Progress

It´s been more than a month since my last post, things in Spain take their time. Since then, things have picked up speed! The old kitchen has been destroyed, walls have been knocked down and built up again in new places, wall and floor tiles will arrive this Wednesday and more than 400 large bags of debris have been heaved down the 7 floors... Manolo, our dear family carpenter, is working hard with his Brazilian assistant, Luis, who can be caught singing in Portuguese at any time as he hacks and smacks and tugs and pulls and pushes and lifts away...hard workers! We are leaving for Sicily next week and then California after that, and are hoping that bounds will be made this week before we go...(however, mom-in-law will be left in charge during our travels, nothing to worry about, she's tough!).
