With only a few hundred kilometers left of spanish coastline to cover, we enjoyed the day cruising through the small towns that lay between Finisterre and Baiona. We camped out just north of the Portugal boarder, deciding to tackle a new country and language after a good night´s rest. Our fisrt encounter with people from Portugal was at a carny...and yes there are even midgets in Portugal. We quickly discovered that portugese is not an easy language to fake. You should´ve seen us trying to order a round of hot dogs. Later in the day we pulled into a busy campsite [View Full Entry]

Después de valorar múltiples hostels en la zona del Main Bazar, zona de mochileros, hemos reservado en el Ajay Guest House, simple y llanamente por que tiene una terrazza y, por la foto del luggage room que no tiene desperdicio, deben estar orgullosos de tener un espacio así para poner las maletas y colgar la foto en internet....es curioso...os reto al juego de las diferencias...sospechosamente en el hotel Hare Krishna la foto del Luggage room me es muy familiar....

We went on a tour of the two cathedrals in Salamanca today. In most places, when one cathedral is too old or too small, they tear it down and make the next one where the old one was, luckily that wasn't the case in Salamanca. They have two cathedrals, one named Catedral Viejo and the other is Catedral Nuevo (the old and new cathedral). They are connected to each other, so we had a tour of them both, passing from one to the other. My pictures didn't turn out that great because we weren't allowed to have the flash on inside, [View Full Entry]

Hi everyone. I'm sitting in my room right now, browsing online with my balcony open as it is every day, the sounds of cars and spanish/catalan chatter becoming as normal as silence at this point. I'm tired. Today is the 19th day I have been in Barcelona. I only have about 10 more days left! To say time has gone by quickly is an understatement. I wish I could have at least another month here. It feels like I'm just now settling in--I don't need to look at a map before I go out, I'm starting to know club/bar schedules here, [View Full Entry]

The day I arrived, there was a huge gay parade going on Gran Via. It was a huge festival, everybody drunk and happy, so I got lost in a crowd a bit too, even though I don't really care about the subject, but it seems I wasn't the only one. Most people just seemed to be out to drink. My first impression was that all people are very nice and don't have many issues and during the following days my impression established. The people in Madrid are indeed very cool and always willing to help one. First night i was showed [View Full Entry]

Above are some examples of things people think of when they think of SPAIN. It is all true, to various degrees. But most of that is Andalusian imagery. And a completely other world [View Full Entry]

What a long week. We had classes 5 days this week, rather than the normal 4 to make up for a festival day we had off during our first week here. After classes Friday, we went on a little field trip just in town to learn more about Segovia. First, we went to the cathedral. It’s right in the plaza mayor. I’m sure I’ve posted pictures of the plaza with the cathedral in it. It was the last gothic style cathedral built in Spain. It took 200 years to complete (1500-1700ish). On top of all that, it is the tallest cathedral [View Full Entry]

Hola familia, y amigos, Can you believe I’ve already been here 3 weeks. When it’s time I’ll be ready to come home but there is still a lot I have to see and do. Hope the weather has improved in Michigan. It was actually a little cold here this weekend. This past Friday we toured the caste again ( the school never told us we were going there, so I went twice) and the main cathedral. I have enclosed pictures of the cathedral. It is a gothic cathedral which was built in the 16th and 17th centuries and was the [View Full Entry]
