The Great Granada Adventure! (and who knows where else I'll end up...)
In and around Spain
Hello everyone. This is the blog of my study abroad adventure. I'm going to be staying in Granada, Spain for the most part, but hopefully traveling around as much as I can! I'm so excited to go. I leave August 25th from Seattle, and return December 18th. I'm excited to be going on this adventure, and I'll be sure to post a few pictures once in awhile so you can all see what's going on over there. I've heard just wonderful things about the area that I'm staying in. Granada is a city in southern Spain, close to the Mediterranean Sea. I can't wait to get there and just get going! I want to go to Morocco while I'm there (its like a 3 hour ferry ride away), Barcelona of course, Paris... who knows!
Well see where the winds take me... :)
