So last weekend we had a meeting with all of the inbound exchange students to Spain.
It was a rather interesting experience for me only because of the fact
that everyone was American. Yes Americans! Of course there were a few
kids here and there from other countries, but it was primarily American
kids. There was so many Americans it was like we invaded Europe like we did in World War 2. It was strange being in Spain,
speaking only English for an entire weekend. That is how crazy it is, I
am so use to speaking Spanish that when I hear English, it is weird!
Nevertheless, I had a good weekend. Some of the conferences were boring,
but the other exchange students were cool. Also me and this one girl
found a guitar, so we rocked the house at our campfire event! It was so
cool! It was the highlight of my weekend!

Yesterdays Trip to Cordoba y Alcala
Today I went on a tour to see other cities in Andalusia, Spain. Wow,
what beautiful places. I can't believe how old these places are. Córdoba
was first the capital of the Iberian peninsula when the Romans
conquered it, then when the Roman Empire fell, Spain was conquered by
the moors in the 7 century, and Córdoba was than made the capital of
Spain for the moors. The moors built there Mosque on top of a Roman
basilica, and when the Christians conquered Spain in the 15th century
they turned the mosque into a Cathedral. Wow! Its crazy how Spain has so
much different impact on its history. Its amazing and was an enjoyable
experience!
