let the soothing water rush

over me. There, through the

trees I saw the majestic

the impressive display of

Mother Nature’s power.

This picturesque andunspoiled mining town'spalaces of pale pinkstonework, baroque-style facades, towersand paved streetsstunned me. We rodethe overhead cable car,which takes you to thehighest point in the city,the Bufa, for the mostamazing view of the area.

Underground streets andan alley so narrow thatlovers can stand onbalconies on opposite sidesand kiss! I had to seeGuanajuato for myself. Imust say I was notdisappointed in thischarming city with brassbands in the plazas, theJuarez Theater and amost intriguing history.

Guanajuato

Gold-sand beaches and cobble-stone streets were only partof the charm that captivatedme in Puerto Vallarta. Whilethe town is simply lovely, thebest part of the trip was thatwe were able to witness themigration of the humpbackwhales from flat boats thattook us out into the ocean.They were jumping and playingso close I could almost touchthem!

All themerchants were eager tohaggle over the price oftheir wares, which madeshopping extremely exciting!

Tlaquepaque & Tonalá

I was told that Michoacán,known as being nestledbetween tree-coveredmountains and havingbeautiful beaches, is just offthe beaten path enough thatit is as close to the realMexico as there possibly is. Ifound the culture there wasrich and I made sure topurchase some of theirexcellent handicrafts.

Wemade sure to meet up in theafternoon for a dip in thearea's delicious natural hotsprings.

It was great to escape theheat of Alicante and take adip in the cool mountainspring waters of the AlgarFountains. After our cooldown, we traveled throughsome amazing scenery to theancient village of Guadalest,settled by the Moors. Thevillage is unique, as it is anold urban center located atthe top of an outcrop,accessed only by a tunnelhollowed in the rock.

Algar Fountains & Guadalest

This weekend I discoveredthe Moorish influence inGranada. It is home to theAlhambra, which is consideredby some to be one of the 10wonders of the world. TheAlbaicín, the old Arabicquarter, is an oil painter’sparadise and almost at everyturn of the head there is anattractive view, usually involving glimpses of theAlhambra.

Granada

There are many beautiful towns andvillages along the coast and inlandof the Costa Blanca, all offeringsomething unique. We visited fourexquisite locations. We relaxed onJavea's most popular beach, thePlaya del Arenal, visited Denia'scastle and walked up its coastlinetaking note of the beautiful coves.We also saw the best view of theCosta Blanca from the Peñón deIfach in Calpe and enjoyed the viewof the cobalt dome of the churchof the Virgen del Consuelo in Altea.

Costa Blanca

Valencia is a great moderncity and one of Spain’slargest. We spent some timerelaxing on the sandy beachesand later explored theintricate architecture of thecity’s old district, includingthe City of Arts and Sciences.The festival of Las Fallas inMarch is another key attrac-tion. The residents buildfantastic “ninot” floats frompaper mache, wood and wax.¡Qué interesante!

Valencia

We had a wonderful time inBarcelona. The architectureis so interesting! Gaudi’sSagrada Familia was myfavorite. We spent timeambling down “Las Ramblas”, atree lined promenade, andvisited the Gothic district,where we had some Cataloniantapas. I enjoyed “Pa ambtomaca” the best!

Barcelona Tabarca Island is just a shortboat trip from Alicante. Declareda Natural Marine Reserve, thesurrounding waters are teemingwith spectacular marine life. Iwas able to snorkel in the pristinewaters of this marine sanctuary.This small 2km long island isoutlined by beautiful beachesmuch quieter and tranquil thanon the mainland.

Take a Closer LookCalçotada

A very traditionalCatalan dish is thecalçotada (kal·so·TA·da).The calçotada, whichcomes from the regionof Tarragona, is madeby cooking calçots, alocal variety of springonions, over an openflame. When cooked,the spring onions charon the outside, but remain tender inside. You eat them bybrushing off the outer layer of ash and dipping thevegetable into romesco sauce, a spicy sauce made frompeppers, crushed almonds, olive oil and tomato. Thecalçotada symbolizes the coming of spring and every year alarge festival celebrating the calçotada is held in Valls in theprovince of Tarragona. Calçotada is popular in restaurantsand often served on a traditional terracotta roof tile, whichhelps keep the vegetables warm.

There is no better way to discover

what it means to be an

American than to travel abroad.

- Justin Bland, Summer 2003University of Oregon

Sometimes it is nice to take a break from the books and join a pick up game ofbasketball on campus.


