Trying to Keep You on The Same Page

Okay so here we go again....I'm trying to keep all of this updated but its so hard when I have so little time online. Sigh. Okay so I went to France this past weekend and it was definitely an experience. Not my favorite but I'm not going to judge just by what I've seen. French wasn't hard to understand but it was interesting to try to speak. I think for the French that I do know I did pretty good getting around and ordering food and everything. Next semester should be pretty interesting.
Okay so the trip....

We flew into Paris Thursday night and went to see Moulin Rouge just from the outside. Unfortunately, that's about all there is to see...

Afterward we went to the Catacombs. They are creepy and dark and filled with bones. My brothers would have thought that they were great but I wasn't so sure I liked them.

Name this Cathedral and win Twenty bucks....just kidding....

These pictures are all from and of the illustrious Notre Dame. I would go back there in a heartbeat.

This would be the Louvre...but unfortunately it was so expensive that we didn't go in....

The Effeil Tower where I got my gula-gula....long story short this guy made us bracelets and wanted us to pay for them....he got all of two euro out of me....

The beautiful Mont Saint Michel....an abby that sometimes due to the tides is an island.

There were really tiny streets in places...

Lots of stairs....

And views to die for.
All in all despite getting a cold I think I had fun in France and I'm really excited to learn more French and hopefully go back later.

2 weeks until Cantabria.
5 weeks until Spring Break
Seven weeks left on this adventure.

Man how time flies....

Good Bye February.

Well, I said I would post again with pictures but I got busy again. This whole not having internet in my house thing is really making me lose my mind sometimes. Anyway, I am going to put up some pictures from Granada now and then make another post to tell you about this past weekend which I spent in France!
Besos!

Alright I start my trip off with a bad translation....Pain in French is Pan in Spanish which means bread but everything else is in English so we found this hilarious.

This is the big cathedral where in one Capilla the Catholic King and Queen (Ferdinand and Isabella) are entombed. It is very pretty and very elaborate.

This is part of the military part of a castle in Granada. This bell signaled everything from attacks on the city to times you could water your crops. Now there is a special holiday when a handful of virgins ring the bell searching for their soulmate....

This is the palace where the royalty went to relax. It was done by the Arabic king and saved from destruction by a book written by Washington Irving

The beautiful beach at Salobrena. The water is cold, the beach is stone and the sun was shining.

Enough said.

A castle that served as a prison. there is more of it but I thought this picture was pretty good so this is what you get.

Saturday night we went to this place to see a flamenco show.

This is the flamenco show. Flamenco is one of the most well known dances of Spain and it is really hard to dance or play from the guitarists point of view...at least according to what I've heard.
