Ok, so it was a mini earthquake, not many people felt it, come to think of it maybe I was the only one.. But, I felt something and so did my kids that were a little freaked as to why the ground was rumbling.. It was a split second and nothing really moved, it was more like a jolt, a very quick one at that. I tried to look on the internet, but earthquakes here are not very common and not documented like in California.

Anyway, that has been the highlight of our week so far..The kids are thrilled to have so many days off from school, they are having a blast playing with all their friends and well, I’m trying to survive..We miss Matt very much and can’t wait for him to come home…

Happy first day of Spring! I hope this new season brings warmth and love to all of you!!

Today we had the weirdest weather, if we were still living in Miami we would have had a hurricane warning and everyone would have been out buying materials to last for months, we would have been boarding up the house and listening to all the TV stations for news of what else we should do…But not here in Alicante..

The winds were well, not sure the actual speed, but I had to hold on tight!! I could hardly open our front door and when the wind was hitting me, I could hardly breath.. It was also very, very cold..

In a couple of weeks Holy Week arrives in Spain and that is generally when the good weather starts appearing and even some daring tourist take a dip in the pool or brave the ocean waves..Not sure what they will do if this weather continues…
