I had a great weekend, but am so tired now. On Friday, Albert and I, along with four of our friends, spent the day at the beach. We played beach tennis and swam. The water was so incredibly cold. After spending about three minutes in the water, all of our bodies became numb and it was easy to swim. Here, the water is crystal clear and so beautiful. It's so different from the Texas coast. The beach was so clean and nice. The only thing I'm going to have to get used to is all the naked and topless people on the beach. It is definitely a lot different than what I'm used to in the US.




This weekend, Albert coached at a basketball camp and I went with him. The camp was in Tarragona and lasted only two days. We stayed in dorms and participated in a lot of activities. Albert was in charge of a team of eight thirteen year old boys, so as you can imagine, the weekend was very tiring! Since it was an all-boys basketball camp, I was definitely the "talk" of the weekend. Everyone was so interested in talking with me, and many of them couldn't speak English. Albert and I had a lot of fun though, but now we're totally exhausted from this weekend.




Today after the camp ended, Albert, his brother and I explored Tarragona. Tarragona was the second most important city, after Rome, during the Roman Empire. There are still many walls and statues standing from the time of the Roman Empire.




Not much else to say. I'll write again soon!