Córdoba was once thecapital of Muslim Spainand is home to one of thelargest and oldest mosquesin the world. I was awedby the beautiful architec-ture that has been so wellpreserved for centuries.We also strolled throughthe old Jewish quarter,with its shaded, narrowwinding streets andbeautiful courtyards.

El Escorial is a 16th centuryroyal palace-monastery, thelargest Spanish building ofthe Renaissance period. Ithouses important master-pieces from the royalHapsburg collections, which Iwas thrilled to gaze upon. Ialso visited the impressiveValle de los Caídos memorial,which Franco built for thosewho died in the Spanish Civilwar.

El Escorial & Valle de los Caídos

We enjoyed visiting two oldSpanish towns this weekend.Encircled by 11th centurystonewalls, Ávila is one ofSpain's best-preservedmedieval treasures and madefor an interesting trip. InSalamanca, we strolledthrough the streets, home tomany striking baroquesandstone buildings and theoldest university in theSpanish speaking world.

Ávila & Salamanca

Today we visited Segovia, atown outside of Madrid witha fully functioning Romanaqueduct. I can't believethat something built in the1st century BC is still inuse! We also visited theAlcazar, an 11th centurycastle and military fortresssaid to have been theinspiration for Walt Disney'sdesign of Sleeping Beauty'scastle.

Segovia

Toledo, called the City ofThree Cultures, reallyimpressed me! From theAlcazar, a 10th centuryMoorish fortress, to the 16thcentury Cathedral, to theSynagogue , this city displaysthe peaceful coexistence ofthese three rich cultures. Ontop of all of that, the beauti-ful scenery surrounding thecity was a great break fromthe busy streets of Madrid.

Toledo I was in awe this weekendwhen we visited Spain's most

well-known monument, the

Alhambra. We spent several

hours wandering through the

lush gardens, beautifulrooms and patios of thisancient palace. Afterwards,

we strolled through theAlbaicín, Granada's Arabquarter, and relaxed with a

cup of tea at one of the many

tetarías. I think Granada is

my new favorite Spanish city!

“ “There's no way you could possibly have a bad

experience in such a beautiful, friendly and

jovial place, and CEA goes above and beyond

the call of duty to make sure you have

nothing short of an amazing time.

- Brendan Burke, Fall 2003University of California, Santa Barbara

You are bound to see everyone in the Plaza Mayor, one of the finest squaresin Spain. You will often hear the phrase “debajo del reloj,” or “under theclock” when planning a meeting place in Salamanca.

Take a Closer LookLa Rana

Every city has its own legendsand folklore that make themspecial, and Salamanca is nodifferent.

The legend of la Rana (thefrog) is famous among univer-sity students throughoutSpain. This bit of superstitionsurrounding the University ofSalamanca stems from a smallfrog carved into the façade of the 16th century main universitybuilding. It is perched among hundreds of intricate carvingsand can be quite difficult to find. Luck will find you, however,if you are able to spot it, as it is said that if you can find la Ranayou are sure to have success on your exams. Even better, if youcan find la Rana unaided, you will return to Salamanca in thefuture. What better luck could a student ask for!

I was surprised by the size of this

palace-monastery, the largest

Spanish building of the Renais-

sance. It holds an impressive

collection of art and the remains

of all of the kings of Spain. The

most curious tomb is shaped like

a birthday cake which was for

very young princes and princesses.

Nearby, we visited “La Cruz del

Valle de los Caídos”, a monument

constructed to honor the men who

fought and died on both sides of

the Spanish Civil war.

Walking through its streets, I felt

like I stepped back into the

Middle Ages. Toledo was the

capital of Spain from the 13th

century to the 15th century, so

the medieval architecture is

impressive! Toledo was also

renowned for its steel and

sword-making. Kings from all

parts of the world have had

swords and sabers forged in

Toledo. Even Japanese Samurai

were aware of the existence of

Toledo’s steel in the 16th Century!

Toledo

It was nice to venture out intothe province of Galicia and visitthis cultural gem. Santiago isone of the most importantpilgrimages of the Middle Agesand visitors have been flockinghere for centuries from all overthe world. I loved wanderingthrough the old quarter with itsnarrow streets and foundmyself getting lost in the beautyof its Baroque architecture andquaint plazas.

Santiago deCompostela

Our visit to the capital ofthe Extremadura province,Cáceres, was certainly alesson in architecture.Cáreres is characterized byits Roman, Islamic, Gothicand Renaissance architecturein its palaces, convents,towers and churches. I waslost within its labyrinth ofmedieval streets and plazas,of course until I found thefeet of San Pedro and gavethem a rub for good luck.

