El arte en las paredes..

"Jazz says it all"

So there is a lot of art in the streets. Some of it is graffiti art and some of it is found in murals...here are some photos of some of my favorite murals that I have seen. There are many more of these beautiful pieces. It's fun to look at them while I am walking through the streets. I cannot wait to paint something of my own!! (To note, though it sounds appealing to paint on a wall for everyone to see, I will most likely by painting on a portable, totally legal canvas).

Now, for the second part of this week's entry: English in a non-English speaking country.

Me: "ENJOY THIS MOUSTACHE PARTY" Amanda: "OLD COLLEGE"

SO profound...

I have no words, I just laugh. 

 

 

 

So this is what Spain-English is teaching me: (Photo 1) moustaches (British spelling) are so important that they have their own parties; there is a confusion between "old college," which is something I have never heard of, and "old school," which is not only a famous Will Farrell movie but also a popular phrase to convey a retro style; (Photo 2) Spain is full of philosophers who are questioning the basic teachings of empiricism and their own sensory perceptions; (Photo 3) though Michael is gone, there is a small part of him living on in spirit in Granada.

Let me tell you how relieved I am that my education is paying off here in Spain. It is just teaching me so much. :)

On a more serious note, I am falling more in love with Granada. Tomorrow we have an excursion to a famous Granadan neighborhood, Albayzin. Two friends and I have also booked flights to the Canary Islands for our short break in February! Can hardly wait to get my tan on...but knowing my skin I will just be burning.

Hope you are all well!
Hasta luego.
