Vamos a la Playa!

This weekend I had the opportunity to travel to Nerja, Spain for the day. Nerja is on the Costa del Sol about an hour and a half away from Granada, and is incredibly beautiful. We spent the day relaxing on the beach and swimming in the super clear water. The views from the beach look photo-shopped, even in real life, because the mountains are looming in the background and the water is so blue. Four of us even rented a huge paddle boat that had a slide on top and took it farther out in the water. We had so much fun using the slide and jumping off the side.

On Sunday, I went to a Granada fútbol game with some friends I’ve met here. It was a cool experience! Even though they lost in the last minutes of extra time (bummer), it was interesting to see how into the game the people were. We were even on the scoreboard at one point!

My classes are going pretty well. I’m definitely learning a lot of new things about Spanish grammar. My favorite thing about the class is my professor, África. She’s super cool and helpful. She also likes to teach us colloquial Spanish phrases, which I love!

Although I really love the food here (especially arroz con leche, which my host mom makes for me all the time because she knows I love it), I really miss American food sometimes. I could just go for some Chic-Fil-A or wings right now!!

Hope training and classes are going well for everyone!

Love,
