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:

10.6.10

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.

Salamanca Part Two, Ávila and Cuenca



Well, last weekend I went to Salamanca again, this time with the Americans. We got up Friday morning and met in Moncloa, at the Metro stop. We loaded the bus and headed towards San Lorenzo de El Escorial. It's about an hour [by bus] from Madrid, and there's not much in the town. Oh, except for the gigantic granite monastery.

Primavera Pop, Toledo, Tranquility, Real Madrid and More


Well, there seems to be a trend forming here. Another week, another post. Last week was pretty cool, but nothing crazy really happened. I kind of like it. I believe we last left off on Thursday night, so here goes:
