Excerpt from unfinished novel/book

Chronicles of the Land of Vala: Half-Blood Hero

The story takes place in a land called Vala in which immortals have set them selves up as rulers and gods over the land forsaking the almighty creator.

These gods have overtaken the land and for thousands of years and built their empire on the backs of dutiful worshipers. Only one land was still governed by the free magics of the creator; the High Elf lands, an air borne forest with decedent palaces of marble and crystalline rivers and lakes.

While the long lived High Elves have remained loyal to their sovereignty they began to give refuge to the twin gods of love patron Immortals to the elves, Freyr who sired the Elves of the forest and Freya who birthed the Dark Elves of the mountains.

From this unholy union of gods and High Elves the all father god Odin over took the High Elf lands and made himself the patron of all of the land of Vala.

For the High Elves not all hope was lost, for even though they lived as slaves to the god Odin their Queen the last heir of the royal line survived and escaped to seek the stones of Ragnarok as a way to control the gods and reclaim her thrown.

In this scene we find that Anya is not going about her Queenly duties of restoring her former glory. Instead we find that she has instead taken to helping a human Knight gain glory to be recognized by his own royal father. Anya is traveling back to the bustling human controlled city of Kristok to meet with the Knight Gaiken only for him to meet her in the Neshlaim Plains. After a brief confrontation with the devious Imps of the plain the two have returned to the estate of Gaiken, a placed called Ydalir where they will discuss business.

Dynamics of the scene

· Anya and Gaiken speak briefly over dinner; this scene will show the two in relationship to the staff in Ydalir and in regards to one another.

· Anya and Gaiken retire to Gaiken’s study here the two will talk business.

· Gaiken considers his personal feelings towards Anya.

· Anya’s most recent plan is offered to Gaiken.

The Scene starts with Anya and Gaiken riding through the back gates of Ydalir. The gates are smaller stone gates with twisting iron bars and complex locks. The two ride down the path usually reserved for servants and the camera pans through the fruit trees and orchards of the estate until settle on the back door where the two dismount and the scene begins as an older woman opens the large ornate back doors.

Edith: “The Duke has returned with his prize.”

The woman walks down a few steps and bows gracefully to the two signifying she is a servant in the house.

Edith: “Lady Anya, how happy we are to have you at Ydalir again.”

Anya bows her head in a polite nod and gives a micro-smile to the servant woman.

Anya: “I thank you for your Hospitality Edith.”

Edith: “If there is anything we can get for you please do not hesitate to ask.”

Gaiken moves towards the two women who are now standing in the doorway, stomping the mud from his boots.

Gaiken: “I’m starting to understand how the pecking order has been formed around here, Lady Anya, You and then myself. Am I right Edith?”

The Knight chuckles good humouredly as he walks over the threshold pleased with the amount of mud he’s removed from his boots.

Edith smiles at the two and pats Gaiken on the shoulder.

Edith: “My lord Duke, you’ve always been last in line when it came to getting your way in this house, you’ve nothing to worry about.”

Edith chuckles along with Gaiken before ushering them out of the corridor and into the kitchens.

Edith: “Dinner is nearly on the table, so, hurry and clean your selves up.”

The scene changes to dinner that night. Anya and Gaiken have changed into more comfortable clothes and the setting is more relaxed, the two have finished the first course of the meal and are being served the second.

Gaiken: “Tell me lady Anya, where did you travel to this time?”

Anya: “I have gone to the Liniek River, to the city of Gjoll.” “There I have spoken to the human Von, he has told me of whispers of the creatures of Grimlash.”

A servant girl begins to serve the two a plate of sweet meats and vegetables.

Gaiken: “The traitors to the crown? What of these Grimlash?”

Gaiken looks troubled. The over all feeling of the mood is changed to a darker more sinister tone.

Anya: “Now is not the time to speak of such a dreadful people.”

Anya begins to cut her meat unaffected by the mood change; she has remained stoic the entire meal.

Gaiken: “And when shall be the time?”

Anya watches the servants leave making sure their out of earshot before speaking again.

Anya: When you retire for the evening, invite me to your library.”

Gaiken gives Anya a puzzled look wary of her mistrust in his staff.

The two have known each other long enough that he continues eating normally after a moment then continues with normal conversation.

The scene again changes to after dinner in Gaiken’s library. This setting is darker lit by the glowing fire and is accented by shades of deep amber and red. Anya is inspecting the antique books before they settle down to talking business. Her countenance is softer in private and her mannerisms are still just as regal as before.