The first thing that struckme when I stepped into town,was the massive 1,900 yearold aqueduct, which until afew years ago, still broughtwater to the town. We alsotoured the Alcázar, whereChristopher Columbus securedfinancing for his historic tripto the Americas. The castleis rumored to be Disney’sinspiration for SleepingBeauty’s castle.

Take a Closer LookFlamenco

Flamenco is perhaps the mostemblematic symbol of Spanishculture and art. Its exactorigins cannot be attributed toany one particular musicallegacy; rather it evolvedthrough a fusion of Arabic andJewish chants and melodiesfrom both the Near and FarEast brought to southern Spainby gypsies in the 15th century.This beautiful art form isdemonstrated through song, guitar and dance and expressespowerful emotions, from profound sorrow to great joy. It isalso considered to be a dynastic art form, being passed downand developed from generation to generation within gypsyfamilies throughout Spain.

The Triana neighborhood of Seville is often thought of as thebirthplace of the flamenco that we know today and is stillhome to dozens of small bars where live flamenco can still beseen and heard. Flamenco can also be enjoyed in other partsof Seville in tablaos (flamenco bars), fiestas and juergas(informal, private parties). This art form is a great culturaltreasure that is an important component of your experience inSpain.

Seville is known as the birthplace of flamenco. You can participate in danceclasses to prepare for the “Feria de Abril”, Seville’s most famous festival.

Granada is one of Spain's most

well-loved cities. We spent the

weekend exploring the maze of

narrow, cobblestone streets

and enjoying the diverse

culture from the Albaicín, the

The most spectacular site was

the Alhambra, a 14th century

lush gardens and many

beautiful rooms and patios.

My entire life I've heardabout the French Riviera,but being there in person,discovering the Mediter-ranean coast with its beauti-ful beaches and visiting theMatisse museum in Nice, hasbeen the experience of alifetime. I even strolled alongthe famous Promenade desAnglais to watch the sunsetwith the sea on one side andthe posh hotels on the other.Truly memorable!

French Riviera

The village of MoustiersSainte Marie was breathtaking.I now understand why it isfamous for its paintedFaïence porcelain, sold inalmost every shop in town.The surrounding landscapeholds miles upon miles ofsummery lavender fields andLe Lac du Sainte Croix, whichflows out of the beautifulGorges du Verdon.

Moustiers Sainte Marie& Le Lac du Verdon

Strolling down the windingcrooked streets of Avignonand taking in the beautifulGothic architecture wasalmost as neat as visitingthe "Palais des Papes", theformer residence of thepopes of Avignon. I sawhistory come to life in theancient "Pont du Gard"built by Agrippa in the firstcentury.

Avignon & Pont du Gard

The shops which line theboardwalk and the seasiderestaurants have madeCassis stand out in mymind as a terrific Mediter-ranean town. First, we tooka hike along the white rockcliffs and then sunbathedon a stunning beach next tocrystal blue waters. Laterwe enjoyed rich café at themarina.

CassisSince I love the works of

Vincent Van Gogh, visitingArles has been awesome,

as he painted 200 of hismasterpieces in this"Rome of France". Theremains of Roman theaters

and an amphitheater haveinspired my passion forhistory to greater heights,

as they must haveinspired Van Gogh’s art.

I saw two really greatRoman monuments today -the Roman Theater andthe Triumphal Arch inOrange. Almost as incredi-ble as these is the massivewall which surroundsAvignon, making it one ofthe most fascinating townsI've ever seen. SouthernFrance is simply awe-inspiring in beauty andhistory.

Orange-Avignon

Pont du Gard, a huge bridgeand aqueduct built over2,000 years ago, really putthe amazing architecture andhistory of the area intoperspective. Afterwards, wespent time in the medievalwalled city of Aigues-Mortes,or “dead waters”, where thelocal festival “Revivre” hadbegun.

Ski Weekend in the Alps

We spent the day wanderingthrough the shops of Lyonand the night experiencing thesparkling light festival of LaFête de la Lumière in the olddowntown area. The nightlifein Lyon was so alive that Icouldn't help but enjoy myselfuntil the wee hours of themorning.

I have always had a passionfor art, so being in Givernywas fabulous. ClaudeMonet’s gardens wereespecially beautiful. Myfavorite place that wevisited was the AmericanImpressionist Museum,which has works fromseveral American artistswho flocked to thisremarkable place to visitMonet throughout his life.

