One of the students from my Spanish class invited us all around for a party on Friday night. The party was held at Ludis's place. Ludis is a free spirited American guy who is travelling Europe and has decided to settle in Spain for some time - with his girlfriend Liga - who is from Latvia. They are both in my Spanish class. Ludis is very friendly and open. He talks to everyone and is the type of guy that everybody will know as he very nice. Liga is also very nice, yet a little more shy and quiet. Ludis loves the attention he gets in class and likes it when the teachers compliment him. I told him that he is like the "eager beaver" who always needs the pat on the back for getting the right answer! He agrees with me!! So off we go to Selva de Mar metro station on Friday night at 9pm. Armed with drinks and snacks for a large crowd. When we got outside the metro station I realised that I did not have Ludis's cell number correctly saved in my phone. I phoned the number and got a child answering with "ci". Luckily, just after ending the second phone call to the wrong number, two of our teachers came walking around the corner. They at least had the correct phone number and called Ludis to come and meet us. Ludis told us about the huge (120square meter) place he lives in. So Garth and I were keen to see the amazing bargain priced flat he has found to rent. Ludis met us and walked us to his place. It turned out that the flat is what once used to be warehouse or some sort of building like that. Then it was used as a night club. Then he moved in. There is so much space in there that he could run a hostel with several dormitories in it. So the evening was spent talking to Ludis, Liga, Pablo (teacher), Guiu (teacher), Dan (a fellow student from the US) and some other people. Later on in the evening a friend of Ludis and Liga's arrived with a cardboard box in her hands. She revealed two small kittens in the box. The kittens were from her parents' farm and were meant to be resettled at Ludis and Liga's place. The reason why ? I would soon find out. There are huge mice running about the place!! Those two kittens were only 4 weeks old and could still fit into the palm of your hand. For the time being, I thought the kittens might be eaten by the mice!! The poor kittens lay asleep on a towel on the floor and a mouse came out to play, running all over the place whilst we watched it hiding from us humans - and the sleepy kittens!
