Tenerife so far

Can't believe we have been here 10 days now, time is just flying. I have spent the day painting, tomorrow will probably be the same. Our first spanish lesson is Monday and we go and fficially become residents on Tuesday, hoe exciting. Ethan is debating going to Spanish School, so he can pick up Spanish quickly and have local friends. Over here he would be in top Primary so he would study in the same school as Natalia; Secondary only has 4 years. Took me a while to get my head round it but fair play if that's what he wants to do; it will save us a small fortune. He would eventually do the Bacalarite which is a universal qualification. I really never expected him to embrace the life here the way he has.

Over the past week we have been to the beach a couple of times and a friends pool, I have met my future employers which went well. There are silly things like marmite and a food processor I miss from England. We are still waiting for our shipping as well. Yet there are many things great about over here such as being able to sit outside most evneings and the fruit and veg has a fuller taste. I certainly don't miss driving, I think it would be traumatic driving through Los Cris but we can walk where we need to go and have a trend wheelly bag for shopping.
