Cadiz, last week.


I went to this beach town to stay with friends of my spanish family and it was so awesome. The city is called Cadiz and it is so beautiful. The temperature is great...a little humid, but I think I could get used to it. I should anyway. Well, I decided that I want to live there someday. I have a couple pictures...not really many. It is actually one of the ancient Roman ports and part of the city, well, the ancient city is sunk in the ocean and when the tide is out far enough you can see the tops of some of the buildings.

This is the "Cuban" beach where they filmed some scenes in Die Another Day in Cadiz.

So, for my last week...I am sick. I came down with a fever last weekend and am now suffering a bad cold. I have a terrible cough still, but Louis gave me a blessing of healing and it was really comforting and I am really grateful for it. Today it was funny though because I was up in my room when Louis yelled up to me
"Mateo!"
"¿Sí?"
"Baja" (come down here)
and then I heard Cristina say "Por favor" to Louis to remind him to say it.
"Por favor?"
"Sí, voy" (coming)
and when I walked in the kitchen they were standing there facing me very seriously, and I realized it was an intervention. And as I was trying to think of what I could possibly deserve an intervention for, they directed me to the counter where sitting there was a jar of cough syrup with a big spoon.
Louis said, "We don't like this cough. We need to take care of you." And Cristina said, "So you need to take two tablespoons a day."
Then once I had taken it they asked me how it was, and that was that.
