Con Las Cabras: gone
http://conlascabras.blogspot.com/2010/09/gone.html
An American guy living in Extremadura, Spain. Monday, September 27, 2010. The hostel we are staying has clean, nice rooms and is huge. Last night there was what sounded like a elementary school band practicing on one of the upper floors. They must be in town for a competition as there are buses in the parking lot. My camera is broken from the Gators game, so hopefully it shouldn't cost too much to fix! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). At the Top of the Roller Coaster. There was an error in this gadget.

An American guy living in Extremadura, Spain. Saturday, November 13, 2010. Spain: Cheap Groceries and Castles. Groceries are so cheap here in Spain.

And the grand total? This would cost well over $20 in california, I'm sure of it. I see...

Con Las Cabras: Halloween, Spanish Style
http://conlascabras.blogspot.com/2010/10/halloween-spanish-style.html
An American guy living in Extremadura, Spain. Thursday, October 28, 2010. Halloween, Spanish Style. Tomorrow it's back to the grind, hopefully we will be paid soon because I'm getting cabin fever from staying in Don Benito for so long while the other auxiliars are jet-setting for Amsterdam and Barcelona seemingly every weekend. I'm jealous now and it sucks! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Halloween, Spanish Style. Last week I was talking to the one of the teachers. There was an error in this gadget.

Con Las Cabras: Madrid & Paris
http://conlascabras.blogspot.com/2010/12/madrid-paris.html
An American guy living in Extremadura, Spain. Monday, December 20, 2010. I quickly checked flight prices online and saw a flight for €138 and I jumped on it. Looking back it wasn't so much of a deal as I thought it was originally. In the past few days I have found flights to places like Turin, Mallorca, and Marrakech for under €30! We boarded the plane and the only concern on my mind was the three young children occupying the row across from me. If only I know that planets were about to collide. I went t...

Con Las Cabras: Spain: Endless Commercial Breaks & Consistent Glassware
http://conlascabras.blogspot.com/2010/11/spain-endless-commercial-breaks.html
An American guy living in Extremadura, Spain. Saturday, November 20, 2010. Spain: Endless Commercial Breaks and Consistent Glassware. Every day during siesta, the tv networks show the news and then a movie. The movies they show are actually pretty good. The other day I watched Timeline, a sci-fi flick. While I was watching the movie, a commercial break came on that lasted 15 minutes. Apparently this is normal in Spain, but very strange to me. It seemed endless. November 25, 2010 at 10:10 PM. Spain: Endle...

Con Las Cabras: Carnaval de Cadiz!
http://conlascabras.blogspot.com/2011/03/carnaval-de-cadiz.html
An American guy living in Extremadura, Spain. Friday, March 11, 2011. In February we had two days for vacation for Carnaval. Since they were a Monday and a Tuesday, I asked my school for the other two days off. No sense in coming back to Don Benito for two days when I can instead make my vacation five days longer right? The group in our costumes, I was an old man. The scene in just one of Cadiz's plazas during Carnaval. An old church in El Puerto de Santa Maria. Plaza in El Puerto de Santa Maria. Hope to...

Con Las Cabras
http://conlascabras.blogspot.com/2010/10/last-week-i-was-talking-to-one-of.html
An American guy living in Extremadura, Spain. Friday, October 15, 2010. The students are all pretty enthusiastic and pretty much ask me the same questions every day. What is your favorite Spanish food? Do you know any famous people? Do you have a girlfriend? So far I've only done introductions, but tomorrow the real lessons will likely begin. I haven't been asked to plan lessons, only assist so it's pretty easy and fun to do. Well hasta luego for now! Labels: C.A. Gimnastico Don Benito. Teach, Learn, Run.

Con Las Cabras: After Cadiz: Down The Coast To Tarifa
http://conlascabras.blogspot.com/2011/03/after-cadiz-down-coast-to-tarifa.html
An American guy living in Extremadura, Spain. Friday, March 11, 2011. After Cadiz: Down The Coast To Tarifa. Painted rowboat on the beach in Los Caños de Meca. World War II bunker overlooking the water near Zahara de Los Atunes. Puerta de Jerez in Tarifa. The ferry to Tangier. Angela and Eric had to get the rental car back to Madrid that day, so they dropped me off at the bus station in Jerez de la Frontera where I could catch a bus to Chipiona to spend the second weekend of Carnaval. Los Canos de Meca.

Con Las Cabras: What I Miss
http://conlascabras.blogspot.com/2010/10/what-i-miss.html
An American guy living in Extremadura, Spain. Monday, October 25, 2010. I'm finally starting to actually feel settled here in Don Benito. Things feel normal, I have a routine. Still haven't made friends with locals, but I've made the acquaintance of a few. No there's not an app for that. While I wait to get paid from the Spanish government, I have made a mental list of places I plan on traveling to. Paris is at the top of the list, with Lisbon, Berlin, Salamanca and the north of Spain just below. Were th...
