Granada So… I know I haven’t written in a while but this past weekend was our school trip to Granada and all 45 (or so) of us fit on a HUGE Mercedes bus (yes… Roughing it includes riding in style in Spain ). Granada is this beautiful little city at the base of the mountains on the east coast of Spain. It is about a 30 minute drive away from the mountains (where you can ski or snowboard) but is based on a hill so it kind of looks like what I believe G...

Not in the ornery, rude, or misspoken way...

El Primero Fin de Semana --- (The first weekend) Where to begin… Last I wrote I took a tour of the Cathedral and Alcazar. Yesterday we went on a bus tour across Sevilla , and I can happily say, this is the place for me. It is one of the most beautiful places that I have ever seen before.
