... and walked all around trying to find them to no avail. No one at the reception desk was very friendly and when I asked about the three different times printed about our arrival in Barcelona one girl yelled at me that I was wrong. That was the end of my happy vacation. Went back to the room and packed and Rachel went to the disco and we got 4 hours of sleep.

Benidorm is called the Manhattan of the Costa Blanca, not cause its super cool, but because of its numerous high rises. We didn't spent much time here, we drove 20 min to the next town called Calpe. We did a cool hike, up a huge rock peninsula, and recommended by the guide book we brought with us. Being experienced hikers and being completely ignorant as to what we ...

... we went to see and in Altea there was a beautiful rocky beach where Cristina and I had a really good heart to heart about our lives. Hehe, so corny but it was really good. I &lt;3 her mucho!~! I love good listeners since I'm such a big talker, tehe, but I love talkers too, which thank goodness both Elizabeth and Cristina are!~!<br>And hollaback at that anchor!~! DG love!~! o--+--)<br>

... necklace made out of onion for Annabelle!~! And a pair of mono hammered metal copper earrings!~! It's hard here because spending Euros doesn't seem like you're spending real money--but it is! <br>We meet our host families in two days and that's when it all really begins. I can't wait! I'm just hoping and praying that I live close to the City Centre. And that mi familia es muy amable. <br>Elizabeth and I haven't had to eat ...

... with: "What nationality are you?" I stared at him blankly and replied "British", I joked, "this is the BRITISH consulate". He then wisely replied "no, no. Many people don´t realise this but Britain actually consists of England, Scottland, and Wales". At this point someone else sitting behind, him who we had previously spoke to, started to silently cry laughing. I replied "yeh, I know but....." He then interupted me and said "no, your not hearing me, the Island ...

... made more funny when Miguel came down and she realised it was him. Awesome we are actually meeting people again. Once we got everyone together (including a few more recruits bringing the total to 11) we headed toward the town centre to find some decent clubs. Obviously during the two hour walk there many funny things happened including when a hooker tried to pull Alex2's pants down ...

... legends. We missioned round the town looking for beer, when we found it we sat outside the door of the shop on the floor drinking. . . we were soon moved on. Fortunatelly, there was a bench round the corner and Vince had a harmonica. They were robbed in Barcalona like us. So, we sang the Peniscola/Barcalona blues. "going down to Barcalona. . . . Ain't as bad as Peniscola. . . . Takin' my ...

First of all I can´t believe we actually survived the night. Whats more is that the lizards and cockroaches running around didnt go near me. Thats a good start. <br><br>Never see famous people in England , yet you cycle 1500 miles to a supermarket in the middle of Spain you find Tony Robbinson. Amazing. Then we ate big food ...

... Küsten. Patrick führt mich zielstrebig zu den schönsten und sehenswertesten Flecken, die diese Stadt zu bieten hat. Der Hafen ist erstklassig - seht selbst!<br><br>Ich höre den ganzen Tag Englisch - ja es gibt sogar englische Pubs und englisches Essen. Es ist nur ziemlich heiß, schon beim schleichenden Gehen breche ich in Schweißescapaden aus-uff!<br><br>Aber gut, das war sicher noch kühl - im August 09 erlebt Spanien eine Hitzewelle - es hat immer über 40 Grad!<br>

... of high school in September. We cannot speak highly enough, of the integration programme for foreigners, that is in place in the Benissa secondary school. Obviously, we cannot comment on other schools, but having personally met with 4 out of her 6 teachers, we feel that she (and we) have been truly blessed with an amazing (somewhat young and modern) tutorial team, who have strived to see her complete her studies, and have gone out of their way to ...
