Today after school we took a trip to the caves of nerja. They are extremely old and the first inhabitants of the Nerja area lived in them. The rock formations were really cool and there are supposedly wall paintings of animals but we were unable to see them. It was a pretty interesting tour but extremely crowded due to its popularity... read more

Well hello x x I arrived on time with absolutely no problems. It is so weird to think how different life can be within only a matter of 11 hours. Firstly I must tell you about my last Day in Bangkok, I was so sad to be leaving but keep myself busy getting beautifed, having my last massage and eating great food. I went back to the GH, the one I stayed in on the very first night in Bangkok almost 7 Months ago. I put on my backpack and with my head down I walked out into the chaos that is the Koah San Road.....I looked up and who was standing there??? Cyn my Thai friend I met in Khorat, she works at the school owned by Suwan and Keith from Leicester!!!! I just could ... read more

We got out of class early Friday so we took a daytrip to the the European resort town of Nerja. It was a hour and a half bus ride from Malaga. In Nerja we visted the Cuevas de Nerja (Nerja caves).

27th September 2007 Our late arrival back to Nerja (or early morning) took it’s toll on us and we had a very late start to the day. We had planned to visit some caves in the area but that got shelved because we cold not get ourselves up and running. Instead we spent the day lazing by the pool, drinking more beers and relaxing. Lorenza and I took another spin through the town looking in a few shops. We came across one which sold some lovely Flamenco dresses, very expensive but absolutely beautiful fabric and design. Even though they realised we had no intention of spending 1500 euro on a dress the ladies in the shop were only too happy to show us the variety of different designs they sold. They were spectacular dresses, but back ... read more

Hola! All is welll here. I´m still enjoying my Spanish class and my host family. Everyday my host family gets better and better. Today I met their grandaughter who is 2.5 years old and takes flamenco dancing lessons. She´s adorable. My host parents are 80 years old and sometimes they stay up/out later than Amanda and I do. Spain has such a unique schedule.. One really neat part about Granada is that there´s a strong Jewish, Christian, and Muslim history here. There´s a huge cathedral and mosque but also there are tiles with the Star of David on the sidewalks. There´s a large student population (50,000) that attend different universities in Granada. I´ve already fallen in love with Granada and this is just the first stop. We took a day trip to Nerja, a beach about ... read more
