Sorry it has been so long since our last post. We have had a lot going on. We did not have much luck finding a furnished apartment near our school, so we have been staying in hotels. When we first arrived in Spain, we were staying at the High Tech Hotel in the city of Getxo. It looks fancy, but apparently it had the best price in Greater Bilbao for a family room, and the quarters were pretty tight. Once we got some transportation, we decided to move to a Basque house (kind of like a bed-and-breakfast) called Bisalde in Bakia for a few days so that we would have a little bit more room. Of course there was no internet there, so we were not able to post any updates.
But the days of being vagabonds is over. Yesterday we got into a great apartment in Portugalete. It has really been a relief to finally have a place of our own. Today we spent the whole day just hanging around the place, except for the hour we spent on Katie's first driving excursion on European roads (I don't know if it was more stressful for the driver or the passengers; I will let her tell about it). Bianca, Eliana, and Giada are excited to have a place to call home again. Giada even said she that she doesn't live in the "helltel" any more. I promise she came up with that on her own, and did not pick it up from her parents.
We have a few things about which you can pray. I am leaving Saturday morning for New Orleans to pick up or visas (we are approved!), but I will be there for several days, and Katie will be here with the girls by herself. We also start language school on April 20, and we have not yet secured childcare. Pray that we will get that settled soon. We will post more and maybe even some pictures later.
