My friends and I took a mini adventure today and wandered to a Monastary that is located in downtown Granada. We walked in with our hopes not being set too high and we were BLOWN AWAY! The cathedral inside the monestary was spectacular. The walls and ceilings were covered in detailed paintings and the alter had beautiful gold decoration all the way up to the ceiling. We were taking pictures non stop and then explored all of the other rooms inside the monestary. Y...

Saturday was a nice day and Maegan, Hannah, Molly and I definitely took advantage of that! We started off with some coffee in the morning (which I am kiiiind of beginning to like since I gave up hot chocolate for lent) and relaxed in La Plaza Bib Rambla. Then, with our map and cameras in hand, we set off for our adventure! We stopped and took a picture at Puerta Elvira, the archway to the Albaicin area, and then walked down Avenida de Constituiton. It is a walkw...

Today, we had Friday classes since Midterms are next week, and therefore had to review a little bit.

It was somewhat interesting but the park that we went to afterward was more fun. It was so beautiful and green w...

Today I got to experience one of the most awesome things I have done this entire semester. I WENT HORSEBACK RIDING IN THE FRIGGING SIERRA NEVADA MOUNTAINS! I never thought I would have said that sentence. :) 7 of us hopped on a bus and headed to Los Alayos equestrian school in a town right outside of Granada. We had scheduled a half day ride and it was just going to be our group so we were really excited. After picking out our horses and putting our hats on, we...

Saturday, my friends and I decided we wanted to go on an adventure. So that's exactly what we did. :) We hiked a trail that goes past the Alhambra to a park that is at the top of the trail. The park is really popular for families to hang out at (most of them drive up though) and it was funny because there were a bunch of grils but instead of cooking hamburgers and hot dogs, they were making Paella and Morica! The hike was beautiful on the way up, but it definit...
