100 Day Project – Day 48 – 8:08 pm First, if by any chance you were counting, I’m sure I’ve miscounted again! Since I tend to miss writing on the weekends; I decided I’ll just count the next day I write, not the days of the week! I haven’t missed more than two days in [...]

We had a great train ride through the Chunnel from Paris to London. It’s actually a rather “boring” ride in terms of the scenery (and at least 1/2 hour is spent in the tunnel). We enjoyed first class and were served a nice luncheon type meal while enjoying cozy seats. I was worried about my [...]

We leave tomorrow morning for Nice France. It’s been a wonderful wonderful time here in Spain. We’ve learned a great deal, met wonderful people, and experienced not only another culture; but had time to reflect on the “culture” we live in. We had a great day and a half in Cadaques! I’ll post more another [...]

Well, what a busy few days! Although I want to put up a posting about our great day trip with the school to the towns of Segovia and Avila over the weekend; tonight I write about my being sick… A couple of weeks ago in Madrid, hubby and I had a bad head cold. Hubby’s [...]

Buena dias! Well, the two of us decided to take a little walk last night after classes until the tapas bars are open (You cannot eat anywhere until 8 pm here). A classmate had told us he had found a bar with Guiness on tap. We were up for a beer with some substance (beer- [...]

Hola! Well it is Wednesday already and we have pretty regular days. We get up and eat at 9, go to school to use the wireless and do homework. Lunch at 1, and back to classes for 3 till 7. Last night we went to a lecture in the school about Dali — understood about [...]

Today I can’t blame difficulty accessing the Internet (I might have said this before, but access to wireless is very hard to find and very pricey in Spain – we Americans clearly take it for granted!) for not posting for three days! Today is our fifth day of classes in Spanish and we are exhausted [...]

Hola from Granada! This past Saturday we enjoyed our last day in Seville with souvenir hunting (can’t tell you what we bought until the recipients receive them!), but thank goodness we left some extra room in our luggage. We also, after some reading, choose a flamenco show to go to as our send off to [...]
