The big day finally arrived-June 2nd-when Annie, Brandt, and Mom would arrive in Granada! Day 1-Monday, June 2nd: Mary and I woke up in the morning and walked around Granada, going into a couple shops and exploring the streets. Then it was finally time to go and meet Mom, Annie, and Brandt at the bus stop. I got SO EXCITED when the bus pulled up I sprinted across the street to meet it (while Mary was shouting after me to not get hit). We got them unloaded and to...

The day has come, May 23rd, when my semester studying abraod in Granada is officially over. I can't begin to wrap my mind around how it is possible that time went by so quickly. It feels like just yesterday I was meeting my host mom for the first time and she was walking me down the street to show me where my school was. I remember how excited I was and as we were walking I was thinking "I am going to get to know these streets so well, and it will soon feel like ...

After the beach on Sunday, 4 of us (Jenny, Maegan, Hannah, and I) headed over to the soccer stadium to watch some Spanish fútbol. :) I loved the atmosphere of the game-everyone was so into it!

Saturday, Molly, Hannah, Maegan and I had a little adventure in Granada. We had heard that there was a place you could rent roller blades for only 5 euro, so we went on a search and found the store! After being strapped in and warned about our safety (they could tell we weren't experienced when we couldn't figure out how to put the skates on) we rolled on out! We had a blast just cruising along the sidewalks, trying not to crash into each other/face plant, and...

On Thursday night, some of us decided to head up to the top of the Albaicin (a neighborhood in Granada that is on a hill/mountain) in order to watch the sunset over Granada. It was by far one of my most memorable and amazing nights so far this semester. We met around 8 o'clock, grabbed some boxes of wine (and yes, I said boxes..we are classy girls) and hiked on up to one of the lookouts. We had a blast taking pictures, catching up with one another, and of course...
