Week four

[Antonio247]

Saturday. Friday was a rest day. We didn´t have lessons because we have started Easter holidays until Tuesday 13th April. By the way, in Spain, our unlucky day is Tuesday 13th instead of Friday 13th. We have a saying that is “En martes, ni te cases ni te embarques” which means “ On Tuesday, don´t get married or go on board a ship”. Well, on Friday evening I went with my brother José to Roquetas to watch the film “In America” in the original version with subtitles in Spanish. It is about an Irish family who moved to New York after losing a little son. It is told from the point of view of one of the little girls. It is a bit sad but with happy moments. I found it a little more difficult to understand than “Love, actually” . I general, I liked the film. This week, they´re showing “Mona Lisa smile”, which I´ve heard is quite good. It´s starred by Julia Roberts. It is about a university professor at a women´s college who wants to change their students´ mentality in the United States in the 50s. It´s been compared to “The club of the dead poets” but related to older girls.

On Saturday, I did cross-training after a few weeks I hadn´t been able to do that properly. I also went with my brother on bicycle along the sea front whenever possible or along the road to Costacabana near the airport. We left at 4.45 pm from my parents´ house, which is near where I live and went at an easy pace as far as the end of Costacabana sea front. It was a lovely day with many people sunbathing on the beaches and with a little breeze. It took us 35 minutes to get there where we stopped to have some water and a cereal bar. My brother wants to do St James´ way on bicycle. If I can, I´d like to do it as well. http://www.jacobeo.net/ Then, we came back along the same way. We saw many people riding on bicycle or running along this route. In all, we did around 17 kilometres in 1 hour fifteen minutes.

Well, today Sunday I´ve got to do 20 miles. My brother is coming with me on bicycle so that I can have some water and cereal bars and this way it won´t be so boring to be plodding along for around four hours.
