San Pablo 18 Baeza, Andalusia, Spain and Canary Islands, 23440, 953-74-72-00
... merge back onto the Autoroute. Instead it went left under the Autoroute and into a traffic circle. It took us 10 minutes to realize that in order to get back onto the Autoroute, you had to go under it, go around the roundabout, back under the Autoroute and then through another roundabout to get back on. If you’re confused now, join the club…I keep going over it in my mind and I still can’t figure it out. <br><br>We ...
Jódar, Andalusia, Spain kochwebb... language school where people 16 and over can take night courses in English and other languages where another auxiliar from the US is teaching. My students take so many of their core and elective courses per semester in English, I believe three or four, so I will be teaching lessons on my own as well as assisting the other teachers in various subjects in English. I begin on Oct. 1st and will have much more to tell then! We then took the bus out to Villa Gordo...literally Fat Village ...
Jaen, Spain manningra... it ever since. We also learned just the other day that you can also get it with just cold carbonated water instead of Fanta, but why would you do that? :-) So basically it's a wine-cooler, but somehow classier, and it is SO good. It turns out that you can actually buy it pre-mixed in 2-liter bottles at the supermercado, because Mercedes brought a bunch home one day when we mentioned that we like it. The pre-mix is not quite as good ...
Ubeda, Spain fritzandjenny... happy. Along the walk we kept seeing signs that read "Coto de Pesca sin Muerte." For non Spanish speakers, these words translate to "boundary of fish without death." Fish without death? Wow. This must be a special place. It got pretty hot in the afternoon, and Jenny almost took a dip in the invitingly cool river. The bridge wasn't the best entry point ...
Cazorla, Spain fritzandjenny... as well as when we arrived. Also, we rarely pass up an opportunity to improve our skills in the kitchen, and this has been a golden opportunity. Merche has taught us to make gaspacho, tortilla española, albondigas and croquettas. Unfortunately, the last 2 usually require a deep-fryer, (Merche has a countertop model-about the size of a bread maker) but we will experiment when we get back home. We have had such a fabulous time in the kitchen and ...
Ubeda, Spain fritzandjenny... a healthy three. He was very entertaining to watch. After walking for a while Moses and Ramon joined us for beers and tapas at an outdoor restaurant. We spent the rest of the evening there, sipping our beers and sampling all the different free tapas that came with each round of drinks. After four rounds we had sampled quite a bit, but Paco wanted us to try something called Morcilla. Neither he nor Mercedes could describe quite what it was, but ...
Ubeda, Spain fritzandjenny... Also, I had saved the letter to Mercedes and Paco on my thumb drive so that we could at least look up the address and see where Laura had lived. Furthermore, we were ready to get away from the more touristy areas. The incident with the gypsy in Granada made that clear. But also, in the big cities, it's possible to get by without any Spanish at all. With the slightest look of confusion from us, natives would switch to ...
Ubeda, Andalusia, Spain fritzandjenny... them more money than they get from the evil exploitative Nestle. One of their ideas has been to set up a `home stay programme` with neighbouring families. Travellers have the opportunity to live and experience daily family life in the countryside, be part of a well established community, join in with traditional farming, artesania, gardening and agricultural techniques, cook Ecuadorian food and practice their Spanish. We forgot to read the part that asked for a ...
Baeza, Ecuador cathandnick... could have to patience to build such things. The mosaic tiles that covered the walls were absolutely wonderful and the marble floors shined still 800 years after they had been laid. The place was crawling with tourists, but for a good reason. We spent about six hours wandering the grounds of the castle. It was hot, we were hungry, and Henry was starting to arbitrarily scream at the top of his lungs. So we headed off to the city to grab some ...
Granada, Spain natecropp... complex for dead people...many floors of row upon row of body compartments...it was like a miniature city of apartments...i found out that if your family doesnt keep up with the "rent" for more than one year, they will promptly take apart your room, and dispose of you elsewhere...not that you would really notice i guess... next we took a taxi to the top of the hill, where the virgin mary angel over looks quito(apparently here, she has wings--in revelations i ...
