Hesperia Alicante Golf & Spa Hotel

So today is our last day and we are both ready to be done with it! We arrived not until noon in Alicante and we had reserved an excursion to see two towns near Alicante. One was Jalon and is famous for Muscatel wine and the other was Aleta famous for nothing except that the tour guide lives there. So this day turned out to be a double holiday in Spain and ...

... of Biscay which can be very stormy, fingers crossed it will be a fine crossing. We land at 8.00 am Friday morning and then we drive across Spain to the Costa Calida where we plan to spend a few weeks in a small Spanish village called Roldan, then we move on to a town called Lo Pagan,<br>

... 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>

So today was the first day of the official CIEE program in Alicante, Spain. I realize now just how freaking lucky I was to have Elizabeth as my travel companion. I'm so glad it worked out well. We like exploring and we both have enough guts to get us around as well as we're on the same schedule when going out and about around the town and we were able to discover quite a bit just on our own in the last two days in Alicante ...

... no choice we planned to cycle 5 miles down the motorway to get to the next town (no other option mum, blame the Spanish for poor project management and wasting money on statues of imaginary people)<br><br>Highlights: <br>We asked someone watering there garden for water and she took us into her house and gave us threee unopened botttles of mineral water.<br><br>we made lemonade from liberated lemons and water.<br><br>Lowlights:<br>The lemonade tasted like ****<br>

... chercher nos salles, puis nos places puis les réponses ... sur les copies des voisins (non non cela ne me concerne pas!). Bien évidemment, la situation dans laquelle s'est déroulé mon examen était un cas particulier dont je vous épargnerai les explications qui ne sont intéressantes que pour mes vrais amis qui s'intéressent à ma vie et à mes études (... :p ). Sinon j'ai eu aussi les résultats de quelques autres mati ...

... suis quand même aller à la fac durant cette semaine! La "fac"? pfff très négatif comme terme quand on a en tête les "facs" françaises. Je devrais plutôt dire le campus !! Afin de fidéliser mes lecteurs, je ferai un descriptif plus exhaustif de cet magnifique (l'utilisation de cet epithète n'est pas exagéré croyez-moi:) ensemble universitaire plus tard et en attendant ...

... To have thousands of visitors in the winter was a big deal and the town was buzzing. The girls and I hung out at the beach until Victor was finished with the race. No, he didn't win: a Kenyan man did. The Kenyans always win. Alicante In the afternoon we made the short trip to Alicante for lunch. We had steamed mussels (surprisingly good), cuttlefish with vinegar (very good), grilled artichokes, potatoes ...

... castle ... or so we thought. There is an escalator you can take most of the way up, but it was broken. And the access from the beach was also closed, so it took us a while to find access from the old town. We also received conflicting directions from different people. <br><br>We finally managed to find a path and hiked ... and hiked ... we followed a path to nowhere that took us to the base of the castle walls, with no safe way of entering ...
