Back in Madrid, Off to Ireland

After Seville, I headed to Cordoba to gaze at what Rough Guides says is "the grandest and most beautiful mosque ever constructed by the Moors."  It is now a Cathedral.  I was only going to stay one night, but the Juderia (Jewish quarter) was ... Read more >


A Balcony and a Cup of Coffee

SPAIN | Tuesday, 10 Feb 2009 | Views [672] | Comments [3]

So the first week of my Andalucian adventure has been a success.  Granada was beautiful, though cold and wet, but meeting up with Rica again is always nice. I leave here (Sevilla) tomorrow for Cordoba, then back to Madrid by the weekend. To recap ... Read more >


Tapas Todo el Tiempo

USA | Tuesday, 3 Feb 2009 | Views [401]

Day 2 of Andalucia was still wet and cold, but not as much as yesterday.  Erica and I were able to walk around with relative dryness.  We had tapas at all hours of the day into the night.  It was wonderful.  What a brilliant way to run the pub culture:... Read more >


Alhambra Water

Day 1 of The Great Andalucian Adventure has been, well, cold. And wet. I left the rain and snow of Madrid on a 1:30AM bus to Granada.  I got here at 6:30AM, in the dark, and apparently brought the rain with me.  I couldn´t check into my hostel until ... Read more >


The Great Andalucian Adventure

I went to church today with the daughter of one of the missionaries we (Beth-El Baptist) support in Seville.  The daughter, Emily, lives in Madrid with her husband and cuuuuute kids.  I waited for her at a metro stop, and as it was raining, I found shelter ... Read more >


Barcelona Beats

SPAIN | Monday, 26 Jan 2009 | Views [639] | Comments [2]

I don't really know why I titled it that way, I just like the alliteration. Anyway, it was a 7 1/2 hour bus ride from Madrid to Barcelona.  We left Thursday night at 11:59PM, and got to Barcelona at 7:45AM the next morning.  Now I didn't realize that ... Read more >

The Rain in Spain

SPAIN | Tuesday, 20 Jan 2009 | Views [522] | Comments [3]

It rained yesterday.  The clouds made for a pleasantly warm coat around the earth, and I was very comfortable in just my one jacket (instead of five layers).  I went with Swayni to her University to just be around school-ish things again.  I went into ... Read more >


En Espana

SPAIN | Friday, 16 Jan 2009 | Views [599] | Comments [4]

I am doing laundry.  I've almost forgotten what clean laundry smelled/felt/looked like.  The dirty backpacker truth is (sorry, mom) that I haven't done laundry since five countries ago.  My aunt and uncle from San Francisco are vacationing in Paris, ... Read more >
