Yesterday, Hannah and I went to the famous Science park of Granada (El parque de las ciencias). It was really cool. There were a countless number of exhibbits and we didn't look at all of them because there were just too many. We wennt to the butterfly house, which was like a makeshift rainforest with butterflies in it; the human body exhibit, which had a bunch of different ways of showing you how your body worked like lungs and vocal cords; a nutrition display w...

On Wednesday my study abroad group took a walk through the neighborhood next to the Alhambra called Albaicin. It was a beautiful place and I actually liked it just as much as The Alhambra itself!

The lookout view at the top had people selling things like paintings and jewelry, which all was really pretty and I wanted to buy eve...

Its nickname is "The Tenth Wonder of the World." It is most...

My study abroad group and I got to take a 3 hour long hike through the breathtaking scenery of this trail. There were crazy high cliffs, pretty streams, and some of the most awesome landscape that I have ever seen before. We even got to see wild cows and one even felt like blocking our path! I felt like we were in the movie "Leap Year" trying to go arou...

The coolest thing was definitely going to church in West Minster...
