Friday evening, together with American friends, Jen and Joe, Ulrike and Carme (German and Spanish Ilex), I went to a Mexican restaurant in Andover. We celebrated the end of Carme's program as she was going back home on Monday. I ate 'Taco Lobster', it was a big but really taste plate. http://casablancamexican.com... read more

I bought candy at the Candy House: gummy lobster, gummy swedish fish ;-) At the end we saw a nice firework on the beach.... read more

Getting up, breakfast, talking to my sister and niece thru skype and then with my parents. I wanted to leave early to be on time at my work for the first day, but when my car didn't want to start. The battery was totally empty. I called everybody but they were busy and couldn't help me quick. Finally I got the phone number of AAA (triple A), it's kind like our Touring, and I could register by phone. They could help me, but I'd to call my work to tell them I would be later. Work was ok. There are 4 children with autism and other behaviors problems and it will be a real challenge. Tomorrow another day at work.... read more

It was interesting to have the explanation about CPR and first aid in English. Now I know the terms if I have to use them. We also did some shopping. I bought two nice pants. I also fixed up my sunglasses because I only had one branche left. After this long day, I did some food shopping to make a good meal. I went to the wine store, here we can't find wine in the grocery, and bought two bottles. Wine is here pretty expensive, so it's only for special days. Tomorrow first day at work...... read more

Today Carme (other Ilex-fellow from Spain), Jen (American that we've met here) and I went hiking for an hour. After that we went to the Basket Market to do some shopping for the lunch. We ate a very nice dinner that Jen cooked for us. In the afternoon we went shopping at the Mall (it's a shopping center) in Rockingham. I bougt my cellphone so I can reach people in USA. It's was a whole thing to look at. What's the best 'no contract' service we can get with the need we have? I choose to have one only to call and text in the USA because I can also use skype and msn. But you can call me from Europe but that's not so interesting. Just give me a ring thru skype ;-) After that ... read more
