Prior to all of us getting up, Devon had woken up and snuggled with us for a few minutes.
Scott walked 3 happy kids to school.
Then we tried to transfer money online from our US bank to our Spanish bank to pay for school and rent next month. We're still in the process of trying to make that all go through. Luckily we have a Plan B. Hopefully we won't have to use it.
I had the chance to meet some of the ladies in the American Women's Club of Seville this morning. Thank you Shannon W. for having me find them. They've been helpful in the states and I had been looking forward to meeting them. Today's event was at one of the women's apartments. She lives just across the canal in the Triana neighborhood that we had visited on Sunday. She was hosting the club's monthly CAMEO (Come And Meet Each Other) event and fundraiser. I met a lot of lovely women, mostly retirees or semi-retirees. One was so gracious that she invited me along on an outing that she and some other ladies are doing tomorrow. Unfortunately it's an all day outing and I need to be around to pick up the kids for lunch.
As I tried to leave the building, I realized that the door was locked from both the inside and the outside. In our building there's a button to push, that's near the door, and it unlocks the door. I kept on looking for a similar button in this building and pushed on the 2 closest to the door hoping that I wasn't buzzing someone's apartment. No luck. I started thinking that I was going to spend all day there. And then I looked farther away from the door and finally found the button I needed.

From there I picked up the kids at school and it was Cody's turn to pick a place to eat. He chose a take away sandwich shop. What he really wanted me to do is get a cover for my new and semi-working phone. After we ate lunch, we went across the street to the Chinese market we were told sold loads of phone covers. We didn't find any there that fit my phone. But, I knew of another one a block or two away and luckily they did have a cover there. And it's in blue, my favorite color. Cody has already claimed this phone as his once we return to the US and I need to switch to a Verizon phone.
Scott's picking up the kids at school and I need to finish preparing dinner.
