The Travel Bug: October 2009
http://allierstewart2.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Let's Begin in Spain. Tuesday, October 27, 2009. Our group trip to Cordoba and Granada was a really great way for me to spend my last weekend in Spain before going back to the states. It was a distraction, something new and different, and allowed me to experience two highly influential cities in Andalucia. Here are some highlights:. FLAMENCO show y TAPAS. Yep. It was my first flamenco show and was so much fun. The best was when a 7-year-old girl came up on stage and began to dance. Trying...It is now the...

The Travel Bug: December 2009
http://allierstewart2.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Let's Begin in Spain. Thursday, December 17, 2009. See you next year :). A Few Last Shots. Wednesday, December 16, 2009. This was Manuel's method to keep me from leaving. It definitely made the depressing job of packing more fun/difficult. Just Something I Liked. Meaning, "Just one race, the human race. A movement against intolerance.". Tuesday, December 15, 2009. Tonight we went to the theatre to see Pasión Vega. Fútbol is a MUST. It was crazy and fun, even though the game ended in a 0 - 0 tie. Our tour...

Let's Begin in Spain. Thursday, September 30, 2010. Lunch With My Host Family. For me, it was a whirlwind two hours of translating. I think, at one point, I began speaking to Mom and Mama in Spanish and to my host family in English. But it was so much fun having everyone together. My host mother made paella and lots of other seafood dishes. From left to right: Manoli, Paola (13), Mama, Javi (6), Javi and me! Wednesday, September 29, 2010. Monday, September 20, 2010.

The Travel Bug: April 2010
http://allierstewart2.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Let's Begin in Spain. Wednesday, April 7, 2010. Yep I have decided to pursue one more semester in Cadiz. I'm all about making this one new and different: a new group, new classes, a clean slate and- as hard as this might be- a new family. I'll admit I'm nervous to start all over again. But I have faith that it'll be worth it. So. 191;Por qué no? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Bovill Opera House; Art in Historic Graffiti. BAT BOY CAL VS. UCLA. 36 Views of Mt.

The Travel Bug: October 2010
http://allierstewart2.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Let's Begin in Spain. Monday, October 25, 2010. This year's group excursion to Cordoba and Granada lived up to the high expectations I had from last year's trip. We had a blast: lots of crazy sightseeing activities, lots of laughs and misadventures,. And lots of good tapas (free with drinks in Granada! The next morning, my half of the group loaded the bus for the Alhambra! I'm really glad this weekend happened. I had been feeling very blue and anxious for a mix of reasons and came back to Cadiz refre...

The Travel Bug: August 2009
http://allierstewart2.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Let's Begin in Spain. Friday, August 28, 2009. You’ve gotta love airports. Everyone’s disorganized, awkward, anxious and in a hurry to get somewhere. This provides for frustration and comedy across the board. When I reached N-15, I sat down and took a deep breath. I wasn’t going to miss my first flight. I made a conscious effort to lower my pulse and waited to board, but the boarding time came and went, so I asked a guy sitting next to me if his gate was N-15. Yep. Headed to Toronto? I love singing, lear...

The Travel Bug: Do You Know Who He Is?
http://allierstewart2.blogspot.com/2010/11/do-you-know-who-he-is.html
Let's Begin in Spain. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Do You Know Who He Is? Over the next hour or so, this is what was going on in my living room:. Paula looked as though she'd fallen head over heels for this kid. My host mom added a commentary of her own, making comments such as "Oh, God"; "Are you serious right now? I tried desperately to refrain from laughing. By the way, Barcelona won, much to my host father's dismay. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. BAT BOY CAL VS. UCLA.

The Travel Bug: November 2009
http://allierstewart2.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Let's Begin in Spain. Wednesday, November 25, 2009. All I Want For Christmas. Lessons on how to make a decision. Or maybe a self-help book: Decisions for Dummies. Wednesday, November 18, 2009. Luna Nueva (de la saga “Crepusculo”). Tuesday, November 17, 2009. One Weekend: Tangier, Morocco; Gibraltar, UK; Tarifa, Spain. As a group of three American girls, we had gone the safe route and gotten a tour guide to show us around the city. Soon we were off (in a random bus) to the old part of town. An adorable li...

Let's Begin in Spain. Sunday, November 21, 2010. Exploring Other Provinces: Extremadura and Salamanca. I just arrived home in Cadiz after a long weekend in Caceres, Salamanca, and Merida with my favorite group of extranjeros! We loaded the bus at 8:00 am sharp Thursday morning and made our way north! And finally found ourselves at the base of this hill. We promptly perched ourselves a ways up for a picnic, complete with bocadillos and horrendous off-tune versions of musical soundtracks. It was gr...Asya ...

The Travel Bug: Thanksgiving!!!
http://allierstewart2.blogspot.com/2010/11/thanksgiving.html
Let's Begin in Spain. Friday, November 26, 2010. It was so much fun to have celebrate "el Dia de Accion de Gracias" with the group in Cadiz! Last year, we were in Salamanca and ate really bad Chinese food and gummy candy. Of course, I missed having Thanksgiving in the states with family. How is it that I've been out of the country for three of the past four Thanksgiving dinners? But when you're away, your friends become your stand-in family. It works. And thank goodness for Skype! I love singing, learnin...
