We went to see the house again....here it is!

I feel really positive today as we not only got to go and see the house again with a view to looking at the kitchen bits and taking some pics for you guys, but I also gave my first English lesson here. Tow in fact! So we were sat outside with the owner of the camp site last night and her daughter offered to help me with my Spanish. I said that if she did I would help her with her English in return. This then lead to her brother wanting a lesson too and before I knew it I was giving them a full on lesson each. It was good to get going and I really enjoyed it. Any way we then went this evening to see the house and the landlord (who is an ex primary teacher here) said that his daughter works in a center providing child care in the village and there is a room there I could use to teach English. He said he had spoken to her and I could maybe use the room and teach the children or parents of the children. He said he will take me there and introduce me to her. It is really great news as he knows lots of people in the village and I think he will be a great help in getting a good reputation here.  I am trying to get the Spanish going as fast as I can, but it is not easy! So many verbs. It is really hard. I also talked to a friend here about an idea of mine about supplying kids clubs to the retreat centres around here (of which there are many!) I want to provide parents with a kids club type thing so that they can enjoy a retreat while still bringing their children. Not everyone has the choice to come away with out them. I have been given a contact for a retreat here so I will sell it to them first and see what they say. There is an intercambio session on a Tuesday that I have just found out about so we are going to go to that next week to meet some more people and practise my Spanish. So here are the pics of the house. 15 days and counting...this is what £397 a month gets you here...five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a pool, a massive plot of land, a massive activity/ party room, and a really nice kitchen and fire place in the front room. Erm...might stay for a while.
