Shopping & pics & Oreos

Today I went shopping in Zurich! I actually even found a pair of jeans that fit me! Woo🎉

I also met a friend and we wandered around Zürich and I played photographer. It was super fun, especially because afterwards we went to the English bookstore and found double triple Oreos. Which are freaking amazing. 

Spain Day 4!

Today we got up early & walked five minutes down the hill to the Alhambra, which is basically the ruins and restored gardens of the old palace. (Where Queen Isabella lived!) The gardens were absolutely stunning, 

and the palaces were so ridiculously detailed I couldn't properly appreciate it after a while because it was just too much. 

(That's a ceiling^)

Basically, imagine this ^ times a million and you're about there. 

Then after lunch we hopped on a bus and drove to the other side of the city, then walked down through a zillion tiny streets into the middle of Granada. It was pretty fun, and we learned (among other things) about houses that are labeled as "Carmens". In order for a house to be able to carry the title of Carmen, it has to fulfill some requirements. Some of those include having a garden (with both useful plants-like herbs or lettuce-and decorative plants-like daisies or roses) and having an inner courtyard. I thought it was pretty cute. 

After the tour we convinced my aunt & uncle that we needed ice cream. I have never had such a giant cone in my life. It was beautiful. Snickers & stracciatella ice cream=heaven.

Something neat:

I took a picture of the view from the Alhambra across Granada to the other side, and then later today I took another picture of the view from the other side of the city across to the Alhambra. The red is where the other picture was taken!

Google translate adventures

Today was a long day... And all the girls in my class, including myself, had super bad muscle (I can't think of the word- when you're muscles are sore from overworking? Cramp? Idk-So I tried to look it up because I only know the word in German. That's really wacky. So Google translate tells me... 

I'm laughing so hard) because yesterday we had a test thing in p.e., which was actually really fun, just not so fun the next day.

Tomorrow's Friday again! Yesssss!
