Hello everybody, I am skipping a lot by posting this particular blog. I still plan on posting the rest I just need to get this big one out of the way. This trip was kind of a last minute decision. My roommate Zak did a report on the Alhambra Palace in Granada while at his University, so talked about going to see it since he first arrived.

Hola! This summer I am studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain for a little over two months. In my journey to learn Spanish language and culture I plan to document my day to day experiences for myself as well as my family members. I hope to make this a trip I will never forget, so look forward to lots of uploaded photos and videos from a 21 year old's perspective of Spain.... full info

I need to visit Granada!
these photos are stunning Shane! Especially the one of those poor two disfigured boys... how sad for them to have such strange faces! I am glad you have found good uses for your new waterproof camera. It looks like the day you were there was beautiful as well - at least from the standpoint of photographs. I pity your roommate. It is hard enough to be sick but sick in a foreign country is REALLY uncomfortable and scary. I hate to say it ( well, not really) - that' s what he gets for a hair brained idea to get a brow piercing for the heck of it! speaking of doing things for the heck of it, it looks like your hair has grown back pretty nicely! We had several people over for a BBQ and I heard it was cold in McCall, so you didn't miss anything here. We all wish we were there! Keep the postings coming... we love them.

Missing You
How are you? Are you going to Boise before heading back to Tulsa? If so, when? Please let me know. I was thinking about going for a visit.

HI Shane! I was so interested to read about your travels. Your pictures of the palace are very enjoyable to look at. How is your Spanish coming along? I admire what you are doing. I look forward to seeing you when you return home. Love, Grandma
