Monasterio San Miguel Hotel Cádiz

Playa Bellena...that's where we spent our lazy Sunday. Manu drove Minds, Han, and I to the beach. While he went surfing we layed out in the sun. Minds and I were brave enough to go into the water and build a sand castle. We got a ton of looks from the locals because they thought it was wayyy too cold to be wearing a suit and going in the ocean! ...

Hello again! Thanks for all the comments, I'm happy it's so easy to share these pictures and stories with everyone. So the first weekend is winding down now, and it was quite a weekend. On Friday our two teachers took us on a tour through the city- a lot of fun, and we definitely needed the help with our horrible senses of direction. Anyways, we...

Cadiz.... quelle agréable surprise ! Cette ville m'a conquit avant même d'être arrivé. Cette longue bande de route qui mène à elle m'a laissé le temps pour exciter mon imaginaire; et quelle joie qu'elle fut à sa hauteur. Tout est à voir, à goûter, à sentir dans cette ville ! Et l'eau saline de l'océan se détecte depuis le parvis de la cathédrale.

Hello again!
As I said previously, I'm going to jump around a bit and not just go day by day in this blog. Therefore, this entry begins on September 19th on a train heading to Cadiz, Spain. This was my first adventure in Spain with my friends outside of Cordoba, my first excursion.
Honestly, I can't even remember exactly how I met all...

So today we didn't have an excursion because we had our own private tour guides in Rachel's host family from three years ago. They met us at the pier and were so happy to see Rachel it was great! They took us on a walking tour of historic Cadiz and we had breakfast at one of their places they like and we had churros an coffee with milk. Loly kne...

Lauren and Liz had a much earlier train ticket to Sevilla than Liz and I, so they headed out early while we slept. Around 11, we finally pulled ourselves out of bed, packed up, and checked out of the hostel. The day before, we had seen a sign in the cafe across the street from the hostel for a complete breakfast for 2 euros, so we headed over th...

As I have been suffering from "writer's block" Lesley has written the last two episodes. Now I have recovered we can return to the usual cynical and sarcastic pattern. And there has been plenty to be cynical about of late. And, fortunately, there has been plenty to enjoy as well. We arrived at Camping Paloma, near Tarifa, in sunshine. Blue skies...

My feet hurt and I think it is fair to say that I have walked more today than the last eight days combined! It's a good hurt though. J Today I woke up at 7:30 to watch us pull into port. It was so exciting to wake up and look out and see land! I showered and then headed out into Cadiz with Silvi, Ashley, Stef, Kelly, and Caroline. Cadiz forms a ...

From Vejer we drove to Cadiz. Setting foot in Cadiz is to finally leave the Costa de la Luz of trendy surfing culture, neat beach towns and any hint of touitist money... As Frisco put it, it's like Naples, but without the guns. UNemployment, crumbling buildings, sailors and builders sitting in the bars at 9.30 in the morning playing cards and kn...
