I thought it was cool how there was a picture there of Canyon de Chelly all the way in Spain. I don't even thing Canyon de Chelly is a well known place in general.

It makes more sense since you are in Year 0 of Binligualism" And they both looked at her like she had the best idea ever! "That would make things so much easier!" they said smiling. I was just sitting there silently enraged since at the beginning of ...

... je dors dans une caravane, dans le jardin, j'ai une casita, c'est chouette!  J'investis très rapidement les lieux... Ca me fait beaucoup de bien de me poser dans un endroit si calme, et rempli d'une belle énergie de vie! La vie simple de la campagne me plaît.. A côté de la caravane, se trouve une douche solaire (yeah!) et des toilettes sèches!! décidément y a tout pour me plaire ;-) J'essaie de parler espagnol, je sens que mon ...

... of ham and cheese sandwiches and cookies, I was enjoying the gastronomical delights of a natural, flavor-packed, hydrating meal. Muchisimas gracias, Maru.<br><br>Upon arrival in Granada, around 2 in the afternoon, we were given a few hours of free time to relax, get lunch or do whatever we wanted. I headed out with a few girls to walk around and look for a cafe. We finally found an empty one in a pretty little plaza right up against the back of the cathedral ...

... Real World" experience, where the 16 of us will all live together, cook/eat together, and have a week of work challenges together for a week. Then I will be exploring around Europa for another week looking for adventures and life lessons about different cultures. It should be interesting!

... wouldn't be as bad. unfortunately no one told me i would have to get in line an hour before hand, to trade my confirmation number in for an actual paper ticket, (hmmm long lines, and crowding also sounds like that other land in CA). so needless to say, i missed my given appointment. that was strike one on the day. but i was able to get a ticket for entry at 230pm. nice and hot, and really crowded. OK, kinda ****** and bummed at this time. as I'm ...

... an expensive tourist restaurant (the only place open during this time). The people have been great so far. Most are happy to help, if you use a little Spanish. We avoid the tourist businesses and try to finds the ´real people and sites´; this has worked out great for us. Only a few places have been annoyed that we do not speak fluently. After a late nights of tapas and wine we wondered towards our 2nd nights hostel up by ...
