It´s yet another holiday in Granada (that´s two this week), so everything is closed and I forgot to buy food. We are amazingly good at scrounging up something to eat, though, and in the process we´ve discovered some pretty tasty meals. Frank Sinatra´s favorite breakfast, which was apparently a pasta omelette, turns out to be delicious with a little hot sauce. Add some coffee and Bailey´s and you feel like you´re rolling in luxurious... well, luxury.
I just got back from my last trip to Morocco for the semester and had the chance to say a little goodbye to my friends in Rabat and Asilah. I had the best group ever, and they made the trip great. I learned a lot as we went, which always makes the trip better for me. This weekend I am headed back up to the Alpujarra to see Mathis and Mariann and the family, so I can´t ask for a better way to end the semester.
I had a good meeting with my boss yesterday, and things in that department are getting better. I am working with him to develop the Alpujarra program, and also starting to talk about creating an organization in Colorado. He´s the detail mastermind, so he is good at helping me recognize what questions I am not asking. We´ll see how it goes.
Mom comes next week. I have until the 15th to finish my midterm report for my capstone. Considering that I haven´t really started, I guess I will be in front of a computer a lot in the next few days. It will be a good distraction from waiting for mom to get here. Anybody have any creative ideas about writing something about social identity/immigration/art/music that might be something someone would want to read? I don´t think academic writing and I will get along well right now.
After talking to Arnd, I´ve been thinking about what kind of organization I would start if I could. Pablo? Spencer? I know you´re out there. Wanna do something cool and on a mountain and in Spanish? Look, Paul, you even have a Spanish name already, so you´re halfway there!!
I´ll keep daydreaming and meet you on the other side. Love you all. H

Sure, why not? I like doing things on mountains... I was even considering seeing if YOU'd be interested in doing something on a mountain in colorado w/ me @ KSS this summer. I'll make a more detailed proposition later.
Why don't we start a program for insanely wealthy estadounidense high school students to travel to poor mountainous villages in latin america and do community service for the summer? We could call it ______ Student Travel . . . well, we'll figure out the name later. It's foolproof!
In all seriousness though, I would love to start up a cool organization like that. What is better than living in the mountains and speaking Spanish? Nothing! That's what.
This sounds like the perfect plan to develop over hot tea and gingersnaps sometime . . . although given that you're living in Spain sangria and tapas might work too.
