After getting plenty of sleep Saturday night Sunday arrived and the plan for the day was to meet up with the other people in the program and have an orientation of sorts with the program director. After breakfast Marga, Joan, and I set off for Girona where the meeting was to be held.
The meeting included the other eight participants in the program and the goal was to conduct an orientation of sorts. We went over the basic expectations for the program participants then the other host families arrived to greet the others. I had arrived a day early so of course I spent the previous night with my host family. The other participants were very interesting. Some were from the UK and some were from USA so it was good to hear some english for a change.
After the meeting we drove back to Malgrat then SIESTA. I was still feeling jetlagged and tired in general from all the goings on. Around 5oclock Ruben took me to explore the beach area and we walked down toward the beach clubs and restaurants. The beach looks amazing pretty much any time you step outside to look at it and today was no exception. We stopped at one beach club for a few cervezas and conversation. Ruben basically doesn't speak English so into the fire that is full conversation in Spanish I went. It wasn't so bad though although I do admit all the Spanish and Catalan can be quite overwhelming.

After the drinks we explored some of the other beach clubs that were still in restaurant mode and they all seemed like good spots to go on the weekends. We walked around until about 8oclock then went back to relax until dinner. So far Marga has been making some amazing dishes so I look foward to each meal.

I spent the night resting up for the first day of work and uploaded some pictures while I was at it. All in all it was a great weekend and first venture into life in Spain. I don't know what else to expect but I'll try to take it one day at a time.
