Hey! Only have a couple of minutes, but i just wanted to update all of my devoted fans! Jill and I made it to Granada this morning. We´re in my school computer lab right now. I wanted to show the school to her! We have a busy schedule to follow though, so we´re on the move! Rome was awesome...got to see most of the major sites, which was really amazing! Had lunch with Monica and her mom today...paella! Both Monica and her mom like Jill´s eating habits better than mine already! And apparantly her Spanish pronunciation too! (She has the accent down...she has no idea what she´s saying...but she says it well!) Love you all! Coming home the day after tomorrow!!! Yea!!!! Os Amos! Carla B. & Jillian... read more
Hey all! So, met up with Jill yesterday and we started our European adventure! Yesterday we were in Madrid, which was cool and fun, except that we were both exhausted due to lack of sleep! lol Then last night we had our overnight bus ride to Barcelona, where we are at the moment. Barcelona is really awesome. We´ve done so many cool things just today. I´m really glad we came here! Especially all of the stuff around this city by Gaudi is really neat! He was an interesting dude! Jill now thinks that he is where English got the word ¨guady,¨ which technically I guess it could be. Tomorrow morning at the very evil hour of 5:00am we´re going to be on a bus heading for the airport to head for Rome!! That´s going to be ... read more
Hi All! Well, here I am...this time next week I´ll be over the Atlantic Ocean on my way back to all of you! And Jill is preparing to get on her flight in Philly right now! I´m not sure exactly how the situation is going to be with getting internet access or whatever while I´m on the road with Jill, but you know, I´ll try my best like usual! But, if I don´t get to write you all again while I´m in Europe....I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone who´s participated in making this travelblog work so well....It would not have been merely as much fun without having your comments to look forward to and knowing that you all were checking and reading it all the time! One of the last times ... read more
And in One More Jill Will be on Her Way!!! No puedo esperar! lol So, don't have to much to say today, except that this will probably be one of my last Spanish travel blogs. Today after lunch I'm going to begin packing! blah! Ill have to let you know how well that goes! lol A lot of the people in my program have been packing for a week already! But, in true procrastinating style, I have waited until my last two days in Granada! Well, like I said, I don't have too much to say today....can't wait to see you all very soon! Jill and I are going to have a blast this next week! I love you all! Carla B. ... read more
And Jill will be on her way in two! It is just after 12 noon here right now as I write this and I am done with final exams! I took my last one this morning...think I did pretty good on it too! All I have to do now is finishing writing the paper for my Geography Class, which needs like one more paragraph, and pack! Packing is going to take me forever! I haven't even started! I don't know how I'm going to do it, I really don't! lol Lucky me I have my sister coming over and she's going to bring me en extra suitcase! Not everyone has that kind of help! I bought my bus ticket to go up to Madrid and meet Jill yesterday! If all goes well I will be awaiting ... read more
Dinner with the Birthday Girl!
Trece! Menos que dos semanas! Y mi hermana esta aqui en menos que una semana! Este tiempo proxima semana Jill y yo estamos juntos! yea! (como se dice "yea" en espanol?) Que emociando! So, last night was one of the girls in our group, Jen Jamall's 21st birthday. In true American fashion most of our group got very drunk with her. The night started with 6 girls taking Jen out to dinner, myself included. Great dinner at a restaurant in Plaza Bibrambla (where the ice cream place is) followed by...ice cream! (highlight of my night!) lol Then, we went to a bar...where a good majority of the rest of our CEA group of 60 students joined us. I have lots of pictures of a lot of people I don't even know from our group because ... read more
And 8 until Jill comes!! You know, last week I couldn't understand why everyone around me was so excited to go home...they literally were wishing their time away. Now I understand, cause I'm soo excited for it. Not that I'm wishing my time away, no. I plan to make the most of my next week before Jill comes! I'm going sailing this weekend...that's going to be fun! I miss everyone, just want to say that...The week following when I get back is filling up so quickly with stuff I want to do and people I want to see! ' Not too much to report today...I took my grammar exam for Spanish today, and gave the presentation that counts for my oral exam too. They both went ok, so I think I did good. I only have ... read more
The Group at Lunch!
Hola! So, as many of you know, I spent one of my last two weekends in Granada at the beach! Yea! Laura and I went to Salobrena with a whole group of friends. There were eight of us in all that stayed in a small apartment really close to the beach. Put it this way, we could see the beach from the deck that the apartment had! Anyway, we left Friday morning and by about 1:00pm we were on the beach! The water was a little cool, but the beach was hot so it was nice, until your body went numb anyway. We all stayed the first night and then the next day a couple of the girls that came with us had to go back to Granada, so there were only five of us ... read more
