Husa Ceylan Salamanca

... blocks on each side and was lit up to accentuate the beauty of the architecture. If I lived in Salamanca I would most definitely want to spend as much time as possible in the Plaza as there is much shopping and eating to be done around its edges. However I was told that sadly, though the architecture is beautiful and the apartments are so centrally located to the city, so many of the apartments (pisos in Spanish) are up for sale. It appears that no one wants to ...

I don't like spending the money but I'm going to be freezing all day in class if I don't get some stuff to wear. I guess I'll at least have a nicer, dressy coat when I get back to the states.

Nothing much to update. I uploaded a few more pictures from Salamanca that didn't fit onto the last entry.

In the morning, we went on an excursion to Salamanca, Spain. It's about 1.5 hours southwest of Valladolid. The city is absolutely gorgeous. The architectural integrity of the whole city is just amazing. It's known for it's university...which was one of the biggest and first universities to emerge in Spain. Also got to see an amazing church. The inside took my breath away. There is just no comparison to this in ...

Almost a week visiting Andre in Salamanca!

It´s even hotter here than it was in Malaga- of course with the oceanbreeze lacking!
So I spend most of the days at the public pool wich has a great view of the cathedral... enjoying reading a lot!!!
Of course I also went sightseeing- although I already know Salamancas sights - having been here for the 3rd time. But still I am always fascinated by the old builidings, the university, the library, the ...

... old, blond haired and blue eyed, and has been living here ever since she met her Spanish husband after studying abroad for a summer. That's right.....met her SPANISH HUSBAND after STUDYING ABROAD (*sighs* there IS a chance that I'll be able to marry Enrique...). After settling and creating a family here in Salamanca, Sherri joined up with Cortland to become the substitute Mother for hundreds of US students that go through ...

Ainaz´ New Blog: www.travelpod.com/members/ainaz Oh man, where to begin?! So much has happened in the last week. Jake has been battling some severe medical ailments, I've met some great folks, had some of the most challenging riding on this trip thus far and have persevered through the hottest weather I have experienced to date. So the ride over the Pyranees was apparently too much for Jake. My bottom bracket (connects the two cranks) finally was worn to the point of ...

My arrival in Salamanca was much different from those of Madrid and Toledo. I still had the excitement, but overpowering the excitement were nerves. My hands and legs were shaking with angst on the entire bus ride to Salamanca. As soon as we arrived, we each met our host family--the Spanish-only speaking family that my roommate and I would be living with for two weeks. Next, we went to their home--a third story flat about a 5 minute car ride from the plaza mayor. Their ...

... don't think candy is quite as big of a deal here either. There are definitely a lot of advertisements by restaurants and such. My roommates and I decided to cook dinner for our family here for Valentine's Day. However, because Thursdays are busy days for our whole family, we are going to do it tomorrow. It should be a lot of fun, and we are even going to decorate a bit!

... pop up in front of my face during dinner. I bring this up because I think it´s an important element to Spanish culture. At one point during the fight, the bull tackled the torreo, and the fight was paused. He (the bull fighter) was taken out of the stadium in a stretcher, into a little silver room. He was injured fairly severely as the bull kicked him in the face and from the look on his face, he was in a tremendous amount of pain. After a few minutes, he walked out of the room ...
