SPAIN UPDATE #2!

Emily is on the right in the picture :).

Hi everyone! I can't believe I've been in Spain for a whole month already! Time flies when you're having fun. The last couple of weeks have been really busy but exciting of course. I finished up my two June classes last week, and this week I started my two July classes. I'm learning about Spanish civilization and the age of Cervantes now which is cool because I get to learn more about the history and culture of Spain and be here to actually experience the places and monuments that we're learning about.

I have become a HUGE fan of the Spanish soccer team who is playing in the world cup. The atmosphere after a big win is absolutely crazy here...kind of like how it will be when we beat Ohio and Miami in Anderson Arena this fall :) Also, I have learned some salsa dancing, tried churros which are delicious, and met a lot of interesting people from all over the world through an intercambio which I participated in Madrid. On Thursday we are going to the southern coast of Spain to Granada and Salobrena for the weekend since we won't be able to celebrate the Fourth of July in the U.S. I am excited to see the Alhambra and all of the beautiful cathedrals and buildings, watch Flamenco dancers, and go to the beach in the costa del sol!
