Experience of a Lifetime

In May 2008, I had the opportunity to travel with a group of fellow language students on a UAB faculty-led study abroad trip to the city of Jaén in the province of Jaén, Spain.

While there, I had the opportunity to live with a host family and take classes at the Universidad de Jaén.

During our stay, we also had the opportunity to visit Cazorla, Granada, and Madrid. It was a truly enriching experience that has both shaped and enhanced my language skills and understanding of the Spanish culture.

This blog is an account of my experiences in Spain and is in no way affiliated with nor a representation of the experiences, thoughts, or opinions of the UAB Study Away office.

Sun, Sun, Sun.

Today is the first day I have walked outside to pure sunshine!! It was marvelous! I awoke to blue skies and very bright sunshine when I left to catch the bus this morning... it is warmer today than any day yet. It is most definitely a welcome change!

Today, we will visit a museum and the Iberian Village. I am not sure how far away it is, but we are taking a bus there. Tomorrow, we get to visit an olive oil factory, which should be very interesting as this part of the country is known for their olives and olive oil. I am looking forward to it!

I had no desire to wake up this morning from my warm bed... I hope to take a siesta this afternoon... but for now, I must go catch bus #7 that will take me home for lunch. Until I post again, perhaps with more exciting news,
