La Piscina

Yesterday we did something totally in our wheelhouse…we joined a swim team! It felt so good for the girls to be back in the water, and Mitch and I loved being able to watch them. They had a great showing in Riba-Roja. They quickly moved up to leading their lanes. Even Hattie swam at least a 500 without stopping. We didn’t know she had it in her!!! The coach was born and lived in Tucson, Arizona (bear down) of all places and moved to Spain as a child. The girls really did great…and it’s no surprise that Hattie made a friend right off the bat. We watched her chatting it up during kick sets with Gabby, another American girl for quite some time.

We toured the area some, it looks so much like our beloved Arizona in some ways. And we finally went by the girls schools. They are so ready to get started and start learning the language and making friends. I think they’re struggling just being home with mom all day. We’re slowly but surely getting there.
