... of the small plaza that sold baked goods. It looked so good and there was a line with about six people. On my way back to the hotel and the meeting point I was doing some serious observations and I observed a ´joven´ go slightly out of his way to step on a crunchy looking leaf. I thought that was great. I´m part of this group on facebook that´s called "I will go slightly out of my way to step on a crunchy looking leaf". I myself will do this but I ...

... The following day 5 teachers were out sick so Juan was unable to come with me but Fernando accepted my proposal without a hitch! But there was another problem...<br><br>On Fridays I teach 6th grade for 1 hour 45 minutes and that is my work day. The 6th graders were going to be out on a field trip so the teacher told me they didn´t have class. The principal, Carmen, told me I still had to come and prepare materials. I asked a question which I thought was ...

J'arrive à la montagne, dans les Alpujarras, après plusieurs heures de vélo et aussi un peu de bus: Je suis accueillie au village par Jordi, fermier bio espagnol. Nous avons convenus que je resterais une semaine avec eux et qu'on verrait par la suite: Grande tranquillité dans cet endroit. Je fais la connaissance de sa femme, Lore, suisse-allemande de Zurich et de leurs 2 enfants, un garçon de 10 ans, Rama, et une fille de 8 ans, Tara ...

The Sierra Nevada were snow capped when we looked south from Granada and we had heard there were some good walks in the valley behind the range. We did a little research on the area and the walks and decided it would be a good place to visit. The bus trip from Granada to Lanjaron was only short in distance but we seemed to stop a lot even before we left Granada . Once in Lanjaron we wondered along the main street to find our hotel. It was run by an ...

... hours, it was really comfortable and scenic! We were served drinks and food, and we watched movies in the comfort of reclining leather seats. Olive ...

... The fruits of our labor were all for naught, and the not so "royal" oranges got the best of us! Perhaps what grabbed me most about Cordoba was its curious oddities: *The bells in the central square replaced with megaphones spewing discordant sounds every 15 minutes of the hour. *The hotel receptionist telling me the internet is "closed" when the computer is clearly on and available in the lobby. *The ...

... Then a group of us went to la chupitería, in spanish is a shot!! This place was awesome!!! They had a board on the wall with over 125 different shots, from soft, medium, to very strong shots!!! The discotecas dont open until around 2, I was super tired from the whole first week, though so my night ended with the USA shot at la chupiteria!! I have been running in el parque de garcia lorca near my apartment which is very pretty ...

Well I breathed a huge sigh of relief when I heard the airport strike for 7 January has been called off. Now I can think about doing some packing. Never had to pack for 3 months before so it will be an interesting challenge to pack for the tropics &amp; the mountains &amp; for scuba ...

... a daughter called Joanna the Crazy, her hubby and one of F&amp;I grandsons. The cathedral was stunning, I´ve never seen one like it, a bit notre dame from the outside, but not on the inside, it is completely white with lots of guilding and a mixture of styles from the centuries, the most amazing thing was the sacristy, it has a domed ceiling covered in stars, and is circular with statues of the ...

... and walked and walked up the snowless ski field for a few hours....where is this track? The brochure said a nice leisurely 2 hour walk, hey, we´re speedy, what´s going on?!?!?!?!?!? We walked some more and eventually we saw the top, but alas, we had to return to our bus at a great rate of knots..... no lunch, and we didnt even get to the top. We ran down and made the bus by minutes, meanwhile everyone else on the bus looked relaxed and ...
