Alpujarras

I know it's been a long time! Things have been picking up speed around here!

So last weekend ISA took us to Las Alpujarras (Al-Pu-Har-Ras) in the Sierra Nevada. It is home to the highest peak in Europe! While we didn't go up there, we walked around it. We couldn't even see the top because it was so cloudy! We hiked for the day, and then stayed in the small pueblo over night.

It was freezing. We were hiking though the clouds so it was rainy and cold. I had probably close to the 16 layers I had on when I went to Ireland. Seriously that cold.

Part of our hiking adventure.

It was soooooo windy! Also we hiked through clouds all day, which was why we couldn't see the beautiful scenery! There's a really pretty view behind that cloud.

Here's the closest we got to capturing the background.

Since it was so cold, they took us to the beach on Sunday! We went to Nerja (Ner-Ha), which is about an hour and a half away from Granada. It was just beautiful!

This is the coast. It was unbelievably beautiful! 

So Taylor and I went and found our own little piece of paradise on the beach. There was tons of places to explore!

The water was REALLY cold! Even paradise isn't perfect I guess.

This is Taylor. One of the girls in my program. She's from Mississippi and has an awesome accent!

We got home... and it was raining! It was so sad. But this is what greeted us-

I'm loving it here. March is flying by! Tomorrow I'm going to Morocco (Africa) and I'm so excited!!! Don't worry, I'm going with a program and will have guides and everything. It's totally legit and I won't go anywhere alone I promise! Kelsey is going with me, but she's not making any decisions or plans for us. This is gonna be awesome :)
