On Studying Abroad

So, the last three weeks or so have been a whirlwind. I don't have the memory to tell what happened each day, but I'll try for a brief summary. Here we go:

Morocco

Well, my first trip to Africa was a success. Last Wednesday night, I took the bus to Granada, to meet up with another branch of my study abroad program. Our bus left from Granada at 03:00, and I fell asleep until morning.

Primavera Pop, Toledo, Tranquility, Real Madrid and More