Anya: “How old are these?”

Gaiken: “Close to eighty or so by now.”

Gaiken begins to tap down the tobacco in his pipe.

Gaiken: “Does that seem young to you Lady Elf?”

Anya is now in position under a painting of Gaiken’s mother, her pose is similar to that of the woman hanging on the wall and Gaiken gives her a compassionate look.

Anya: “They are not so terribly young, such works do not last long even among the elves.”

Anya takes the book she was inspecting from the shelf and walks towards Gaiken, taking a moment to inspect his affectionate gaze at her.

Gaiken opens his mouth to speak before Anya settles on a footstool before him but a maid comes in with a tray and two glasses of brandy interrupting his confession of feelings.

Anya stiffens, unsure of the other and waiting for the young maid to leave. When she does Anya opens the book to a map of the lands of Vala. She does not give time for Gaiken to finish his thought before she dives into the plan.

Anya: “Nishk Braisk. A struggling city of outcasts and plagued ones, home to the Grimlash, the vile group of betrayers.”

Gaiken nods waving one had as if to signal her to continue her thought.

Anya: “The son of King Geirrod has planned an attack against his father.” “Von of whom I spoke with has told me the prince who was banished to Nishk Braisk now seeks his fathers thrown.”

Anya reaches for her glass of brandy and takes a sip, studying the map a moment as she does so.

Anya: “On the night that the nine moons vanish from the sky he’ll make his attack.” “But he won’t be alone, for on the night of the eclipse the band of Nishk Braisk are allowed to leave their city, and as a hired band they follow the prince.”

Gaiken sighs. He exhales the smoke from his pipe and then looks down at the map.

Gaiken: “King Geirrod is the king of Barish Tar, being so far away from both cities I dare not think your suggesting we stop him.”

Anya nods.

Anya: “We are a days ride to Barish Tar, and we have the advantage of being along the only road from the way of Nishk Braisk.” “We can cut him off from this position and you will gain the glory of defeating the usurper in battle.”

Gaiken nods, and chews on the end of his pipe.

Gaiken: “And what of these hired hands you mentioned?”

Anya: “Von, of whom I spoke with, and myself will have elements to deal with these traitors.”

Gaiken looks resigned to Anya’s plan for glory and sighs giving her a look of devotion.

Gaiken: “Then I shall lead us to battle.”

I Have Not Seen Greater Faith

Matthew 8:10 When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!”

"People think we have such great faith going out and doing these things for God's kingdom and ministering to people, but really we can't do it with out their support. I think it's them who has the greater faith, because even though their not physically there, through every time they give their believing with us for what we're doing."

- Becky Miller

I just thought I'd post a little encouraging story about a little girl here in Mijas called Emma.

Emma and her family have dinner with us a lot, and Emma is a very cool girl.

Emma writes songs, very spiritual songs, Emma worships like an adult, if not more freely, Emma is also a giver, like no giver I've ever met.

The air port lost one of the girls in my house's bag a few weeks ago. She wears a size 3 or 4 in children's shoes. So you can imagine how hard it is for her to find shoes for herself in a foreign country.

I'm not sure if Emma bought the shoes or brought them but she gave the girl from my house a pair of shoes.

They didn't quite fit, but it's the thought that counts right?

I'm amazed at the faith Emma has to give things like this so freely.

I my self have always loved giving, but I want to be like Emma where I give out of an innocent heart always.

It's amazing what little things can do to bless some ones heart, and it's even more amazing how God can ues even a little girl like Emma.

My prayer is that the world can learn to give like Emma.

Another project from Class

God’s Revelation, God’s Vision, and Me

What is God’s Vision in my life?

To see Social Reform in Japan, and see their ‘cultural’ depression lifted.

Japan has been in an economic depression since the early 2000’s, many people have begun to believe that this is the cause for Japan’s rising suicide rate.

Statistics say that in Japan, since 2003, the rates of those who have killed them selves have become a major population deterrent.

Last year alone more than 100,000 men and women over the age of 60 killed them selves, like wise children 19 years of age and high school level suicide rates have jumped 25% and Middle School to primary School children leaped 60% more from their already record high level of 6^th in the world. (According to 2008 census.)

Pairing this fact with a 35 year declining birthrate from abortion as an acceptable form of birth control, sexually inactive married couples and a drop in fertility in women ages 25- 35 we can easily see that there is a problem.

