We've gotten a little behind technology wise since decamping to Spain in Dec. 2007, but after seeing Tom and Susan's fun and beautiful blog, we thought we had to have a try. Why La Vida Artesania? Mostly because since arriving here Linda's devoting more time to art, mainly watercolors, and selling originals, prints and cards at local artisan markets. We're also doing art projects together, our Gaudiesque mosaics - we'll show you photos of those.
We plan to relate our latest activities and incorporate some Spanish into the blog as part of our studies. Every week we do an Intercambio with our Italian friends, Daniela and Gabrielle that consists of first some English language study for them, then sharing a meal while reverting to Spanish, our common language, for the rest of the evening.We've just added a weekly Spanish grammar lesson that our friend David provides. Right, the local language is Catalan - we'll talk about that later.
We harvested our olives in early Nov. and got 100 liters of oil. More info about our trees, the chupones, the moli, and the preserving will follow.
So welcome to our blog and la vida en Catalunya!
Steve and Linda
