... what it meant to be a Russian Jew, someone who in one context sees himself as Jewish, in other contexts as Russian. It was exactly the kind of conversation we were hoping to generate as this group began wrestling with their own sense of self. One student had a crisis of identity when we talked about the number of Jewish practices that have folk or pagan roots-things like breaking glasses at weddings or hanging mezuzot on the right side of the doorframe. Jews got very ...

... helped. We got there and took a tour with this funny British guy with a very interesting sense of humor that it took us Americans a while to pick up on. We went to a famous bridge there over this tiny river (because of the drought). We went to the Jewish quarter and took pictures of the most taken picture there. The tour guide joked that we wouldn't be allowed out of Cordoba if we didn't take a picture of it. We went to a beautiful old ...

... India to Spain in the 9th through the 15th century. That kind of experience amassed over 600 years and a gigamillion miles must really make a person want to sing about everything. Ok here's my theory. There are no fat people in Spain. Probably in all of Europe but I only have data for one country, actually one neighborhood in one city in one country. I do have one other outstanding theory from when I went to Turkey, about how all the ...

... being the biggest. We relaxed and each got a 15 minute massage for 2 hours...and then went and got on the bus to come home to Granada. Sorry I didn't describe the history behind these more, but there is so much to say and I have very little time since I'm studying for the first Exam (out of 3) for our Civilization and Culture class. Love from spain, -Elise-

Today we took a tour of the Alhambra. Man! The sultan built himself a sweet pad complete with 36 wives whom all were beheaded because one of the betrayed him and he didn´t know which one. Now datz cold! We left Granada in the evening for the resort town of Alicante on the coast of Mediterranean Sea. Maybe ...

... dispensa utilissimi consigli su tutto, il mangiare, la pensione, il percorso. Sa tutto. Prossimo sindaco. Alla sera ci accasiamo al ristorante Plaza del España, facciamo festa con due litri di sangria ed una collezione di tapas formidabili: Alcachofas con lomo, Lomo con jamon e Tortillas. Per la prima volta chiedo una razione intera, di alcachofas. Canzone del giorno : Word in spanish di Elton John. Ispirata dalla simpatia di Charlene e dalla sua parlata spagnola.

... I've just committed. Surely I owe you more? Oh well." I strolled over to another little bodega - different than the Gran Café, but interesting looking in a slightly seedier fashion. I ordered a cerveza and received with it a fried egg and hot sauce on a bagel-kinda-thing alongside patatas bravas. "Good Lord!" When I asked the bartender how much I owed, he mistook me and brought another beer and a plate of sausages with more fried potatoes. I had planned on having a nice dinner ...

... shuttles into Granada, up to the Sierra Nevada, and out to the beach. It will have five bedrooms, a fantastic living room looking out at the mountains, and another pool, which is apparently essential in the summer here. He has been working on it for over a year and thinks it will be done in another two years. He has done all this amazing stone work himself. I now understand what is occupying all his time in "el campo." Both of the houses are at the top of a ...

... track, and about 45 minutes after leaving the bus station I walked into the hostel. Of course they wouldn´t let me check in yet, so I hurried outside and found a spot in the shade. As I sat there another traveller came by and kept me company. He was from New Zealand. I immediately put a smile on my face and happily shared my Kiwi-stories with him... I could even tell him about some places, where he hadn't been yet. I guess it is quite ...