Social science, economic stimulus and even political pleading has been in place since 1997 but still the number of Japanese citizens dwindle each year and now Japan is considered to be a waning nation.

Ever since I was twelve years old I have had a burden for the Japanese people, through years my fire may have been quieted from zealous studying to determined research of the problems and problem solvers in Japan, yet I continue to feel burdened for the waning culture. My dream is to complete the proper schooling as a Cultural Anthropologist; using this medium I can build a team of like-minded rock breakers to go into Japan and begin to uncover this spirit of social and cultural depression. As a Cultural Anthropologist I would have access to government information, government contacts, Psychologist research and other highly trained, highly qualified like-minded team members to help in this endeavor.

Now that we’ve heard the vision let’s talk some about the goals.

For this project I’ve been asked to set up three 3-week goals, three 3-month goals, and three 3-year goals.

Three-Week Goals:

· Begin courses in learning Japanese. (Retrieve Pimslur Japanese mp3’s from home)

· Research Work/School Visa’s for Japan.

· Research current ministries in Japan to partner with.

Three-Month Goals:

· Begin planning proposals for funding and support in this project.

· Learn at least 300 Japanese (useful to conversation) words

· Begin searching for supporters.

Three-Year Goals:

· Have Started Cultural Anthropology schooling. (Unless God otherwise leads for another route)

· Begin looking a place to live in Japan

· Have learned conversational Japanese and have learned to read enough to not get lost.

· To have contacts in Japan ready to start this ministry.

The heart and soul of every team, organization and even individual drives are Core Values.

For this project I’ll be listing several core values I will try to live my life by as well as measure my team by.

· A heart that listens for the direction of God.

· Integrity

· Excellence in ALL that we do.

· A servant’s heart for people, and a heart that wants to see lives changed.

In having a vision one needs to be able to communicate this vision to their supporters.

The old saying goes that money makes the world go around and God is able to provide people that want to give the revolutionary green.

In my life I’ve seen God supernaturally bring in money, and I’ve seen him honor those who gave supernaturally out of their limited funds. Seed, Time and Harvest are important keys to giving in God’s kingdom, and no one wants to sew (donate) their seed (Money) into questionable ground.

In Communicating with my supporters will be a large portion of getting this ministry started.

Media and spoken word will probably be the most effective ways of communication with supporters state side, and even in Europe and Asia.

I believe through positive media and testimony we can also achieve a good deal of support from Asia and Japan it self.

As well as donations I would like to create specialty products with a logo or picture about our cause. These products would not only fund this ministry but also raise awareness and be a form of communication themselves.

In my personal contacts as of this moment I would be able to print T-shirts, wristbands, hats, bags and order specialty made Capos (a musical device used to change the bridge on a guitar). Objects with our logo could be sold in stores in my state, and in music stores internationally.

Now that we’ve talked a little about the supporters and how to reach them, I should probably go into a little detail about them.

Supporters are not always those who fund this ministry. Some are financial, while others are prayer partners, accountability partners, people who offer guidance and those who are there for personal support.

Through media, positive actions and testimonies I hope to reach:

· Business owners who believe in my cause and are willing to help raise awareness and funds for this vision by hopefully offering products that the profits or a present of the profits will be donated to this social reformation.

· Local Churches that wish to support us through prayers, gifts and even manpower.

· Mentors and family who would like to be there for Personal Support, Guidance and again financial support if they are lead.

· A team who will serve with me and offer accountability to our mission statement, core values and choices.

Now that we’ve talked a little bit of whom the supporters are let’s talk about who the team will consist of.

Our cause will be a large one, and is a subject that as of late has become something of a cultural acceptance. For our team we will need people of influence as well as people in positions to reach the every day man and woman.

In my belief the people best suited for these jobs would be:

· Teachers in the local school systems

· People in government positions

· People who share this vision and are willing to hang in for the long haul.

· Ministers who are willing to disciple the people.

· Businessmen and women who are willing to support, and out reach using their influence over their work force (a large portion of the potential people who will commit suicide.)

While having a team and supporters are amazing with out a target audience there is no reason to walk around with such an entourage.

My target audience would be the Japanese. With a goal of social and cultural reformation like this one changes rarely take place over night. It will require constant communication through media, actions, spoken word and even just being there for a person who feels there is no hope left. Communicating with my target audience will be a challenge especially because Japan is so over stimulated by media, movies, music, and even just the advertisements as they walk down the street.

