Spanish Lessons

I started my spanish lessons today at the Calahonda Language Center. The school is only a short drive down the coast and I was learning the alphabet today. They have supplied me with a workbook and CD so I have homework to do. I plan on taking a couple lessons a week until we go to Portugal. The pronunciations are already different than I thought, some things are hard to get out of a book. The lessons are going to be great!

I also had a golf lesson today with the Head Teaching professional at the local Miraflores Driving Range. He has been a golf coach in the UK for 20 years and moved to Spain to slow down a bit. However, he is very busy with lessons here already and it is only his first year. He is currently working with a young guy trying to qualify for the European tour. I think I can learn a lot from him and look forward to some good practice sessions.

The weather is cooler this week, I am wearing a couple layers now but no complaints. We got a little rain today and may get a thunderstorm tonight. The wind is picking up a lot tonight but this is the first time we have had normal fall weather so far, it has been unusually warm according to the locals. Now I have an excuse to go shopping, need more layers.
