Morocco, Semana Santa

So I think I'm going to start doing some sort of photo diary on this thing where I update daily (or ya know, try to) with a photo and a little thing about what I've been up to. Well the week before last was Semana Santa (holy week) in Spain and thus my spring break. I spent the first weekend in Morocco with a 4 day program and it was unbelievable. Having already been to Morocco with my family I didn't really expect to be wowed all over again but this trip was so cool because we got to meet a lot of Moroccan people and really talk to them. Moroccan people are so sincerely warm and friendly! It was a great experience. Then I spent the next two days in a small town in the south of spain called Tarifa. It was a windy little beach town that reminded me a lot of Pismo Beach. I went back to Cordoba for a night then hit up Granada for a couple days because Lauren and her friend Gilly were visiting from Rome! We had a blast the first night hitting up some bars and discotecas, then did the important touristy stuff and Friday night ate at a delicious restaurant where a woman danced flamenco and a man played flamenco guitar while we ate. Lauren and I split a gianormous salad that was so big the croutons had to be made out of toasted pieces of bread with melted brie on top. Don't worry, Lauren and I took that thing down. Our next course was swordfish with melted butter, parsley and baby garlic sauce. Um, hi. Melt in your mouth, much? So freaking good. Yea, that didn't last long either. And throughout the night Kirsten's bomb dad, Adolf, kept the pitchers of sangria flowing. For dessert we hit up an ice cream place where Lo and I got the speciality of ice cream cake in a cone. Weird, but really good. Then Saturday I returned to Cordoba to check out the scene here, but it was raining hard so I stayed in and watched Harold and Maude. So that was my spring break in a nutshell and I'm in the library right now and I'm pretty sure its closing cause its like 10. 

Paz,
