VIAJE SEPTIMO Y OCTO DÍAS So my night out in Portugal was a hoot. The previous nights weren't that great because I got annoyed with some other people who were a bit sloppy but then I decided I'd be the one to have fun and I just danced all night - it was amazing. Then on the seventh day of the trip though I woke up with a humongous eye area. It was a bit itchy the night before so I knew something would happen but it was really bad in the morning. We woke u...

VIAJE TERCERO DÍA The third day of the trip was Sevilla; we actually had the whole day there. In the morning we went on an excursion to tour a UNESCO heritage site. It was a palace but I really don't remember anything the tour guide said (I think it's interesting that at the mosque with the amazing tour guide I am able to remember the whole story but with the dull one I couldn't even pay attention; it's like the school system…) and I ended teaming up with...

VIAJE SEGUNDO DÍA The south of Spain I've noticed is quite different than the north.

VIAJE PRIMER DÍA It's almost two o'clock in the morning on the first night of the trip and a few of us just got back from a bar. My plan was not to go out until we were in Salamanca but that changed when a girl said there was live music and mojitos. I'm on a ten day semi tour of Spain with all the rotary students and apparently this trip is a blast. I know the five hour bus ride was a hoot = great start. Now we're in Granada. We got here kind of late so w...

PREGÓN 2o Bachillerato(grade 12) is kind of a big deal here. As it is everywhere being the final year and everything but the systems are very different and it seems that in this year, here, there's something really special. In my school there are a few things this class does every year and I've really enjoyed being a part of it. Thursday and Friday we put on this years "pregón". I've been trying to find a word to describe it because the translato...