Giverny

I took a cruise down theRhine and it was incredible.The view was unbelievableand the guide told us allabout the history of thearea. Ownership has beendisputed by France andGermany for centuries, and ithas changed hands manytimes. The mix of two cultureshas produced delicious foodand unique architecture. Asa symbol of hope for thefuture, this troubled regionhas become the seat of theEuropean Council.

Strasbourg

Seeing the renownedChambord and Chenoneauchâteaux was breathtaking.The beauty of Loire Valleyand the image of Frenchroyal life made me feel asif I’d walked into astorybook. The 17th centuryartwork and magnificentlymanicured gardens aretruly wonderful.

Loire ValleyChâteaux

Home of French kingsthroughout the centuries, thisgorgeous château was strippedbare during the FrenchRevolution and many of theoriginal furnishings are stillunaccounted for. Napoleontook it upon himself torestore the abandoned palaceand grounds to rival those atVersailles. I also enjoyed theforest, the largest in France,surrounding the château withmany trails.

Fontainbleau

Visiting a champagne cellarin Reims was fascinatingand seeing the magnificentCathédrale Notre-Dame,where every French kinghas been crowned since thedays of Jeanne d'Arc, wasincredible. I feel like I'vestepped back in time.

Reims Today I climbed thewinding streets of theGothic monastery, MontSt. Michel, built on arocky islet which overlooksthe largest bay in Europe.My jaw dropped twicetoday at the sight of suchsplendor - both of the bayand the monastery. This1,000 year-old wonder is truly an awesomeattraction!

Take A Closer LookCome si dice?

Italians are often considered passionate people. What betterway to understand their heartbeat than by knowing andspeaking some of the phrases they use everyday?

Dove si va?: "Dove andiamo?", "Where are we going?" Floren-tines often use the reflexive form of a verb, even though it isgramatically incorrect. For example: Dove si mangia?, Cosa si fa?"Where should we eat?" "What are we doing?"

Non c'è male: "Not bad." A common response when askedhow you're doing.

Fare un giro: "to take a trip" Whether it be to the nightclub, themarket or to Rome, this expression literally expresses the actionof going somewhere with intentions of returning. Domani faccioun giro al mare. "Tomorrow I'm going to the beach."

Fare uno squillo: "to telephone" A casual way of callingsomeone.

Figurati: "Go figure!" This is used both as a response to "Thankyou," as in "no problem" and in the same way that Americansuse it - to express wonder.

Mangiare un boccone: "To get something to eat quickly", "Togo have a bite to eat."

“ “

[During class] they would take us outinto the streets of Florence to teach us

about the Italian way of life, creating anincredible experience and passion for

Italy that will last forever!! I loved it!!!

To be in Assisi and see thehometown of St. Francis wasso cool.

Wealso saw the great paintingsof Giotto and Martini.

A labyrinth of windingstreets, canals, channels,piazzas and bridges almostmade me dizzy with fun aswe explored this famous city.My roommate and I enjoyed acalming gondola ride throughthe meandering canals, visitedthe Doges' Palace andstrolled through the pigeonsin the Piazza San Marco.

Take A Closer LookThe Legend of Romulus & Remus

Throughout the ages, Rome has been a city of majesty and war.Perhaps this is only natural given its legendary beginnings.Long ago, King Numitor was overthrown by his brotherAmulius. Not wanting any competition to the throne, Amuliusforced Numitor's daughter, Rhea Silvia, to become a vestalvirgin. However, Mars, the god of war, desired Rhea Silvia andtogether they conceived twin sons, Romulus and Remus.Amulius discovered their existence and left them to die in atrough in the Tiber River. Fate kept the trough afloat as it saileddown river and to shore. Two sacred animals of Mars, a she-wolf and a woodpecker, nursed the boys until they werediscovered by one of the king's shepherds who raised them ashis own.

Romulus and Remus became adventurous young men whosought out and murdered Amulius, restoring their grandfatherto the throne. In 753 BC the two returned to the land wheretheir lives had been spared as infants and decided to establish acity each upon neighboring hills. Romulus built a wall aroundhis new city, but Remus laughed at how low it was and toprove his point leapt over the wall. Romulus, infuriated by hisbrother's mockery, slew him. He then named his city Rome(Roma) after himself. To populate his city, he invited exiles andfugitives to dwell in its walls and kidnapped women fromSabines to be the men's wives. After many years as ruler, hedisappeared mysteriously during a storm. It is said he wastaken to heaven by his father, where he now dwells as the godQuirinus.

Rome's port city, founded 400years after Rome, at one timewas a thriving metropolitanarea. Today I walked alongthose same streets in OstiaAntica, visiting frescoed housesand baths in this remarkablypreserved ancient city. Afterseeing the oldest synagoguediscovered in Italy, weactually went back to one ofthe baths and experienced itfirsthand!

