Its been 2 days, weather report; rain, cool, dark skys today. I´m on my second day in work I´m working with a politician in the town hall of Ceuta. Her name is Rocio and she is working with a team of 7 others, 4 being in the room I am in and the rest in another working with documents, graphical works for the post and online pages, emails and letters.
English is hard to come by out here. The woman I am working with has very little English but most of the time you can make out what they are trying to say. We have both agreed to help each other with Spanish and English. Rocio is studying English and has an exam in June so hopefully interactions with talking English can help her as well as any questions she may have I can assist her. The trip to Ceuta was enjoyable with a total of 7 and a half hours on the go from leaving Galway city over two days. The whole way here to Ceuta was really a great experience. We had flown from Shannon airport to Malaga Saturday night arriving at 10:30. We then stayed in a hotel that was only a few minutes from the airport. The next morning we set off at 10:30 from the hotel in Malaga to The dock where we would get the boat across to Ceuta. The journey was over an hour and a half to the dock but it was enjoyable passing thought different city’s and towns as well as seeing costal views. Arriving at great time at 12 we had made good timing to get the boat leaving at 12:30. The crossing experience was pretty cool getting to see lots on the one hour journey over. I took many pictures some of which are included in this post. The weather sadly was not great at all. Arriving at Ceuta we then headed for the shop where we would meet the two girls that had sorted out our accommodation. Avda De Africa was the name of the apartment we are going to stay in. We are on the 6th floor with a really nice view. So far from what I´ve seen of Ceuta it´s an amazing place and I think im going to enjoy working and living here a lot. The weather is meant to pick up on Thursday hitting the 26 mark so looking forward to the weekend to see more of Ceuta and do some activities. -Cathal
