Grand Hotel Luna De 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 ...

... how it is. Many teachers don´t like their schedules but they don´t ask to change it because if all the teachers wanted a certain schedule to fit their needs it would be chaos, yada yada yada. Then they brought up the fact that I had gone to complain about them to the Delegation of Education in the first few days and that my actions had consequences and that Maria Dolores had been calling them every week to see how I was doing... news to me!<br><br> The ...

... br><br>I arrived to school the following Tuesday and asked Fernando if there was a time we 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. I was now to work Monday from 10:45 until 2 pm with a couple 30 minute breaks without classes in there then I ...

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 ...

... lunch and finished the day at an arabic cafe with some apple hookah. Today we went to the Alhambra, and spent 6 hours exploring the palaces, gardens and views. We could only imagine all those who roamed it before us. <br><br>Tomorrow we are off to Madrid... then possibly up to London or Paris next. We will keep you posted.<br><br>Love you all<br><br>PS- shout out to all the parents. Without your help we could have never experienced what we have thus far. We cannot thank you enough! xoxo

... draws near," noam chomsky's "fateful triangle," and robert fisk's "great war for civilization."  have also watched several documentaries including "taxi to the dark side," "standard operating procedure," and "no end in sight."   have even watched arab television on the web.  in the process, i have learned (not surprisingly) that there are many profoundly disturbing things that the american mainstream media does not tell us about.  but those ...

... an interest for New Zealand politics, but whatever, it's our blog)  Fueled by this exciting news, and a breakfast of coffee and cake from the cafe across from our pension, we bounced our way off to the Alhambra.  Forgoing the extensive exercise of hiking our way up the steep, steep hill, we took the mini bus and admired the bright and highly artistic graffiti which lined many of the tiny, winding streets.  Once we finally reached the summit of the hill, it ...

... time I got downstairs there was a huge line to check out. It reached literally all the way back to the elevators (25m). What was worse, is that there was only one man at the front desk checking people out. What were they thinking?? How was one guy supposed to check out the 300-something people who all needed to get to the Palacio which was fifteen minutes away? It's not possible, just in case you were wondering. After waiting ...

... another day to consider things, and decided that a santized day-tour of Morocco may just be what I need, and if after going, I was still interested and could handle myself, I would go. The tour was .... I don't want to say awful, so I will use the word "structured". We had no time to ourselves to walk around the Kasbah or the market areas, unless you count the time that I refused to go into the spice shop to learn ...

... Alhambra is absolutely stunning. WIthin the Nazarid's Palace, the intricately carved interiors, tiled walls, formal hedges, courtyard fountains, reflecting pools, all were incredibly beautiful, refined, exquisite. It has reached the pinnacle of elegance. Within the intimate scale of the courtyards one feels complete peace, comfort, and elegance ...
