Day 30 - Granada

Second and final day in Granada, so we had a lot to do!!

First off delicious breakfast at the hotel and then we made out way toooo.... LA ALHAMBRA!!!

It was amazing and we spent almost THREE hours there, because there is SO MUCH to see, and it is all beautiful!!

Erin and I saw LOTS of Lions as well, because they are the sign of ROYALTY!!! That is right <>

Also the gardens there were insane and the flowers were HUGE!! Smelt amazing!!

After this we had some more free time in town and so we grabbed lunch at a place where I got a super yummy 'ham and cheese toasted sandwich' followed by a 'piece of chocolate cake' :)

After this we looked around town some more and then headed back to Denia! Loved Granada, but wish I could have stayed longer!

Day 29 - Granada

It is Friday and we have MADE IT to Granada!! :)

We are staying at a precious hotel, called Hotel Corona and me and Erin are roomiieess!!! Everyone is so excited about the AC and the TV since we haven't had either in over a month lol! Butttt we aren't allowed to touch the mini-bar so BOO!

After arriving we went and had a chocolate crepe at a small cafe and then did some shopping! They have a lot of cute shops and really good deals!

I got a new dress :) yay! Then we had dinner at a fabulous restaurant where I had my first burger in Spain! SO GOOD!!

Granada is SO UPPER-CRUST! I love it ;) All the buildings were SO gorgeous! Tomorrow sight seeing so really famous places, can't wait!!

Day 28 - Denia

Hello Friends! Today is Thursday, but it is like Friday because tomorrow we are going to Granada! 

After classes me and Erin walked to town because I had and appointment to get a pedicure at 1pm :) My feet were SO thankful!! The lady at the nail salon asked me if I was Spanish because I spoke so well! It was really exciting! 

Then I met up with Erin and we headed to a small cafe where they had wifi and we had some yummy treats, and she Skyped a friend and I did some homework :)

She had a croissant with cheese, ham, lettuce and tomato and I had a chocolate chip muffin :)

After our snack we went to a couple shops and then had some real lunch at a restaurant outside by the port. We shared some pasta carbonara and it was soooo good! 

We headed back to the escuela and had dinner and got dressed for the evening! First we went to this place at the port and had some drinks, then we went dancing at this tri-level place and that was really fun! We met up with Daniel from the beach there and I even got to hear my fav song right now, MR.SAXOBEAT! 

This crew can dance allll night! And that we did! We rolled in at 6:15am it was hilarious, because when we were walking up to our residencia we heard the rooster start crowing and we were like this is a sign we were out aalllll night! lol!

Anyway great night and lots of memories!

Day 26 - Denia

Hi Dolls!!

Ok so today was a busy busy day, but so fun!

Class as normal in the morning and then afterwards Erin and I were contemplating if we should go into town for lunch or stay at the residencia, buuttt we had this feeling it was going to be Spain's good ole' Paella and we weren't really feeling that lol! And we found out later we were right! Anyway so we went into town and split a pizza for lunch and boy was it delicious!

Afterwards we looked around a couple shops on the main street downtown, and then headed to Llaollao for dessert :) We brought our homework and did that while we enjoyed our treat!

After Llaollao we headed to the CASTLE in Denia, aka my house! lol It was seriously SO cool and had some of the most beautiful views!!

SO GORGEOUS!!  We explored all the balconies and everything! I felt like a princess :)

Later after the castle we went to the Indian Palace, a indian food place and I got a taste of India!

Trying Indian food for the first time, really interesting! :) lol  I had the Vegetable Pakora to start and then moved onto the Chicken Danka...

It tasted better then it looks and I had it over white rice, a little spicy but it was ok I am glad I tried it! :)

Anyway, if you haven't tried Indian food you should and see if it is for you! There are some pretty good dishes!

Fun day overall and I got to see and try a lot of new things! :)

Hey there everyone!!! 

Today is Saturday and some of the group took a trip to Alicante, but the train left at at like 8am and I stayed out a little too late so did not get up this morning lol!

I slept in and went to the mall :) Then I saw Harry Potter in Spanish, it was fabulous and I was so PROUD I could understand a lot of what was going on! Then I had dinner at a lovely place called La Port and of course grabbed ice cream for dessert! 

It was a very good relaxing day to rest from the busy week!