While I would hope to use some media in gaining support for our cause I feel that actions, personal interaction and positive works may speak louder than words.

Even with a game plan mostly set there are still some holes in my skill set.

Some of these holes include:

· Education, Seeing as I am very young it will be very hard for me to get a Japanese visa with out an education or with out being in an occupation for at least 10 years.

· For this the only way to for me to fill this gap will be for me to either work a job for 10 years or finish at least 4 years of schooling.

· Finances; as I’ve mentioned above, nothing in life is free. So it’s quite obvious that cash is going to be a bit of a gap in my skill set. Not just having it, but making it has never been my strong point either.

· Another ‘short coming’ I feel that I have is a boldness or natural talent for group speaking, or promotion.

To solve both of these problems I would hope to partner with business owners and fellow ministers that have been supporters in my ministry thus far. I feel that through learning to promote my cause and learn ways to create awareness I can better raise support and create a ‘campaign’ (so to speak) that could help further our cause and bring light to this bleak cause.

At A Loss

Today I feel in a productive mood. I feel that I need to get all of the jumbled up words in side of me out into a orderly blog. But when I sit down and put my fingers to the keys my mind enters a state of wordlessness that wont connect my brain to my fingers.

I suppose I want to write a bit about what I've been learning here in Spain, also I would like to write asking for support, and maybe even about my own personal feelings. Some how each subject either has more cons than pros, or it refuses to fill up more than a paragraph.

For what I'm learning in Spain, I'd love to write several blogs, but my thoughts must be ordered a bit more before I really write anything.

As for asking about support I simply ask that you give. The first of February and I simply can't do this on my own again. God wants to use the seed (money) that you (the supporter) has to grow something in my life so that you can reap a harvest.

I ask that we honor God's laws of Seed, Time, and Harvest as well as Honoring G42 and the land lord here in Spain by giving on time.

As for my personal feelings, well I really don't feel like every one needs to know about them. There personal. I really can't due anything to change the problem that is vexing me from the states, so I'll pray about it, talk with my 'Big Sister' Shanda and go on. Try to live with palms open giving my problems to God.

In my mind I still have a few choice 'un-christianly' words for the problem maker.

That's just a brief of what I'm feeling. Please continue to support me here in Spain. Expect some blogs on my vision for my future ministry and again on some about what I've been learning here.

In the words of Tiny Tim: "Living in the sun light loving in the moonlight having a wonderful time-".... (wrong Tiny Tim)(lame attempt at humor ignore)

"God bless us every one"

I've climbed the mountain and I looked around

Today, I climbed a mountain.

It was my first hike ever, and It was more than a mile up of strenuous rocky trail.

At first I wasn't planning on going, but I was talked into it by one of my house mates and well by God I was determined. (Not really, I just didn't wanna hang around the house by my self until they came back with their stories of how awesome it was.)

So at 2 o'clock this afternoon we set off, up the street across the road and to the quaint trail that was just a little bit hilly. This is nice, I kept thinking, day dreaming all the while of stories I could be writing when I got back down.

Half way to the first plateau I was knackered out. Tired as everything and wheezing for breath.

"How far is it?" I kept asking, by this time only thirty minutes had passed.

We continued our ascent up, up up, up, up and up some more, then after that we went up again, and then up once more just for good measure.

Less than a third of the way up I was having to forcibly move my legs to keep going.

It was a constant battle of wills, my bodies will to shut down and my own pride to keep me going to the top.

For the first time in my life I was having to really really really work for something.

Not that I hadn't really strove to do things before, but this was so draining and I wanted so badly to give up every step of the way, but I needed to get to the top, I had to.

So I went on, realizing this is the part that people leave out when they talk about 'valleys' and 'mountains' in their spiritual lives.

Most people just want to ride the gondola up to the top of the mountain from their toils in the valley, but it's only really worth seeing if you have to will your way up.

Tomorrow is going to hurt like nothing I've ever felt before, but I'm gonna move my legs forward again, fighting for every inch of ground I take, because I've taken the mountain, and even if I have to stubbornly move forward to get to where I'm going, I'm going to get there.

That's the lesson I really felt I learned from climbing the mountain today. Not that I was out of shape, which I learned that too, but that I have to really want something so badly I won't give up for it.

Span-Dangler and the Power Outage

Johnny Span-dangler

In a blink and an anticlimactic flash the power went out.

