amazing job making things as "texan" as possible. he wore a cowboy hat and a superman shirt while singing. he is so wonderful and after he finished singing she yelled "i love you regina" as loud as he could. it was so incredible. im sure we woke some people up seeing as how everyone sleeps with their windows open but i can not imagine they did not enjoy the moment.

we will be going to the wedding this afternoon at 5. there will be 13 countries represented at the wedding. it is just the greatest experience we have ever had. we cant wait to show you all the pictures and tell you more stories. lorenzo and reginas friends are just wonderful as well. most of them speak spanish so kate has made many new friends. i usually just smile and pretend like i know what they are saying. many of them speak english as well which is great for me. lorenzos friend, frederico, showed us around last night and it taking us to the good shops today. perugia is such an amazing place. sorry for the longevity but you know i could go on forever. we miss you all very much and im eager to get home and tell you all about this adventure. hope everyone is going well and happy 4th of july! (in 2 days)
