Portugal Photossssss
Buying chestnuts roasting on an open fire on the street in Lisbon. Adorable cat at the Castelo de São Jorge. Castelo de São Jorge, built in the 11th century! The gorgeous view of Lisbon from the Castelo. View and old canon. I love these colors. This is the view from the terrace of our hostel in the Alfama, the old town of Lisbon. Great hostel! European cities go ALL OUT with christmas lights. Insane! Palacio Nacional de Pena, Sintra, Portugal. Coolest, funkiest palace ever. See what I mean? The famous trolley 28 in Lisbon. This incredible old library we found in Porto. That's a staircase to the second floor!
I traveled to Granada in high school, and there I fell in love. Prior to my magical discovery in Plaza Nueva, I had never been an avid ice creamer. But that all changed at La Perla Heladería where I met Leche Rizada. The description: "sweet milk with hinted flavors of ceylón cinnamon and lemon rind". Amazing. I knew one day we would meet again.
...and the opportunity arose, to be a university student in Granada! I am studying abroad at the University of Granada for the 2009-2010 school year. I am from the University of California San Diego; International Studies major focusing in History and Anthropolgy, and Psychology minor.
