Hey there, how are things?

And it has been an eventful two weeks, indeed -- Spain and France, and lots of changes to my class schedules...

First things first, I would like to include an important update regarding my future plans: I will be finishing my Fulbright at the end of May 2007, so that I can matriculate into the 2007/08 Teach For America Philadelphia corps (PhilAdelPHiA FREEdom!) My assignment is secondary English, and I am really super pumped -- yesss...

Alright -- so I went to SPAIN, Tarifa to be exact -- one of the windsailing capitals of Europe. It was fun, but cold, probably because of the wind? And I might add that the ferry from Tanger to Tarifa is in no way a comfortable means of travelling.

Tarifa is really designed for tourism, but beautiful.

Above: Spanish church! Below: Inside the Spainish church!




The view from Tarifa across the straits.. if you look closely you can see a big gray mound, otherwise known as Africa.



There is a lot of graffiti in Tarifa (darn hippie kids!) but at least it's interesting and not merely gang tags...

I'm not sure what is going on in the above image...

Some more...

Power to the people/anarchy in the U.K./storm the Bastille!/keep it real, for sure.



Keep close, pictures of Paris to come! I promise they will be more exicting than my pictures of Tarifa.
