La vida en Espana

---

Hola from Spain!

Hope everyone is doing good and that it is getting a little bit warmer over there, so that you all aren't freezing. The weather here has been a little cold this past week and it has rained for the past 3 days. In the city where it never rains... where there are never even clouds in the sky! It is crazy. The people here say that they haven't seen this much rain in years. But, I suppose it is better than the freezing coldness at home. I have been pretty busy lately. I finally have pictures of Malaga for you all to see. I have also gone to Nerja, a little tourist town very close to Malaga where they have these cool caves. We also went to Cordoba, a city about 2 hours north of Malaga where we saw this mosque that is thousands of years old. It was really cool. I am only going to put up the pictures from Malaga in this entry because i have a lot of them. I will definately put up the pictures from Narja and Cordoba pretty soon. I have to go through all of the pictures first and limit the ones that I put up, so that you guys don't have like a million pictures up there like I have been putting up. I am going to start going through the pictures first, and limiting the ones that I put up. Sorry about that so far... I will put up less from now on. I have been really busy lately especially since my elective classes have started. I now have 2 hours a grammar everyday and 1 hour each of spanish literature and spanish culture. The classes are really fun, and I feel like I am learning a lot. I hope that I am learning enough spanish, but it is really a lot harder than I though it would be. Well, I guess that is all for now, I will defintely put up more pictures soon!

Love you all and miss you lots!

We figured that this can be the only place that we can go that is americanish... just every once in awhile to feel like we are at home.

El Corte Ingles is the most fabulous store ever. Everyone in Spain loves it. It is a hugh store that has a department store, a hardware store, a grocery store, a home decorating store, a bookstore, a travel agency, a photo developing center, a book store, and basically anything else that you could ever want or need. It is 7 stories tall and takes up a whole block. It also streatches underground to the other side of the street and there is a smaller 3 story building over there. It is amazing.

This is on the bridge that I walk over every day... you can't see the "river in this picture though"

The "river"... well, at least what used to be the river. That little bit of wat that you see is what washes up there from the tide of the sea.

Calle Larios is a really pretty street with lots of nice shops and stuff. It is really nice... and notice that the road is actually tiled. This is the only street like that, but all the sidewalks in the whole city are tiled.
