Carolina Meets España

So, this little nugget of writing is to inform everyone that I am in Granada, Spain studying Spanish and oddly enough, Arabic. Who'd have thought, right? Orientation here has been just as harrying and hectic as freshman orientation was at Wofford. So, to all of you freshies who might be reading this... it isn't over by a long shot.

After a 20 km - yes, that is 12ish miles - (many portions of which I tried to remember if I had signed a release form) we arrived and passed through many beautiful coastal views in Cabo de Gata, a national park in Almería.

Interesting fact: many of the films that you believed were filmed in the American desert... not. They were filmed in Cabo de Gata: Laurence of Arabia, Clint Eastwood films, and the Indiana Jones movie that had his father in it. Sorry, I can't remember the name, but luckily I'm too far away to hunt down with an angry mob.

The views were beautiful and very close thanks to our part mountain goat guide. Luckily, I haven't been living as on the edge since we got home... luckily. And did I mention that it's fantastically beautiful here?
