Submitted by Abigail Conklin on the 2013 spring semester study abroad program in Granada, Spain…
This past week was a mix of weather again, but I did welcome in allergy season with a bang. We had Wednesday off for Día del Trabajador (Day of the Worker) and Friday was Día de la Cruz (Day of the Cross). There were lots of crosses set up in a scene with things reflective of the Granada culture (olive oil, Flamenco, soap, etc.) They were set up around the city and there is a competition with different categories. Apparently it’s really competitive. Sunday was Mother’s Day so my “host sister” and I sent Magda an invitation to a dinner cooked just for her. I made her some of my family recipes including homemade pasta sauce and spaghetti. She really appreciated it and keeps asking for the recipe. But it’s a secret!
Until next week!
