Valerie in Spain - the Semester Abroad: April 2007

http://valerieinspain.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html

Valerie in Spain - the Semester Abroad. Tuesday, April 24, 2007. I feel like this post is way over due - I was looking at my other posts and it kind of seems like all I do is travel. This isn't entirely untrue, but there is also a lot to do right here in Galicia. Which is the part of Spain that I am in, in case you forgot). Here is what we've been enjoying. Two weeks ago we went to Vigo. Kate and Alana -. Theresa and I -. I made this sand castle (OK, it was more like a mound of sand - but same idea!

Valerie in Spain - the Semester Abroad. Wednesday, May 9, 2007. Los últimos días - things of note. Things are winding down, but we are still finding ways to amuse ourselves. Last week we had papers to write, and for a brief moment Kate and I broke our laser-like focus to discover that our sweatshirts zip up really high! Yes, I'll admit that our classes aren't the hardest. But they are still work, and let's face it, work is hard. Later that night we went to the botellon. Claire had a fiesta. At her piso w...

Valerie in Spain - the Semester Abroad: Prague

http://valerieinspain.blogspot.com/2007/05/prague.html

Valerie in Spain - the Semester Abroad. Friday, May 4, 2007. Last weekend Alana and I went to Prague. I was especially excited to go for two reasons 1) everyone who has been to Prague has glowing reviews of it and 2) it is where my great-grandparents on my dad's side of the family are from. Frustration. This trip did nothing to help my already volatile. It was fun to get different money, and the exchange rate was really in our favor (1 euro = 26 korunas. Our room was pretty much the attic. It is really e...

Valerie in Spain - the Semester Abroad: January 2007

http://valerieinspain.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html

Valerie in Spain - the Semester Abroad. Tuesday, January 30, 2007. This weekend Kate, Mindy, and I went to Porto, Portugal. It was a very long 3 hour bus ride from Santiago on windy, hilly roads. We all felt a bit carsick, but for 40€ roundtrip I couldn’t really complain too much. We also got to see a protest by Communist. From the flyers they were passing out I was able to deduce that there is an election coming up. I will admit, it was a little bit jarring to see Communist parading in the stree...There...
