My first impression, I admit, was a bit of shock. The house is old.. Very old.. We arrived at the house, knocked on the door, and I broke the wood paneling.. Luckily the security door was still locked!
Inside, we claimed our room – housing a double bed with one top sheet, a less than perfectly clean toilet and a dodgy ceiling fan (which thankfully Dan managed to get working). The sign in the kitchen which is undercover but which opens onto a garden on one side, said that there we have resident mice.. I was hoping that the mice did not take regular excursions to the bedrooms..
After 2 nights here now, we are settling in and have not had any visits from our furry kitchen friends. We now have a gorgeous baby blue mosquito net to sleep under, there is internet and cable TV in the house and we have a lovely and refreshing outdoor shower :)
We have met our current housemates, but as is the transient nature of volunteering, most of them are leaving in the next 2 weeks and we will have a new set of people to live with.
We don't begin volunteering until next week. Until then we are taking one on one Spanish lessons - lots of fun! Hasta luego!!
