Quiet Day

Well, as some of you know already, some don't, I'm in Ceuta for the week. There's kind of a final resting period for me before the President of the organization and the director take me down to Chefchaouen for my long work-stay. So basically a week of me on my own.

I'm currently staying at the temp. housing/hostel that is above the little church in the city of Ceuta that can house probably around 8 to 10 people, but currently it's just me here. Frikken creepy at night, let me tell you - the wind around here is impressively strong, and almost never stops - and at night, when it's pushing the bars and outside blinds on the windows and slamming doors all night long, it's unsettling, especially when you're the only person here. There also aren't that many lights, so I confess, last night I went to bed at sundown and put on a couple of movies for company. Unfortunately, one of the other quirks of this place is that the wireless refuses to give me an IP address, so I'm stuck on their ethernet - thank the Lord I have that during the day or I'd lose my marbles! (well, more)

The President is going to swing by sometime this evening to meet me and to give me another run down of things I need to know while I'm here and down in Chefchaouen (google it if you want to know where it is, heh). But right now it's me and CCN Spain here. I'll probably explore town more tomorrow, but today I'm more in the mood to hang and write and draw.

I ran down to the supermarket when I got here yesterday after the coordinator made me lunch (bless her! I hadn't eaten all day), and found that it's within easy walking distance (maybe 15mins away downhill - 20mins back if you're only carrying a light load, more depending on how much you want to buy). There's a toasty maker here, so that is what I'll be eating while I'm here, I've determined. Yeah, so much for a balanced diet.

On a completely different note, I think that it's appropriate that I left the USA for my overseas adventures right as the daisies stopped blooming. Just sayin'.
