Lara was upset because Cooper wouldn't answer her questions!!

Cooper hoping something would fall from the counter on Nuria's birthday . I'm sure he dreamt about the meat that night!

Why is it 85 degrees in October???

This guy's 4th birthday was October 1st. Happy birthday Cooper!!

Summer is going out with a bang. 87 degrees inside our apartment and 94 outside.

This evening is going to be my first time back on a tennis court in 5 weeks. I hope my ankle holds up!

Week 4 was more of the same, only difference was there were no visits to San Javier for concerts or plays. Last night we went and saw Nuria's cousin play again but this time they lost. Right after the game he took a private taxi to Madrid because he was selected to play on Spain's under 21 team and they have a game on Wednesday in Estonia.

P.S. I wrote this while on the beach!!

Week three was another good week. Two visits from the physical therapist and two visits to San Javier for a play and concert.  Only two more weeks left before work.

Week two at the beach went well until then end. One of Nuria's cousins from Argentina came so we spent the week with them going to different places and doing things. Had a good week of tennis as well. Nuria has greatly improved in two weeks and even beat the other person in our class who has been playing as long as I have. But, in the last 15 mins of our class on Friday, I sprained my ankle. No more tennis for me until my class starts in a month. Oh well, I get to relax for my last two weeks of vacay!

I'll post some pics later

Picked up my new passport today. Looking forward to where it allows me to explore next!! Only bad thing is I have a new number now that I should learn. It is going to be difficult to try and forget my old one.

First week at the beach has been a success.  Three tennis classes, saw a play and spent all morning today trimming the trees and cleaning. I like it here because it's the only time a get to do "yard work."

Our tickets from the weekend

Today is the first day of my five week break. We spent the weekend at the beach and saw some jazz on Friday and opera on Saturday.  It's good to have a friend who isn't charge of these events and invites you to see them!

Had a good time at the beach this weekend.  Found a new beach to go to, the weather was great and we did a lot of walking. About 12 miles in the three days we were there. I've been back on Murcia for five hours and I've already taken two showers. It's hot here.

Had a good run with this guy but his time, 10 years, has run out. We traveled to 8 different countries, 3 continents and 13 journeys across the Atlantic. Now I just have to wait for his successor to arrive in a couple months.

Yesterday we went to see Nuria's cousin playy futbol (soccer) against a team from Murcia. It was a tie, but they win because they beat them last week. Alex is the goalkeeper wearing all grey.
