... t know if many other people do. I've never seen it. But for the first time in my life I saw this joven do so. This was my first true feel for the people of Granada. Pretty cool. After meeting up we walked along a road and it was really nice. Granada has foothills on the east side so it adds a really neat effect. There was also a stream. The first running water I've seen in Spain. I think Malaga is too try to have running water like that aside ...

... reasonable... if I only have to prepare materials can I come early on Tuesday and do it then? No. Then another 30 minute argument began. There is just no flexibility. After a half hour I stopped her and just said, clearly there is no changing your mind about this even though I see it as so simple.<br><br>With all of this I have been so overly stressed out and have hated going to school. Juan really helped me think about things differently though and ...

... je dors dans une caravane, dans le jardin, j'ai une casita, c'est chouette!  J'investis très rapidement les lieux... Ca me fait beaucoup de bien de me poser dans un endroit si calme, et rempli d'une belle énergie de vie! La vie simple de la campagne me plaît.. A côté de la caravane, se trouve une douche solaire (yeah!) et des toilettes sèches!! décidément y a tout pour me plaire ;-) J'essaie de parler espagnol, je sens que mon ...

... After a hurried round of tapas, Jessica and I headed off to a flamenco show - as a school group, we had gotten special discounts for it, and I knew it was going to be super touristy, but hey, it's Andalucia, the cradle of flamenco, so why not give it a whirl (I also thought that I would perhaps appreciate it more now that I had also learned some baby flamenco steps) It was a good show - not particularly spectacular, but diverting nonetheless. Flamenco is a ...

... the odd house next to the road. Our lunch spot was next to a trickling irrigation channel. On the descent into Orgiva we were passed by some mountain bikers. It was a steep slope to walk and bike down. One rider did very well when he hit a rock and did a hand stand to avoid face planting a rock. We found a room in Orgiva and went to explore the town. It was a small town but it did have a small Indian takeaway shop. After buying some supplies for ...

... Orange Trees everywhere! Downtown Granada Albycin District View of the Alhambra It was hot, but in the distance, there was SNOW on the Sierra Nevada ...

... to find a Spanish omelet for breakfast, in Spain! *Watching 20 men, marching in unison, under a wooden crate covered in sand bags, as they prepare to carry the float of the Virgin Mary in the Semana Santa (Easter) parade. *And last but not least, some brilliant bathroom etiquette rules we happened upon in a bar: Ladies - Please remain seated for the entire performance. Gentlemen - Your aim will help. Stand ...

... On Thursday I explored the city a bit and actually ended up at the entrance to the Alhambra, so that was very cool!!! Yesterday 3 other girls and myself planned our first trip!!! We are going to London and Dublin for a week at the end of this month!! I am very excited for that!!!! I love it here, but there is still a lot to get used to!!!! If you have questions or comments just post them and I will get back to you asap!!! adios!!!

... around it. Another thing was the numerous alters that are all the was round the cathedral. Had first experience of Granadan tapas as well, really nice olives and rolls in one place, but the second I was given shell-on prawns - which is a bit of a trauma coz I don´t like deshelling prawns at all, managed it in the end tho! Visited Alhambra today, was amazing, can´t believe I´ve taken that many ...

... with themselves (we saw them coming from the top) and we figured we missed some shuttle bus which would have taken some of the grueling thigh burning effort out of the equation. This is the only logical conclusion, just how did these people, one minute were behind us, then coming down from the top, then behind us again on the way down, only to be in the bus waiting for our return to Granda.....Very frustrating! Granada has a Moorish ...
