June 3, 2009It was a relaxing day. I had my usual routine in the morning and thenwalked to the school with a few of the other students. We found aDunkin Donuts here, so we picked some coffee up on the way. It looksmore like a Starbucks with big, leather chairs, funky music and verycolourful atmosphere.After the class, I came directly back to the residence. I had morelaundry to do, sorted through some of my pictures and sent some email.To save a bit of money, I de...

I think I'm fitting in well with the slower paced environment in Granada.I walked to the school with a group of friends from the residence.

I've come to realize that travelling involves patience - and plenty of it. I seem to always be waiting for something; a tr...

I went to bed early last night and awoke by 7am. I wanted to get an early start to the day.I decided to take the subway to my destinations, do some walking and try to balance them out, instead of just walking everywhere.
