Hotel Macia Gran Via Granada

... fall I saw colors of Autumn. I love it. When we arrived to Granada the first thing that went through my head was that it was quite different than Malaga. The bus drive parked the bus in front of our hotel which was in the center of the city and we had about ten minutes to go to the bathroom. I did that but then I thought that I would have gotten a better first experience in Granada by quickly leaving the group and walking down the road. I´m glad ...

... reasonable... if I only have to prepare materials can I come early on Tuesday and do it then? No. Then another 30 minute argument began. There is just no flexibility.

Juan really helped me think about things differently though and ...

So I began with a brief summary with a year with them thus far... Confusion and frustration at the beginning, then a month later some understanding and acceptance of what I was supposed to be doing and then I felt in my ...

... 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...

... Liz and I decided to head into a restaurant right next to the church. Even though it was about 3 hours too early for dinner in Spain, we wanted to be sure we would have a table with a nice view of the Alhambra as the sun was setting. We had been looking forward to a night where we could sit with a bottle of wine and talk for several hours, and now seemed as good a time as any. We enjoyed a fantastic rose wine from Riojas, and I had a salad while the others ...

... lost their hold on Spain after centuries of ruling it. These African-originated Moors lived in the hills of Granada, but were defeated by Christians seeking to regain control of the region. The defeated king at the time was soundly thrashed but managed to flee back to Africa. Now, if that weren't bad enough, as they fled the city, his mother lambasted him with the following words: "Now you can weep like a woman for the land you could not defend as a man ...

WHAT THE HELL?!??!??!??!?!?!?! WHY ME!??!?!?!?!?!?! after what seemed ...

... and fly home from there, however we had to return to Madrid a day earlier than planned and fly home from there. The flight from Barcelona was oversold. So we had to get our luggage ready for 2 nights on the train. While readjusting my parents passports were misplaced. We spent quite a bit of time trying to locate them again and missed our alloted time to eat our included breakfast buffet. So after finding the ...