With cries of ‘oh no’ one of the boys (Chris) headed out in the street to check and see if the power was out all over the street or if it was just our house.

Here a short middle age man and his dog met him.

This man proceeded to talk to Chris in Spanish for five minutes, each time the conversation held even a fraction of a pause Chris tried to interject that he didn’t understand English still the man persisted. Thinking quickly Chris called Becky, our resident Spanish major. After less than a minute of conversation Becky realizes this man doesn’t understand much Spanish.

“Habla ingles?” Beck asks and the man pauses for less than a beat.

“Oy, Yes, my name is Johnny Span-dangler!”

By this point we’ve all crowded around the door.

“Where are you from?” Asked Shanda, another of my housemates.

“Northern England, Newcastle to be exact.” Mr. Span-dangler replied.

He went on to tell us about how the owner of our house also owns his, our next-door neighbors and two or three others up the street. He said that often the houses owned by the landlord often loose power for no reason and some one usually calls and they get the power fixed, not to worry.

“How long?” Becky asked, referring to the power.

Span-dangler didn’t miss a beat. “That’s a very personal question to be asking a man, now isn’t it?”

At this point we nearly died, do we laugh, was he serious?

While we fought to keep straight faces he continued. “I’ve been married three times, and each time it gets shorter.”

“I mean the power.” Beck said, trying her hardest not to laugh.

Well we finally figured out that power would be off for an hour or two and it was no need to worry, but through this conversation Mr. Span-dangler offered us wine and weed no fewer than three times.

He also mentioned he was a chef before he retired, cooking Indonesian and Thai food.

“When it gets warmer,” He said. “We have BBQs out on the room terrace, not the grill, high class such I mean, all international, we invite the whole neighbor hood, me and my wife do.”

“Really?” Chris said, humoring him a bit.

“Oh yeah, and your all invited, being new to the street and all, even the land lord will be there.”

And so it was settled we got to know our new neighbor and were invited over for a drink any time.

As soon as we shut the door we died laughing, we laughed, and laughed until our sides were sore.

When we finished laughing Becky went outside to make sure the power in our shared-power neighbors was on yet, a man came up and began chatting away with her.

“Oy.” He said with a wave of his hand. “Your power out too.”

“Yeah.” Becky replied standing in our door.

“Well if ya get cold feels free to pop ‘round to our door we got a nice fire going. You can have a glass of wine and all with us.”

“Thank you.” Becky and I said together in an appeasing tone.

For a moment this forty-something year old Englishman, who introduced himself as Glen, told us about how he used to be a policemen working in forensics and now he works as a ‘unofficial chauffeur’, ‘taxi driver’ and about anything ‘un-legal car related’ he could make some money off of.

Becky and I laughed.

“Do you know Johnny Span-dangler?” Becky asked.

“Oh yeah, I live with him, we’re good friends.”

Becky and I tried our hardest not to laugh.

“Well I’m off to go get some fire wood, see you in a bit”

A bit later we were all in the dining room laughing when we saw Glen walking back up the street with an entire wooden sign from the construction site at the bottom of our street as his fire wood.

So tonight was an interesting time of meeting our new neighbors and decided weather or not to attend Johnny’s BBQ in the summer.

For a chance at more laughs, I think the answer will most decidedly be yes. (Don’t worry family, all the guys are dying to go to.)

A project from class

What is the Origin of Evil and Did God Create it?

From what I have learned and prayed about I feel that nothing is out side of God, he is eternal and the creator of all things.

The Bible many times sites that he is the author and finisher, the beginning and the end, the creator of ALL things. Because we believe that God is the creator of all things we must accept that there are no strings attached to the word ALL.

In John 1:3 he states that "Through him all things were made; with out him nothing was made that has been made."

If we accept that is the ultimate force in t he universe then we must accept that nothing can rival him. In turn agreeing to that point means that 'evil' is not his arch rival like some comic book story.

In Colossians 1:17 it says that "He is before all things, and in him all things hold together."

THis must mean that all concepts are held together by God and are not an issue for him.

As for when evil was created it is a bit trickier, it could be said that it was when Lucifer fell, or when Adam and Eve first sinned.

FOr me it isn't in such 'time line perfect' categories.

I feel it may have been created when the fear of loosing the eternal became more important than the Eternal (God).

