Jardines De Lorca

... mountains...I have to say, Spain is very mountainous. The route through the mountains has some lovely views but some of the roads are a bit scary with very narrow roads, steep drops off the sides and a couple of very steep and sharp hair-pin bends that are not easy to negotiate in the camper van, especially with no power steering.

After visiting the old town which is not very spectacular, we went down to the Port.
The ...

... and the Spainish.

Anyway, we were soon off the motor way and back on our loving country roads. The best thing about country roads is that there is always loads of fruit growing and today we managed to score some, normally expensive, melons! AWESOME. Definitely the best stolen fruit yet. But then we hit a serious mountain range, no clouds and a 40 degree heat. Honestly the ...

Last night we went to a spanish beach bar which was right on the beach no English people were there and non of the bar staff spoke English which i really like! I like to see a country from the locals no touristy areas.

Today we went to the Puerto de Mazzron in the day we got a bus down which was half hour late! We went to a restaurant which we had previously been ...

... all the back roads which were terrible and really bad and bumpy. We arrived on the port and went to a pub which was run by an English women, stayed there for one drink and then went for a walk there was a spanish punch and judy show (In spanish) we stood and watch that for ten minutes! It was strange because it was 11:15pm and there was spanish kids everywhere still up and it was packed ...

... selling these long things which looked like long thick chips. I wasnt that good at spanish to ask what they were so i just went a pointed saying una! She said Ingles and i said yes she gave me one portain( six sticks) and i put sugar on them as i saw other people doing

They were very nice it was like donut dough in a long stick which was fried, I later found out by my nan that they were called Churrioes.

Then we went back layed by the pool that night we had dinner at me nans.

... of Puerto De Mazzron the temperture of the sea was perfect although it worried me a bit seeing a jelly fish in the sea.

We arrived at a bar on the beach right on a the corner where an island was sticking out and decided to sit there and have a drink. I ordered a Cevasa which is spanish for beer he had bit trouble understanding because i didnt pronounce it properly but i got what i wanted eventually.

It was a nice spanish ...

A mix of big town madness with busy streets and confusing parking bays before siesta and a dozy old world charming village if you climb to the Church of the true cross atop the hill and return to the old town during siesta. Apparently a miracle brought a piece of Christ's actual cross to this location, that the angels chose this rather lost, off the beaten track location tells me that the miracle was that those two winged messengers even managed to find Spain.

... Friday night to Murcia to a small bar/club, only to find that we were a spectacle for the Spaniards. Imagine me a 5ft 5in girl walking in a club with a 6ft 6in black man, a 6ft 11in white guy and a 6ft 1in black man!!!! Unfortunately the race relations in this area are not the best, and we got plenty of stares. This club was completely packed and where ever the guys stood, an area would clear out (which I guess was kind of nice ...

... getting a free map at the tourist office close to the corte ingles didn't seem that easy...10 min and 3-times walking around the Corte ingles later - I finally found the tourist office. I marked all the cool stuff on the map I wanted to see - Murcia has hundreds of churches and "convents" I think those are nunneries. I was really lucky - the church services had just finished ...

... and our vocabulario. I´m in a clase called ¨Syntax y Morphology.¨ i have shortened it to ¨S&M.¨ I have the same profesora for this clase as well. I have learned mas from her than from any other clase thus far. En la clase de arte, es interesante because I learn el vocabulario en espanol and that´s bueno and everything but when I return to los estados unidos and go to churches there, I ONLY know el vocabulario en espanol...no en ingles. But this clase is also ...
