Just a quick update before lunch: I had a lovely weekend hanging out with Ms. Hannah Michelotti, who is working as an au pair in Belgium. I went to visit her in October, and she returned the favor by coming to Spain! On Saturday morning, we went to the market in Santanyí, where we got veggie goodies to make pasta, and Hannah bought herself a scarf.
We hit the beach in the afternoon, which was fabulous. It was sunny and warm, and we had the entire beach to ourselves. Cala d'Or looked like a ghost town! In comparison to my first week of being there (see tourist heaven) it really was heavenly. Well, at least the empty-beach part. The empty town was a little weird. When we got back to the apartment, we drank Spanish wine, watched episodes of Modern Family (a very funny show that Hannah has just introduced me to) and cooked up our pasta delight.
On Sunday, Sofia (my roommate) invited the neighbors over for a late breakfast. Sofia made homemade crepes, and we happily gorged ourselves. The neighbor is due to have a baby in early December, and it was the first time I'd really gotten to talk to her and her husband. Their 4-year-old son, Sebastià, ran around the house the entire time, excited to have new people to show off to. He was so cute! It was a nice, relaxing breakfast, and when they left two hours later, the neighbor promised to make his famous paella and invite us over another time.
In the early afternoon, I saw Hannah off with specific instructions on how to get to the airport. It's always strange to wave goodbye; it was a lovely weekend with lovely people!
Sounds like a good time :)
