So I have made it to Huercal-Overa. It's a lot bigger than I thought. It is about a 30 minute walk from one side to the other. We arrived by bus and got a taxi to our hotel that CIEE (our program) had set up for us. The hotel was 15 miles outside of the city!!!! Riding in our seperate taxi's (our luggage was too big for anything less), we all thought the drivers were going to murder us. I was like "ummm where is the hotel? And he was like, oh its really far!! Why are you staying out here?" So we got to the hotel and its the kind where the doors open right to the outside. You know, the type of hotels people are ALWAYS murdered at in movies? Yeah. So we stayed there that night and promptly switched to a hostel in the middle of the city. Its suuuuper nice. So that all worked out. Aside from that, the rest of the trip was fine. The 13 hour bus trip was not as terrible as it sounds and crossing the Sierra Nevadas was a real treat.
Spanish lesson:
nada: nothing or not
mucho: much
que pasa?: whats up
nada mucho: he swims a lot.
So when someone asks you whats up and you try to say not much....you end up saying he swims a lot.
"What's up?"
"He swims a lot."
.....
Ill write more when I am less lazy.
Love you guys!!!
i love nada mucho. i also enjoy de nad for de nada.
