Diwali 2005

Happy Diwali, 2005, and thanks to Anand's dad, who is taking the picture!! We can always count on Anand's mom to throw a fabulous party, with excellent food, festive decorations, and lively atmosphere. Until next year!!!

Pilar's Class

Anand and Sabrina (left), became best friends and were speaking like Andalucians after just 2 weeks of individualized instruction from their amazing teacher, Pilar. We miss you, Pilar!!

The Spanish call this a "new" bridge!!

Well, I'm only guessing, but I think this bridge is older than the Golden Gate! Nevertheless, if you go to the town of Ronda & ask directions to the beautiful bridge in all the tourist books, they will ask "you mean the new bridge?" This may be confusing initially, but you see, the OLD bridge fell down about 300 years ago, so this is the NEW bridge.

Malaga Plus

In Academia M'alaga Plus, the only other chica Americana, Rachel, and I tried our best to learn & have fun with our favorite teacher, Concha. (Photo by classmate, Albert Spaeter, an easy-going and friendly guy who speaks German, English, Italian & darn good Spanish!!)