In Short if we believe that the bible is true, and that "God is before all things, and by him all things consist (There is no no angel, principality or power that exists with out him)" then we accept that there is no other logical explanation about the origin of Evil other than to say God Created it.

That also means that is has a purpose in Gods plan, to bring glory to his name (plan).

Say Amen and Make a Plan

God,

I thank you for your plan in my life. I thank you for the promises you've given me and I will seek your time frame for my life and I will not stray from it.

Give me strength to follow through with your promises and a heart to weight the direction your leading me in.

Amen

Dear friends, family and suppoters

I just wanted to let you all know I've been at the beach today, watching a baptism in the cold and the wind and the rain, we went into a pub for tea and then returned home.

.... I can see my breath as I sit in my room and write this.

I just felt you all should know this.

While I'm seeing signs and wonders, you have heat, and I'm not sure which one is better at this moment.... and that is sad.

Pray for supernatural warmth.

We're not called to be Cinderella

I guess this is just a quick blog to kind of remind my self where I am in the eyes of God.

Because I've always known God loves me, and that he's wooing me into his perfect love, but some times the focus is a little skewed.

For many of us we believe that we're all servants in the eyes of God, meek timid little girl who sings that one day her prince will come and deliver her from her life of cleaning up filth off of the floor. That before Jesus comes and sweeps us off our feet and takes us into his perfect place that we're just servants.

But thats' not true.

What I've come to believe in my walk with God is that we're called to be Sleeping Beauty. A firey princess with a big heart for adventure and bursting with a readiness to get out and discover her own royal heritage.

Of course most of us don't know we're princess, after all we've been raised to believe we're just poor country girls, yet we still go through the grooming and the courses to become a princess even if we don't know that's what its for.

Then some day, the prince arrives, Jesus who is so captured with our regal presence that he can't help but desire that we come into the fullness of Queenship as his wife.

This was just a quick blog to remind me to also be an Aurora not a Cinderella.

(If you've not seen the Disney movies Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella, it may be time to rent them.)

Economics 101

Support would greatly be appreciated.

You don't know how tempted I am to leave this entry at that simple phrase. It would allow me to keep my pride and not feel as if I were begging for money, and it would probably be easier for most people to ignore.

But pride goeth before the fall and while ignorance is bliss knowledge is power, so I'm going to lay out the facts for you all.

I need $1000 at the beginning of each month. Yes that's right ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS! 1-0-0-0.

That seems like a lot doesn't it? Well let's convert that over to Euro.

Right now the Euro is something like 1.45 to every 1 dollar. Let's just round that up to 1.50 for easier division.

1000÷ 1.50 is 666 euros.

Now let's factor in, food for the week is pulled from ten of us to eat off of for 6 days. That's

666-25= 641. Now let's take away my board, that's close to 100, that's euros now, not dollars.

So we now have 541, now let's put in for the cost of tuition, which would include lights, rent, heat, at 493.39 and then a salary for Andrew, (the man who runs the school) who hasn't drawn salary for over two years on the school, that's 47.61. Now remember all of that is in euro NOT dollars. That 1000 dollars doesn't seem like so much now does it, and it doesn't stretch very far either.

I hate to be frank, but those are the numbers.

Thank you all for being so supportive and giving while I was on my way over but now is the time I need you most, because I want to honor what I'm being taught here. I want to make sure my tuition is payed on time, so that I don't disrupt the order of these economics. I want to honor my teachers and my class mates by being productive in class and on time for classes, so why shouldn't It be she same for my tuition?

As always your prayers and gifts are lead of God and work so many wonders in my life and the lives of others. Please continue to support and I pray that you are all blessed a thousand times in return. (You can do the math on that one.)

Official Day 2

Happy New Years from Mijas Spain!!

Classes start the 5th tomorrow, and I'm excited to start.

So far the week hasn't been to eventful.

Just exploring the city and playing cards.

The first day was pretty eventful, walking on the beach in Fuinerola(sp?) and eating lunch out.

But seeing as I was unprepared for needing a towel we had to drop in at Dunes.

So we went into Dunes to get them and when we got out I went to ask about the bus.

Dad came over to go check and see what was taking me so long and forgot the towels on the bench we'd been sitting on.

When we got back the towels were gone! Stolen! (dramatic ohno)

We had 15 minutes before the bus arrived and had to go buy more towels.

All and all they worked out okay, excepted the black lint the towels left after you dried off with them.

Well today was mostly card playing since it rained.
