Spain Day 5!

This morning Lara and I went shopping (for souvenirs and gifts and because everything is cheaper here) and met Oma & Opa for lunch with Dominic. I'm the only one in our group that knows more than two words in Spanish (besides my aunt, but she wasn't around) so I had the privilege of ordering our food... Which was neat. It's an awesome feeling of accomplishment when you successfully communicate with someone in another language. Also, I had pineapple juice because it sounded awesome. It was most awesome. 

Then Lara & I went and got ice cream. Mine was snickers flavored! :)

We walked back up to the hotel and changed into our swim stuff to hang out by the pool. And that's all we did all afternoon. :)

We had dinner at the hotel, and then went to a little outcrop to watch the sunset. Lara and I took some really neat pictures. 

We leave tomorrow! I want to stay... This has been such a fun vacation, I really hope to come back to Spain again someday!

Spain Day 2!

Today we got up early and walked down a hill behind our hotel to wander through the actual city of Granada. 

We visited the Cathedral where Queen Isabella of Spain's body is, 

and a cool statue showing Christopher Columbus asking Queen Isabella for permission to go to India, which was neat.:) (oops, you can't even see the statue in the picture? My bad.)

Then we did some shopping, because everything in cheaper here than in Switzerland. Everything is cheaper anywhere else than in Switzerland (kind of). 

We came back to the hotel & went swimming & laid in the sun until dinner (it's so nice & warm here!), where we walked to a place close by where there was amazing cheesy pizza & paellas (rice with tomatoes and lots of other veggies-apparently a Spanish specialty). 

Tomorrow we have to get up early to get on the bus for two hours.. *horrified gasp*

Sunny Wednesday

Today was fun, because on Wednesdays we have a half day. Also, it was gorgeous outside, which made for a really nice walk home. Now that it's dark out it's raining, but that's totally ok with me.

Tomorrow I get to sleep in and we have another half day because the teachers have to go to some conference thing in the afternoon. So much free time! And I'm not sure if it's tomorrow or next week that I get to do a presentation in English class about the schools and such in America... But that'll be exciting :)

Hipster baby bottle

I got to sleep in today! Yay! I got up super late, then did some homework and cleaning my room and such, then since it was sunny Lara and I walked to the lake of Zurich and went swimming.

There was almost no one on the beach because it was a bit chilly. It was gorgeous, though. 

There was a playground, and Lara and I decided to mess around on it...

(I don't know why it's so blurry... It's clearer on my phone..?)

There was also a pretty wall with a mosaic on it that we thought was artsy enough to take a picture with. 

The baby bottle is still there on top of the parking meter, but it looked kind of plain so I decorated it. Now it's a hipster baby bottle.
