Spain has proven to be one big adventure, or a continuous series of little adventures all combined.

A week ago, I got a spanish cell phone sim card.  Brae and I went to a phone store and he translated for me.  I wanted a basic plan that had some phone minutes, some texts and some internet data.  The lasy expained my deal to be 60 minutes calling, 100 texts, and 1Gb data.  5 days later, without making a single call, and getting 2 text from the phone company, and only using 150Mbs, my phone card has run out, and I need to pay more to keep the phone working......and I can't get any answers from the phone company, because my phone doesn't work.

The story of the passport registration was told by Kris and Jaedyn.
Our first rental car was a larger van.  We paid more to rent it for a week than we did to rent a car for the month.  Also, there were a lot of hidden fees that weren't on the website.  There was the fuel fee......"pay for the fuel in the car.....and pay for the fuel you use.....and then pay for us to fuel it after...and then pay again for making us charge you".   We seem to have paid for the next 2 renters fuel...I guess pay it forward it a noble thing!

We paid for our NIE (European ID Number) in Canada, but we have to pay for it again in Spain.  Oh well..

We have tried to send the rental fees to our landlord using Paypal, but we seem to be having some issues.  We can't send the lump sum, Actually, we can't send any right now (we are dealing with this, and should be straightened out soon).  I think we are going to get the next guests we have to bring us the money.....BTW, if your the next guest on the calendar, call us  :).

I still love it here, and we are finding new and fun things to do each day.  We have made it a mission to find a new beach, or site to visit each day.  Even the issues we are having are just first world problems, and we are finding the humor in everything.
