Hola de Huesca amigos y familia!
We would like to say hi to everyone from our new home in Huesca, Spain! The previous club that Levi was playing for in Mallorca was having some problems within their organization and we were so blessed to have the opportunity to move to a new club in the same league (Spanish Leb Oro) and live in Huesca. We have great memories of Mallorca and we feel lucky to have had the chance to live on such a beautiful island and make many good friends. We moved to Huesca on the 5th of December and have spent the past week and a half getting acclimated to our new apartment, teammates, coaches, city, etc. Huesca is a city in the far north of Spain tucked closely to the Pyrenees mountains. We hope to visit places such as the Spanish cities of Zaragoza, Madrid, and Barcelona, as well as possibly make it up to France over a long weekend. Its quite a bit colder here than it is in Mallorca but it's a similar winter to Colorado so we are used to it ;) We have a nice apartment near the middle of the city and we're within walking distance of just about everywhere we need to go. This place has a dishwasher and dryer so now we feel spoiled :)
Right now we are getting in the holiday spirit and just bought our first christmas tree as a married couple :) Maura is doing a great job with all the decorations and Levi is happy that she enjoys making them ;) We are also getting ready for Levi's sister Candace to visit for two weeks over the holidays!! Yay for getting to spend the holidays with family!!!
Levi's team is called "Club Baloncesto Penas - Huesca" but usually you will see it written as "Lobe Huesca". Here is the link to the team website http://cbphuesca.net/
We will post pictures, a link to the stats, etc soon. Levi has played one game so far with his new team and they beat Granada by 20 points on the road. Their next game is tonight against a good team, Ford Burgos.
We will post some pictures of our new home, city, and some basketball pics soon so stay posted! We thank everyone for their prayers and well wishes as we start "Part 2" of our Spanish adventure together. Please feel free to email, facebook, skype call us at any time; we love to hear from family and friends often! (fyi we're 8 hours ahead of CO, 7 hours ahead of MN, and 6 hours ahead of NY). Talk to you all soon and...
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
-Maura & Levi
