3 hours...

3 more hours until my dad arrives in Alicante!!!! I am so excited, I can hardly wait. I´m also excited for his arrival because he is bringing me his computer, which means I will finally be able to update my blog! :D

Lo siento.

So...my computer died! I decided that I'd rather use my money for traveling so I'm waiting until my dad gets here to bring me his computer--thanks dad! I don't have access to a real computer unless I'm hanging out on campus, so I won't be able to update pictures for a while. I wanted to share a video link with you of a video that my friend Melissa made from our USAC trip to Granada. I'm currently falling in love with the city of San Sebastian! I hope you enjoy!

Home.

I can't believe that I've been here two months already! I am so proud of myself, I haven't really gone through the waves of homesickness yet. My time here has been wonderful thus far. I've made some really wonderful friends...but being here has made me start to analyze certain situations in my life. I really miss the friendships from home. I never thought that it would be so difficult to maintain relationships, the only people that I've really stayed in contact with are my sister and Bradi. I never thought for a second that friendships/relationships would be lost through this process. If anything I've grown tremendously as a person...studying abroad has been one of the best experiences of my life! I would recommend it to everyone! And for those of you who don't have this opportunity, live vicariously through me and be grateful for all the wonderful relationships you have in your life! :D

Aint No Mountain High Enough...

This past weekend a group of us traveled to a nearby town, Calpe. I fell in love. It was such a beautiful coastal town. We enjoyed free samples of sangria and pulpo (octupus), sipped cafe con leche, ate helado (ice cream), and climbed a mountain. It was a lovely adventure and the climb to the top was incredible! I definitely want to go back.

My friend Melissa and I have a problem with taking pictures--my camera is always full of pictures of her and vice versa. Here are a few more pictures from the Granada trip, compliments of Melissa's camera, as well as pictures from our weekend in Calpe.

I feel like a lot of these pictures deserve an explanation--but instead I'll just eave it up to your imagination. Let me just say that Spain is getting to know the real Carly :D
