Don Juan Granada

... 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 ...

... could meet about discussing how to organize the new schedule. He told me that it was already done and he didn´t want to talk anymore about it. I asked to see it and he was reluctant but he finally gave it to me. It was much worse than the previous schedule. So although my contract says I am to work no more that 12 hours per week at the school, I would be at the school or waiting around or in transport to the school for more than 30 hours per week. It seems a ...

... all get better, just give it some time.<br><br>So anyway, I was a little thrown off when I saw them all sitting in the office waiting for me. They put on some sympathetic facesa and asked me if things were better. I said, well yes, at the beginning I was completely confused with regards to exactly what I was supposed to be doing at the school but it was more clear now. And then Carmen and Fernando chimed in saying, yes it is better it is better! It was a ...

... travail, je peux laisser mes pensées venir puis les laisser s'en aller... je récolte du maïs, puis désherbe le champ à la pioche; je grimpe dans les arbres pour cueillir des oranges (mmmhhh que de bonnes odeurs et de goûts délicieux); je désherbe un canal pour amener l'eau de la montagne dans les champs; je récolte du basilic, des amandes et je fais du pesto maison!!! mmmhh que c'est bon d'être en contact avec la terre qui me nourrit...

... of what there is to see in Sevilla is only accessible by foot. Around 9:15, the bus dropped us off at the hotel, where we quickly changed and headed out in a big group to "tapatear", or get some tapas! We went to a little place right along the River Guadalquivir and had drinks and olives as we watched the sunset. We then returned to the hotel, where I met up with a few other people and left the big group. It was around 12:30 and all we had had was wine and olives, so we figured it ...

... me positively pre-pubescent, but never mind... ANother tidbit...there's also a delightful bar called the Chupeteria where you go and they have a selection of 180 or so different shots of alcohol, costing a euro each...for every shot you buy you get a ticket and eventually, when you have enough tickets, you can trade them in for prizes! I got a fan, but shirts, sombreros, thongs and bandanas are also available... More to come on Granada...

Happy Halloween and have a wonderful weekend (take an extra long lunch with friends just for the fun of it)!!!!! ciao, ciao... LoLo

Before we delve into the story of my muy mal dia, i have a few notes to self to leave behind... 1. washing a pair of jeans in the sink.... harder then you thought 2. bring a small bottle of clothes washing detergent next trip, soap doesn't work so well 3. don't bring so much **** next time..... now, for the very bad day. As some of you may know, the Alhambra is what Granada is known for. It is a very old Moorish (Islamic) temple, fortress, palace, etc ...

(S) The rain in Spain does not fall mainly in the plain. It also hits the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas in Granada. But even the rain and getting to the Alhambra at 7:30 am to wait in line for the doors to open at 8:30 couldn't dampen this amazing place. I think the rain made it all the more enjoyable. And we didn't even kill ...
