Our apartments are right on the ocean in the port town of Estepona. It's about a 25 min drive from here to the school in Sotogrande and a couple teachers volunteered to drive us every day. We are in two apartments in the same complex but we have to go outside to get to each others place. Christa, Libby and Chelsea are rooming together in an apartment on the first floor and Alyssa, Ashley and Sam are on the third floor (actually the 4th because they call the first floor bajo and then start with primero on the second floor). The first time we went up to the apartment we tried to take the elevator. It is very small and we all packed in like sardines. The door closed behind us and we pressed the button for the third floor but nothing happened! We realized that we were way over the weight limit for the elevator and frantically pressed the button for the doors to open and nothing happened! We panicked for a couple seconds before the doors finally decided to open. We've been happily taking the stairs ever since! When we got here Pippa (our contact from the school) had pre-stocked our apartment with food. Some of it was familiar (noodles, chips) and some of it was strange (a mystery melon that tasted like sweet honeydew). Our apartments are often rented out to people on Holiday, so there are some goodies left behind in the closets. We had fun exploring and finding an umbrella, lawn chairs, a huge bag, even a mini scooter! Our apartment is right next to the ocean and we have a beautiful view from our windows Unfortunately our keys don't work for the gate to get back from the and we had to be creative to get back into our complex after a walk by the ocean! There is a pool in our yard and perfect weather for sunning and swimming. Plus there are beautiful tropical flowers and plants everywhere. The pictures here are from the window of our third story apartment. Yep, we're living the good life here in Estapona.
