This post will be short short short, because I have ten minutes before I have to leave for LONDON!! London for the weekend, no big deal, such is the life of a study abroad student.
Anyhow, last weekend we had a program excursion to the Spanish cities of Córdoba and Granada, both northwest of Cádiz in the heart of Andalucía.
Córdoba was a five-hour pit stop, where we ate lunch and saw the third largest mosque in the world (the Mezquita.) Very impressive.
Then we went on to the main destination, Granada, home of the famous Alhambra. I can't tell you how many people asked me, "Are you going to the Alhambra?" when I told them I would be studying abroad in Spain. Needless to say, I had some high expectations based on those questions, and it did not disappoint in the slightest. Crazy-intricate detailing and just all-around spectacular, not to mention a killer hilltop location overlooking the city.
That's just a sneak peek, more photos to come later I promise.
And now, like I said, I'm off to the land of tea and crumpets! Pip pip cheerio!!
