standing on my own 2 feet

Hi everyone,
I have made it for almost a week on my own. The family I was living with left on Friday and I am still getting used to the quietness of the place. The neighbour next to me is a really sweet lady who took me around town over the weekend and woke me up one morning to give me pancakes because they were freshly made. I tried to make some banana bread to give to her in return but it didnt work out so well the first time, so I bought more bananas for another attempt.
Here are some pics I took over the weekend:

This is the cathedral in the center of the town

The cathedral again, about 5 minutes after I took the other pic

My neighbour showing me the central square, which has tons of shops and cafes as well as the theater on the right. 

 The entrance to the Sea garden, which is a long park right by the shore and where Karin Dom is located

Walking along the sea garden. It reminds me of Stanley park a little because its right by the downtown area and next to the sea. I love that there are so many people strolling around with their friends or families throughout the whole park.

Things at the center are going really well, there are even more little cuties that I get to meet everyday. With some I play games which helps them to explore their different senses, with others we work on learning how to dress and undress, and with others I help them learn numbers or do puzzles during groups. I hope that by the end of my placement, I will be able to see that what I'm doing is making a difference for these kids.

In other news, I have booked my ticket to Barcelona for 4 days in May. Its gonna be sweet.....beach, tapas, music and some gaudi architecture.
Till next time
