Tacos Anyone?

Overall, this week has been pretty darn good. It started off on Monday with a trip to the Alhambra, an ancient palace/military stronghold that dates back to the 11^th century. I have to be honest and say that I didn’t catch all the information about the structure because I was so absorbed in the beauty of the structure, and the tour was being given in Spanish. Nevertheless, it was an amazing, and I can’t wait to have some free time so that I can do some research about this beautiful construction that is steeped in so much history. (I promise that when I learn more about it, I’ll post pictures and information so that I can share it with all of you.)

I also increased my Spanish vocabulary this week; at meals my host mother quizzes my roommate and me about simple kitchen items, and at school I had a class all about tacos. Not the delicious food tacos, but rather Spanish swear word tacos. I now have a full notebook page full of obscenities! I don’t think I’ll have much use for these new words, but it is interesting how often I hear them on the street now that I’m aware of their existence.

Well, I better wrap this post up. I’m heading to Dublin, Ireland later today to spend some time with my friends Taylor and Hillary. Hopefully next week I’ll have some great stories and photos to post from my trip!
