The older I've gotten the faster time seems to fly by and my month so far in Spain has been no exception. I feel like it was just yesterday that I walked through the door of my host family's apartment here in Alicante and now I will be ... Read more >

Week 3:: Sweet, Simple and way too wordy...

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 | By missmelissa | Views [574]

It´s unbelievable how quickly the past week has flown by and even harder to imagine that one week from now I will be settling into my new home in Madrid. My first week in Alicante seemed to crawl by as I struggled to overcome jetlag and adapt to ... Read more >

Hemingway spent a number of years here and Rainier Maria Rilke called it something along the lines of 'Heaven here on earth.' (Not to be confused with Belinda Carlile's chart-topping song of 1987.) One of the best things about Seville was the ... Read more >
