February, Spain-style

Once upon a time, while it was blizzarding in Minnesota, I went to the beach. And not a scummy little lake “beach,” mind you: a real, live sand-and-salt-water bit of Mediterranean Sea. Tough life! It was to celebrate Andalusia Day, of course: Amy and ... Read more >

Well, I survived my first day at the University! Classes at the Centro (I’m taking three there) started a while ago, but my big girl class just began this week. It was pouring rain and still dark out when I left home this morning (7:30, gross), but I ... Read more >

The pre-Lent event of a lifetime

Mon, 19 Feb 2007 | By eitakg917 | Views [600]

So good to be back in Spain. It’s weird how after only a month, Anna and I were homesick for Granada while we visited France. What’s also weird: not being able to communicate! Especially after Madrid, where the accent is so clear, switching over to French ... Read more >

Segovia, etc.

Fri, 9 Feb 2007 | By eitakg917 | Views [493]

Segovia was a sweet little city, where we spent the morning/afternoon of the fourth and final day of our Spain adventures. First we went the El Alcázar, the castle where the Catholic queen Isabel grew up, back when Spain was just a bunch of regions, before ... Read more >
