Apartahotel Luna Granada

... good. After that we walked to another tapas bar more in the historic center and it was about six fifty and my friend got a glass of wine, I got a 'jarra' of beer and our tapas was two bagel sandwiches, pasta, and fries. Pretty awesome. During the evening I went with the group to "a grand surprise", a flamenco show. It was alright but it felt very artificial. It was a group of Americans and a group of Japanese. That was the only audience. After ...

... every couple of minutes I would feel a tugging at the bottom of my skirt and would then see a small crowd of little 5-year-olds pulling at my tail. Hehe. <br><br>We had a poorly organized Halloween party in my 6th grade classroom on the Friday before Halloween too. I felt like more of a zookeeper than a teacher. I was supposed to give the kids a little summary of what we do for Halloween in the US and maybe a little bit of the history of Halloween, but that ...

... are different like toilet instead of bathroom. Also, I was once approached by a teacher who asked me if I had a rubber. I was a little taken aback since rubber is another word for condom in the US but in GB it is an eraser! haha.<br><br>Life in General<br><br>I am still trying to keep busy outside of school and it has been a great success. I have been to museums, free showings of films, and flip cup tournaments among other things. My schedule has really ...

... est en train de s'habituer à entendre cette langue, je comprends de plus en plus, mais j'ai encore de la peine à m'exprimer. <br>Envie de profiter de chaque seconde...<br>les nuits se rafraîchissent et un matin je découvre du givre sur mon chemin des toilettes... ggrrrr... le pipi du matin devient la première expédition de la journée!!<br>Je passe mes matinées à travailler dans la ferme, beaucoup de désherbage, y a un côté méditatif ...

Hello! I´m not in granada at the moment, I´m writing this from seville, but I´ve brilliantly changd the date on the blog to accurately reflect history. Which is important. Also, I want the map thing to keep drawing little lines.<br><br>So anyways, rest of the time in Cordoba, saw the Mezquita (a mosque that´s been converted into a cathedral - basically medieval religious changing rooms with a ot of columns) and the alcazar (palace/castle thing with nice gardens and statues ...

... Most will be held just outside the city. Things like bull fighting, flamenco dancers, music and more. Hopefully I'll get a chance to travel on the outskirts to attend these events.<br><br>I made dinner tonight and enjoyed some spicy Thai curry with rice. Mmmm. I also watched the wwdc for Mac conference online. I was hoping they would announce the new iPhone. They did but it looks the same with some minor new features. Now my ...

Granada of course is home to the famous Alhambra, a Muslim palace and fortress dating back from the 12th Century. It was nominated to be counted as one of the 7 modern wonders of the world a couple of years ago, but didn´t make it past the Taj Mahal. Having seen both, I´d have to say it was unlucky. The Taj Mahal is certainly more impressive, but the sheer size of the ...

We came to Spain without a plan. Somewhere along our trip we decided to add another country to the itinerary (Morocco) which combined with the extended Visa process for Brazil meant we were running out of time. To add to our time constraints, the typically very convenient and exceedingly fast Spanish train system did not service our intended route very well. Lastly, Jeff had managed to pick up a heck of a cold. So we broke down and rented a car instead of ...

... the streets and wound up at the plazas with the medieval type booths. This time it was even busier and Meg couldn't help herself from sampling some of their homemade sweets. We have only been in Granada for two nights but we feel we have accomplished more than we initially anticipated. It is a very pleasant city with a vibrancy beyond its scope of expectation. Afabulous place that we would love to visit again. But for now, we are off to Seville!

... influences from all types of people and cultures. the gardens were incredible, and the level of detail in different rooms was amazing. i have many pics to share with you guys. After Alhambra we left to go get out backpacks from our hostel. it took us a while to find it though...seems like no one in spain knows the street names where they are...everyone was giving us conflicting directions. o well, we found it and continued to our next hostel ...
