Let me tell you about the Alpujarras, the big mountains in Spain. They were AWEZOME. I went with a group of about 20 of the other students with our guides, and starting Friday morning, we bussed it sickeningly up a twisting road, then hiked along waterfalls, old fields, steep ravines, rapids, and tons of plants, and through about 3 different little mountain towns. We had a picnic with vegetables (for once) by a river, drank fresh water from water fountains that come directly from the fresh springs at the top of the mountain, and had a big group dinner. A lot of people ate rabbit: brain, heart and all teeth included. Then we all slept in a hostel, looked at the stars, and got up early to hike all day Saturday. There were even mountain goats and freshly sheared sheep-I felt like I was in the Sound of Music. We were all exhausted by the end, but it was such a great weekend, wish you could've seen it.
