Whoops...

Hello!

I didn't mean to keep you hanging quite so long for pictures from Alhambra ... Which is a beautiful example of Muslim Architecture. It has all the typical parts of a Muslim Palace. And all of hte geometric forms and inscriptions are inspired by the Koran. Later on, Catholic Kings and Queens lived there.

^Check out that crazy detail^

Most of the girls went out for Churros & Chocolate...

Here is half of the table!!

The next morning was pretty short.. we woke up, ate breakfast, bought some stuff to make sandwiches and headed back home, Segovia!

The following week, was another lovely 4 day week! Wednesday we went and saw the movie "Rumores y Mentiras" .. I think it is called Easy A in the States..?? And that weekend was pretty low key as well... on Saturday we went to the futbol game of our program director's son.. that was fun! and after that we went out for some good 'ol American food and "Foster's Hollywood" .. the american restaurant in Segovia. And on Sunday, some of went  and played futbol with Ricardo and his two sons!!.. It was soo fun. And well.. I was sore from it for like half of the next week!

For "Thanksgiving" we got to get together as a group at a Restaurant that cooked us a "thanksgiving meal"... which was.. good. but not exactly thanksgiving!!! Started off with some Calamari.. then had some turkey with "gravy" on it.. a baked apple.. and the stuffing was made out of ground beef!!!! whaaaat?! But... Leah made a PUMPKIN PIE! Which was probably the most delicious pie ever! So that was a nice taste of home.

The next morning.. Friday, me and 6 friends took of for Portugal. You'll have to check back later for that story. Because I need to go study! But to say the least, I am VERY surprise and thankful I made it back to Spain.....

11 days until Mom and Dad.. 12 until Jason... I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU GUYSSS!!!!

Also, I sadly was not able to make the family Thanksgiving celebrations... I missed you all dearly. And I hope you enjoyed my toast via Skype! THANKSGIVING 2011 WILL MAKE UP FOR IT!!!