Ostia

I visited Pompeii,preserved by the ash andlava spewed by theeruption of Mt. Vesuvius in79 A.D. The famousfrescoes of the House ofVetti gave me an idea ofwhat the houses of thewealthiest of merchantsmust have looked like. TheForum Baths and theSacraruim of the Laresimpressed me with theglamour of this former city,now merely dust.

Pompeii

Blue skies, red tiled roofs,soaring cathedrals, ornatepalaces, amazing art collec-tions and fabulous shoppingawaited my arrival in thethriving city of Florence. Ifinally visited world famoussites such as the Galleria degliUffizi, Florence's Duomo,Palazzo Vecchio and one ofthe city's many bountifulmarkets. I can see whyFlorence is for lovers, but Istill had fun!

Florence

The Tuscan sun truly ismore beautiful than any I've

seen yet. Siena’s medieval

atmosphere is preserved by

the walls and gates thatsurround the city. With all

of its gorgeous paintings, I

enjoyed visiting the Gothic

municipal palace the most.

While there, I also learned

that Siena has rivaledFlorence politically andculturally for generations.

Siena

Sailing around the isle ofCapri was great! The viewwas extraordinary, but whatmade this excursion the bestwas sailing into the BlueGrotto, the most famous ofcaverns along the coastline.As we drifted through themysterious surroundings, ourguide wove a wonderful

tapestry of maritime storiesof days gone by. Howcolorful!

Capri We explored Hadrian's Villawith its extravagantgardens and gorgeousfountains. I almost felt likea Roman senator, escapingto the serene beautyoverlooking the Romancampagna away from theheat of Rome. If you’relooking for the poster-child of ancient excess, lookno further. Wow!

Take A Closer LookFrog Cakes

Balfours, the largest bakeryin Australia and based inAdelaide, has been aroundsince the 1800's. Theirmascot and what hasbecome a South Australianheritage icon wasintroduced in the 1920's -the Frog Cake. Do not getthe wrong idea; these arenothing like meat pies, but rather a tasty sponge cake coverd ina special butter cream and shelled in color fondant which takesthe shape of a cute frog head croaking on top.

Much like the Krispy Kreme phenomenon that has stormedNorth America, Aussies seem to always enjoy an opportunity toeat a Frog Cake. In fact, there is now an assortment of Frog Cakesavailable, from chocolate ones to holiday frogs, like the EasterYellow Chick Frog Cake and the Red Father Christmas FrogCake. The cakes have gained such a following that one coupleeven piled them high as a substitute for their wedding cake.Knowing this, be sure to sample a few Frog Cakes while you arestudying Down Under. You can find them at the Balfours storein Rundle Mall, or in many grocery or convenience storesthroughout Adelaide.

Take A Closer LookLondon Transportation

There are three modes oftransportation the trueLondoner uses: feet, tubeand taxi. Although thefirst two might be a bitlighter on your pocket-book, there is nothingquite like taking a Londontaxi. Not only are thevehicles specially madefor the sole purpose ofcarting people around thecity, but the cars are madeextra comfortable for thecabbies, who spend on average 3,000 hours a year driving them.

With a few exceptions, no vehicle is allowed to ply for hire on thestreets of London without being able to do a u-turn in 25 feet,which allows cab drivers to do a quick swivel when they see awealthy fare in front of Harrods. No worries about crazy driversthough; each of the 24,000 licensed taxi drivers in London havehad to pass the famous Knowledge test, which the London TaxiDrivers Association says takes one to two years of full-time

study to obtain. A greenmetal badge indicatesthat the driver has thefull Knowledge qualifi-cation, a yellow badgeonly a particular sub-urban area. You can besure that taking a cab inLondon will get youwhere you need to besafely and in style.

“ “One of the most incredible aspects ofstudying abroad with CEA is the

opportunity to form relationships with others in the program, while at the same

time learning so much about yourself.Living in London was an amazing

experience that has impacted my life andwho I am in so many ways - whatever youhave to do, make the sacrifices, get out

there and enjoy life... you won't regret it!

As we approached the mysteriousstone outcropping, I was awe-struck, knowing the ancientshauled all these 5-ton stones intoplace. First built around 3,000BC, the stonehenge we see isactually the third incarnation ofthe monument built before 1,500BC. On our way back to London,we stopped at the SalisburyCathedral, whose highest spirerises to 123 meters and holds thebest preserved Magna Carta andEurope's oldest working clock.
