August 11, 2017

9 Days of Spain #5: Bullfighting (Part 3)

August 4, 2017

The bull lays there, panting. A torero steps up, a small knife in hand, gauging if there’s any fight still left in it. There isn’t. … More 9 Days of Spain #5: Bullfighting (Part 3)

9 Days of Spain #4: Bullfighting (Part 2)

July 28, 2017

One of the banderilleros decides he’s ready, and yells at the bull to charge him. Like a well-trained acrobat, he leaps out of the way while simultaneously plunging the banderilla into the same spot punctured by the picador’s spear. … More 9 Days of Spain #4: Bullfighting (Part 2)

9 Days of Spain #3: Bullfighting (Part 1)

July 24, 2017

The black bull came out running straight toward him, and the matador didn’t move out of the way. At all. He trusted the bull to follow the cape instead of him, and he flourished the cape up and around his head, the bull missing him by mere inches. … More 9 Days of Spain #3: Bullfighting (Part 1)

9 Days of Spain #2: Finding the Best Beach (Part 2)

July 19, 2017

After discovering the cave that led to more hidden beaches, I began poking my head in a lot of innocent-looking crevices. Apparently crabs can climb rocks like spiders. … More 9 Days of Spain #2: Finding the Best Beach (Part 2)

9 Days of Spain #1: Finding the Best Beach (Part 1)

16 Spanish Foods: Rico, Dulce, and Asco

June 19, 2017

Before dinner: “I’m sure I’ll be back to pescatarianism in no time.” After dinner: “You know, I think I’m a pescatarian plus ham, now.” … More 16 Spanish Foods: Rico, Dulce, and Asco

Heladerias Galore: Spanish Progress Update

June 10, 2017

Another girl who was with me asked if I was Latina because my spoken Spanish was so good. Not “are you from Spain” or “are you adopted,” but “are you, the whitest person in my line of vision, Latina.” I think that just made this entire trip worth it. … More Heladerias Galore: Spanish Progress Update

Seville Travel Journal #1: 13 Rapid Reviews

June 1, 2017

We were off riding again a moment later, breathing in the scent of countless oranges sprawled across the walkways, speeding beneath canopies of blue jacarandas trees, the water on my arms feeling fantastic in the wind. Some doves took off as we rode by, keeping pace with the bikes so they seemed to be standing still in the air. … More Seville Travel Journal #1: 13 Rapid Reviews
