Meals

The food is as rich as a king’s silk robe. It is always fresh and full of variety. Although it is very popular to fry food here, it is void of preservatives and other harmful ingredients. Believe it or not, many things that we have in processed foods in the USA are banned here. If […]

Technology/Language

I knew that the technology is set up differently before I came to Spain. For instance, aside from Spanish being the language, the keyboards are set up in accordance with the language.

A Farewell to My Adventure

Well, this is the end. Finals are all turned in(fingers crossed), the papers are written and only 2 days remain of my Grand Adventure. I’d like to talk about the experience as a whole, in addition to life here in Alicante, as well as Spain. Because it’s been nearly 4 months of experimentation, I’m sure […]

Barcelona, in December?

This last weekend we enjoyed a long weekend in observance of the Spanish Saint’s Day of the Immaculate conception. I took this opportunity to explore the Catalonian capital of Barcelona. I left Thursday evening to fly to Madrid before my flight the next morning to Barcelona. Sleeping in airports is not my favorite way to […]
