Hey Everyone! So this is sort of my fairwell blog to you all. I am in my last week of classes here in Spain and will leaving in two short weeks. I can´t believe how fast everything is going! I´m looking forward however to my month of traveling and visits. It should be a fantastic time and will have to tell you about it when I get back since I don´t have the time to really write in the next month. This past weekend I took my last trip with friends to Lagos Portugal. Our beach weekend was sadly full of [View Full Entry]

Hey everyone! So this is probably going to be my second to last entry, so brace yourselves :) My semester is going unbelievably fast and only have a few short weeks in Spain left. These past two weeks and also gone by super fast. We had another ten day break. (I wish La Crosse had this schedule!) So I went with a bunch of my friends on a six day tour to Morocco with a student travel agency here is Sevilla. (I also went with them to Gibralter) This was my first, and possibly last, trip to Africa and can not [View Full Entry]

Hello again everyone! So this week I will probably be a short note especially in comparison with last week. However I did get out of Sevilla for the weekend. On Thursday afternoon, two friends and I left for Madrid via the Spanish bus system. It was the second time I had taken the bus to Madrid and the first time I remembered it since I slept the whole time before. However this time since it was a day bus and actually wanted to see the sights this time I stayed up for the six hour ride. Upon arriving in Madrid we [View Full Entry]

Hello Everyone! First of all hope you all had a Happy Easter. It feels like such a long time since I wrote this but hopefully I´ll get back in the groove quickly. Two weeks ago we had our first nine day break. This one was for Semana Santa (holy week) which is a huge deal in Sevilla. There are people from all over that flock to the city. And as I had no intention of fighting crowds and paying high prices for things for nine days I took a wonderful trip to visit a friend of mine in Germany. I left [View Full Entry]

Hóla Todos So again I hope this finds you all happy and healthy and enjoying all that spring weather! Okay kinda of a jerk statement I´m still hearing about all the snow in the midwest.... Anywho if it makes you feel better the weather has been a little chilly here lately. I won´t tell you the degrees. This week was another five day week. (We only have class on fridays four times throughout the semester to make up for the fact that we get holy week off) During the week I went to the Museo de las Bellas Artes which had [View Full Entry]

So this weekend was my first trip outside of Spain (not counting Gibralter). A group of five of us went to Ireland for the weekend and met up with two of my friends from back home there. The journey started out at 12 pm on Wednesday night. We had to take a bus to Madrid and this was the only bus that we could actually get out of the city as Thursday was a regional holiday. So we took the seven hour bus ride, sleeping as much as possible. I found that I aquired my dad´s ability to sleep anywhere ;) [View Full Entry]

Well everyone it has been a busy week so hopefully I will have the patience to write down everything :) The computers here are so slow that after uploading all my pics I am almost going crazy lol. But anyways. This week was my first exam week in Spain. I guess you could say that it went pretty well. Two of my classes went really well and I learned that I clearly don´t understand Romantic prosa. (wah wah wah lol) But my teacher assured me that this is normally the worst exam. Anywho after those were done I went to my [View Full Entry]

Hey Guys! Like always, I hope you are doing well. Currently I am in my first exam week and for that reason I stayed in Sevilla over the past weekend. It was only the second weekend that I had spent here since my arrival a month ago. However, I did take a trip to Jerez de Frontera for the day on Friday. Jerez is a small town about an hour away by bus. The reason that this town is so famous is because of its Sherry Bodegas. This is the storage and processing place for many famous sherries and brandies for [View Full Entry]

Hey everyone! Here is blog number four. I don´t have too much new stuff to write about since last time. This weekend we went to Marbella on the Costa Del Sol. This is the southeastern region of Spain on the Med. Sea. We stayed it an apartahotel so we pretty much lived it up. We had our own kitchen, living room, dining room, nice bathroom, and terrace all right on the shore. It was awesome! I pretty much spent the weekend chilling at the beach. We walked along the coast all Saturday and then got Chinese for dinner and watched the [View Full Entry]

Hey Everyone, Sorry I haven´t written in a long time. It has been a somewhat crazy two weeks. First off, my roommate´s brother past away unexpectedly. Therefore I have been living alone with my señora for the past two weeks. She might be returning in the next couple of days but we are all still unsure about what she will decide. On a lighter note two weekends ago I went with five other people from my program to the city of Coróba. It was about a two hour train ride south east of Sevilla. We staying in a budget hotel also [View Full Entry]
