Dad,

I absolutely love hearing from you! Umm ok today was an interesting day because I had to walk to class on my own at 9 am. I did a great job at not getting lost. But after my first class this morning I had to search for a bank and change my money. I am so glad I don´t have a problem talking Spanish to people because getting directions and help would be so difficult!

Are you ready to be jealous? Well, I have the same classes everyday I start at 9 have a break from 10_11 then have my other 3 classes from 11_2 and then I am done for the day. In the afternoons from 2_5 is siesta and lunch time. So I eat lunch then nap for 2 hours. Also school is only Monday through Thursday so we have three day weekends every week for us to travel and see the sights of the town.

My senora (mom away from home) is extremely nice and talks only spanish to us so we are forced to speak Spanish and that is AWESOME! She is really easy going and very helpful. Also my senor (or the dad) is really excited all the time and works only a little bit as he is always home for siesta time and meals. He is a HUGE Sevilla Soccer team fan. there are two professional soccer teams in Sevilla: Beatis and Real he is really antiBeatis and pro Real. It is fun to watch him watch the soccer games. I will be attending one of these games soon as a couple of the guys here are obsessed with soccer and attending one of the Real games. I´ll take some pictures for you.

Last night we found a flamenco bar and were watching a little bit of flamenco. There was a man that played a guitar, one that sang, a lady that clapped extremely loudly, and a man and woman that danced. It was pretty neat and I am going to have to find it again.

So did you give the gift to Isaiah?
Ok on with me I get up at 7:45 in the morning and shower and eat. Am at School from 9-2 I go home to eat dinner at 2-5 about and then go out around the town from 2-8:45 and am at home for dinner at 9-10:30 and am out again until about 11:30 or 12:00.

So as for you to call me how about you let me know if there is a good time for you because it is going to have to be in the morning for you. So here are the times that are good and let me know in advanced so I can wait by the phone for your call. From my calculations it is good for you to call me at 8am Wyoming time which will be 4pm Sevilla time. Or maybe 12 for you and 8pm for me. We can do that tomorrow if that is convenient for you just let me know! Tomorrow for me is Wednesday, Sept 27th. Right now it is 3am for you and 11am for me so I will be checking my e-mail again this afternoon around 2 but that is 6 your time so I will try to check it again tomorrow and see what you have to say!

I am sorry this is so long I guess I got a little excited.

I love you,

Lauren


Dave's reply the same day.

Lauren,

I think I will call you at 7:00 a.m. on Wednesday morning which is 3:00 p.m. in Spain. This will give me an hour to talk so I can get to work by 8:30 a.m. This is during your usual nap time but I think it will work out the best. I’m looking forward to talking to you over the phone although I have told you almost everything through my e-mail letters to you.

I took Classie to the Vet today for his leg. He thought that Classie should have penicilliun shot every 48 hours for the next ten days and he showed me how to bandage his wound for 5 days so I don’t have to doctor him twice a day any more. He was concerned about proud flesh developing in the wound. He wants me to keep using the same salve (medical dressing) on the wound.

I still can’t get Federal Express to leave Kayli’s new computer at the house. They need signature of someone over 21 or they want your mother to pick it up at the office in Rock Springs between 4:4 and 5:00p.m.because her name is on the package. I told them that she is in Spain and won’t return until next Monday and that I can’t take a day of work to wait for them to deliver the computer. Kayli is getting frustrated and I told her that she can come spend the day at home waiting for the delivery of it which she might do.

Adar is very happy with your bed. I don’t think she will give it back when you come home. I guess mom and I will have to do something about that before next summer.

Well I better get home to bed so I can get up early to talk to you.

Love

Dad
