About Us...

We created this blog for family and friends to keep up with us on our crazy adventure in Europe. Amanda studies in Ubeda Spain for four weeks and I study in London for three. After Amanda's done with Spain and before I get started in England, we're taking a week-long journey through Europe, stopping in Italy, France, and Switzerland to soak up the culture, eat good food, learn new languages, and meet some distant relatives. With no plans, no guidebooks, and no clue how to travel in a foreign country without our parents, we should come up with some amazing (or awful) stories during our trip!

Time flies by

Sorry that I haven't been keeping up with this everyday but days here are pretty long and busy. Esp the weekends. So here is a brief recap off the last couple of days....

Thursday-
Had class and thought I was going to cry because it was so long and hard. It probably didn't help that the night before all my classmates and I went out and had tapas late. Spanish is really hard, in case you didn't know. When I speak I feel bad because I literally only speak in the present tense. I need to study soon so I can pass my classes. That would be pretty terrible to come all this way and then not pass the class lol. Sorry Mom.

Friday-
My classmates and I went to Granada. I think I wanna live there lol. Sorry Mom. It's really nice and youthful and lots of things to see and do. We walked literally for 8 hours straight trying to see as much as possible (like the Alhambra, barrios, local hangout, shopsss...) After dinner all the girls went straight to bed because we were so tired. This is really funny because we were in the a city that's nightlife is unbelievable.

Saturday-
We went and saw the Cathedral which was my favorite. We saw were Isabella and Ferdinand were buried. It was really cool to see how much time, effort, and money people thousands of years ago put into building a amazing church.
So Saturday night we returned back here and then I went out with Sarah and her brother. Ok, its really weird but here they literally just go to a big street or run down apartments and hang out lol. They lots of kids just with their parked cars jamming to American music (they love some Neyo-here pronounced Nay--jooo) It was alot of fun and glad I got to see my American friends there too.

Sunday-
Went dancing with Sarah and her parents. Sooooo much fun. DEFINITELY learning some salsa and other spanish dances when I return home.


Overall, I've had a great weekend and bout to take a power-nap before studying for my first spanish quiz.

Love you all!
