Cave Houses

My name is Carola, I'm seventeen years old and I'm from the Netherlands. I came to Spain four years ago and since then I live in a cave. The first time I came here, the cave that my dad had bought looked very old and unsafe. My dad stayed here to work on the cave and to make it like a normal house. Six months later me and my mon went back and we were really surprised about the work that my dad had done.
The part of the cave where I live now, the first time wasn't even there but the second time I went he had it already finished! But I still wasn't convinced to live in that place, not because it was a cave house, but because in that area live a lot of gipsy's and I wasn't used to that.
When I started going to school things went better because then I understood that the gyupsy's had always lived there and that they weren't that bad. After four years my dad is still working on the house but I'm happy with it. My schooll is fun and I've got some friends and even a boyfriend. At the beginning I didn't thought that I could become happy here but now I am. Although lots of my friends or family who haven't been here don't understand it. They think that living in a cave is from the prehistorie but it isn't.
I really like living in a cave house because in the summer when it gets up to 40 degrees outside, inside you're at 17 degrees and in the winter the same. It's also really quiet, you don't hear almost nothing from outside. The only bad thing is that there's only daylight at the front part of the cave. My partens have also got a Bed and Brakfast but many people can't sleep in a cave because they aren't used to it or they become scared because there aren't any windows. Another bad thing that I see of living in a cave house is that inside the cave your mobile phone hasn't got any signal so you've always have to go outside. I think that to understand how it is to live in a cave you just have to come around someday and try it!
And how about you? Where do you live? What is your home like? Do you share with many people? Is it fun living in your house?
