Travel plans made!

It's a scary thought, but I officially have ALL of my travel plans made until I leave Spain. I would usually be a bit bummed about this, but I get to go to some killer places. I'll be sure to post pictures on my Flickr account so anyone who is interested can see.

This weekend I am going with my friend Lolo to Granada and Cordoba. Granada is a city I've been wanting to go to for a really long time, so I'm glad I finally get to go with him. He went to college there and says it's his favorite city in Spain, which I can see why from his description. Every kind of nightlife I could want: indie music, electro, minimal, jazz, rock and roll bars, etc. It's got THE Alhambra, an Arabic palace that many say could be considered amongst the wonders of the world. Not to mention, Granada is at the foot of the Sierra Nevadas, for snow aficionados, and 40 km away from the Mediterranean. Pretty killer I'd say. Then, the next day we are going to Cordoba, his childhood home and another equally beautiful and interesting city I'm told. Either way, I'm excited to go see his old stomping ground with him since we always have a good time together; and, I'm sure if he finds these places interesting, I will too.

The following weekend, I am going to meet Annie in Madrid. Uma may come too!!! That would be so cool to have two of my best friends here at the same time...but we'll see. We'll spend the weekend in Madrid, and if my friend Matt comes, we may take bus to Toledo to check that out for the day. Really stoked for this.

Thennnn, Annie and I are going to Barcelona for 4 days due to my awesome ability to find cheap flights. It's basically as far away from my city as you can get in the country, and we got round-trip tickets for 65 euro each. I'm hoping to Couchsurf there to 1) save money and 2) show Annie how awesome Couchsurfing is.

Finally, two weeks after that, for Semana Santa I'll be heading back to see my mates in Herbede-Witten, Germany. They've lured me in with Doner (turkish kebab, but felafel in my case), beer and a road-trip to Paris. I would have gone anyway, but I've been really wanting to get to Paris and it would be an awesome way to do it. Woot!

So, please, if anyone has any suggestions on things to do, or wants a postcard or something from anywhere I'm going, drop me a line and I'll get it to you. Peace and love!
