Saludándote desde Portland, OR  Have a safe and wonderful trip to Sevilla!

Encantada y gracias a tod@s!

Parece que estéis de acuerdo que Nueva York es una buena representación de los EEUU. ¿ Es por la comida? Es por el estilo de vida? Es por la población? ¿ Cuales cosas están incluido en la cultura de los EEUU? No creo que pueda elegir solo un lugar pero me interesa leer os respuestas.  Espero que hubiera respondido a vuestras preguntas con mi siguiente post!

Aspectos de la Cultura

La otra mitad de la clase te saluda Jordan!

Road trip!

I'm going to Sevilla!

This weekend I get to travel with other students from my program to the Southern province of Spain to visit Sevilla. While I am not looking forward to the 8 hour bus ride there, I am beyond excited to spend the weekend in such a beautiful city. The architecture, food and art all represent the traditional image of Spanish culture. Sevilla is the birth place of the flamenco and I am lucky enough to get to see a live performance this Saturday. When I arrived in Spain my host family expressed that I absolutely HAD to go to Sevilla to see and experience authentic Spanish culture. I can't wait to see what this city has to offer! 

If you had to think of a city or place that is an authentic representation of American culture where would it be? Could you just pick one place? What aspects of American culture would you expect to be represented? We'll have to compare notes when I get back! Have a wonderful weekend!

¡Buenas días de España!

I'm in Spain!

Welcome to our interactive blog where I, Jordan, will be sharing my experiences in Alicante with you, Hosford middle school students.  It has been almost a month since I first arrived here in Spain and it feels like yesterday that I stepped off the plane. As of now this entire experience has been a whirl wind! I've met many new friends and even new family members! The culture, customs, food, weather and people are much more different than I had anticipated. After a small period of adjustment I can defninitely say that I have found a second home. What I have learned about the Spanish people and their culture in one month amazes me everyday. 

My host mother suggested some beautfiul hiking routes around the southern tip of the city. The buildings around here are ancient and some were literally crumbling before my eyes!

Fortunately I like seafod... There is a LOT of fishing here!

And finally the view from the castle in Alicante. 

Before I share more of my experiences in my new home first I would like to share a bit about myself.
