La Visite a Granada

 Preciosa

-->

¡Hola!

            This past weekend, I traveled to Granada with my program! We took a 4ish hour bus ride to the mountainous (and cold!) region of Granada. We got the opportunity to visit el Alhambra (visit http://www.alhambra.org/eng/index.asp?secc=/alhambra/history_alhambra ß for more info about the history!), the oldest neighborhood in Granada, el Centro, a crazy weird contemporary art museum, and el Capillo Real. El Capillo Real is where los Reyes Catolicos are buried. This chapel is HUGE, and so so beautiful. After our visit there, I had some of the best conversations I can remember to date with my friends as we strolled around town.

            I also started class this week, so I’m finally going to get into a real schedule! Along with this, I got to meet my intercambio, Marta, who is a Sevillano learning English. Today we spoke in Spanish for an hour, then in English for an hour. I’m very excited to continue immersing myself in this language throughout the semester as I break away from a typical American way of life and thinking and adopt the Spanish lifestyle.

     Estoy emocionada celebrar el Carnaval en Cadíz este fin de semana y para visitar Caramona, un pueblo fuera de Sevilla. ¡Debes ver los fotos en Google sobre el Carnaval, es como Mardi Gras para los Españoles! Es algo muy alegria en vez de los huelgas y el crisis.

Saludos,
