My Semana Santa (Spring Break) was absolutely AMAZING! The trip was with The University of Granada so a group of about 30 of us including me and other Spanish students and stafff from the university hopped on down to Africa for a week. Day 1: I started off Friday morning by leaving at 3:30am to catch the 4:00 bus that we would be taking to Morocco. The first hour or so I was so shy and scared that I was like why did I do this why did I do this why did I do this-...

They served us our food in such a fancy way that we ...

During the second hour me and one or two other voluneers tak...

We were taking pictures non stop and then explored all of the other rooms inside the monestary. Y...

I got another slice of home this weekend! Dustin (who is studying abroad in Hull, England) and I met up in Brussels, Belgium. We had a fabulous time exploring, eating, and catching up with one another! I flew into Brussels Friday afternoon and Dustin got there around midnight. I got to have some quality alone/relaxing time while I was waiting for him (in our lovely apartment rental) which included listening to Spanish music videos, going to the super market to g...
