Cádiz

 Europe » Spain » Andalusia » Cádiz
Yesturday morning, a group of about 25 from our program hopped on a train to Cádiz at 11am. The bus ride was about an hour and a 1/2 and when we got there we went straight to our hostel to check in. Hahaha you would not believe this place we stayed in. I couldn´t believe they fit our whole group. The owner of the place was from England i think and most of the other employees were from english-speaking countries. (austrailia, new zealand, u.s.... and more)... after checking in, we headed to the beach for the day. It was beautiful out... [View Full Entry]

After school yesturday Beth and I headed home. we have decided that what gets us through the school days are wondering what delicious food señora will be preparing for lunch that day. for lunch we have a HUGE bowl of lentil soup and bread and then some things called croquetas which a like deep-fried little nuggets that are filled with creamy cheese and ham. then we had salad and some other little pastry type things filled with tomato paste stuff. haha. it was delicious. after lunch we needed a little rest... and at 5pm we met up with 3 girls from [View Full Entry]

So far...

First day of class was today! This morning at 10am I just had one class... art history. Our professor seems really nice and helpful... and if there is anything we don´t understand he explains again. I had no idea what to expect for class, but I walked in this morning and found out that our entire class for art history is me and 2 other students hahaha.... Ryan is one of them, and another girl we met named Michelle. I think all of the classes have less than 15 students in them... at least that´s how it sounded today. We´ll see [View Full Entry]
