... good. After that we walked to another tapas bar more in the historic center and it was about six fifty and my friend got a glass of wine, I got a 'jarra' of beer and our tapas was two bagel sandwiches, pasta, and fries. Pretty awesome. During the evening I went with the group to "a grand surprise", a flamenco show. It was alright but it felt very artificial. It was a group of Americans and a group of Japanese. That was the only audience. After ...

... and students were used to me coming it at that time, I didn´t think it was a good idea to switch my schedule around to English classes (not to mention the new schedule was horrible). Anyway, a gigantic argument began and they told me I didn´t think of this was a job and I wasn´t taking it seriously and I couldn´t go picking and choosing the classes that work for me just because I wanted to. And it is their job to do the schedule not mine so I should accept ...

... school year I had asked them several times why I was entering Science, Spanish Language, and Math classes when it seemed to make more sense to me to be helping in English classes. Then, they had thought that was a terrible idea...<br><br>So, the meeting was over and I asked Fernando and Carmen if we could meet regarding planning the new schedule to ensure it was as compact as possible. Well they blew me off again and said that they were really busy right then ...

... est en train de s'habituer à entendre cette langue, je comprends de plus en plus, mais j'ai encore de la peine à m'exprimer. <br>Envie de profiter de chaque seconde...<br>les nuits se rafraîchissent et un matin je découvre du givre sur mon chemin des toilettes... ggrrrr... le pipi du matin devient la première expédition de la journée!!<br>Je passe mes matinées à travailler dans la ferme, beaucoup de désherbage, y a un côté méditatif ...

... ordered coffee to drink while we ate the rest of our bolsas. About 10 minutes after we sit down, a man comes strolling up the street strumming his guitar and singing. He enters the cafe we were at, sits down and orders a beer, which he drinks while still playing his guitar. Isn't this exactly what Blanca, the professor who gave the introductory lecture on Andalucia, told us would NOT happen here? We were all pretty sure she had spent about 30 minutes telling us ...

My cold kicked in with a vengeance, today, so I was not a happy chappy. However my day did start brightly. We were in a hotel with elevators on the outside of the building, which were glass, so you could see inside. We were all in the bus waiting to start the day, except for "the deadbeats". So, we all watched them come down in the elevator, and then get off on the wrong floor. The whole bus is shouting "No, No, you retards ...

... trip back to Spain . Even before I had touched la tierra (the land), I was reminded of the hospitality that can be felt in spontaneous corners of conversation while traveling. I sat next to an older man and his son on my flight from Frankfurt to Malaga, Spain (the birthplace of Picasso). Nothing out of the ordinary in our in-flight chats, but the surprise came upon arriving ...

... back towards my hostel, a guy tries to get me to let him shine my shoes. and im wearing my cheepo pay-less leather shoes, but after three weeks on the road they were pretty scuffed up, so i thought what the hell, why not, and asked him how much it costs. he was being very dodgy on the question and after my repeated inquiries he said 1, 2, 3 euro whatever. so I thought ok cool. when he was done he held his hand out, and i gave him two euro, it ...

... I talked Kristin into a side detour into and olive grove that had a stone staircase winding up through it. This turned out to be a great find. It was a bright moon lit night, as we crested the hill top and found a break in a ancient stone wall, we were able to look over the city below. We turned around and realized that the Alhambra was lit up by spotlights. No pictures, but we will not forget the image anytime soon ...
