monday..rain again..Marisa, Evas mother, and Lois her boyfriend come back from El Puerto de Santa Maria, where they have SUR, their sailing boat on the dry dock..they are restoring it from A-Z before they want to start a sailing trip all around the world in november..omi remembers the idea c a l c once had with Kurt Matt, the austrian artist who lives and works a lot on his boat and in harbours - to use the sailing boat and its GPSdata as a "drawing kit" and visualise the route, the wind..

Cristina calls from Jerez de la Frontera, Evas aunt..she maybe found a house for her project..she worked as a linguist in the univercity of Cadiz and would like to set up a language school for imigrants..but also invite other groups and initiatives to give workshops, etc...Eva will be the architect who brings the house into the shape this activities need.
