 Tetouan Morocco, Chefchaouen Morocco, Tetouan Morocco  - Woke up at around 8:30 AM, we took a cab to our classroom where we would have class. Basically camilo just lectured about the old medina in Tetouan and how it's a unesco world heritage site.  - After class we went on a bus and we have a daytrip to chefchaouen, a tourist town on a hill  - Along the way we stopped in a rural farm where we talked to the family and they hosted us for lunch. It was a really cool experience, it was so cool seeing that at the end of the day its just another farm, every country operates this sort of rural farm dynamic the same. Except here they have some of their own Morocco ways like the food they eat, but its honestly really cool to be able to experience the other aspects of Morocco and all that, like I really have a lot to say and I feel so bad for doing this but I really have to sleep right now its like 2:55 AM so I will skip my reflection from this mostly, i really liked their hospitality and t

 granada spain, malaga spain, manilva spain  - woke up at 8 am, ate 2 pieces of toast with butter and milk, we wrote the card and we gave it to klein and he said he didnt write anything because he doesnt know spanish💀 he literally left before us and just said goodbye to the homestay very casually and dipped forever. Anyway we gave them the nuts and the card and we hugged it was sad leaving, seriously living in the homestay was so transformative and it was an experience that money can't buy, it was just so pure every day eating with them, wtaching the news or soccer, talking to them in spanish, going to their recommendations, and just watching them cheer and smile when spain was advancing. The food we were eating was also so great and convenient and it was just so great to be able to get to know true authentic Spanish food on a daily basis. My favorite dishes that they cooked was either the paella or the pasta. I also liked the smoothies and the croquetas, they deserve honorahble m

 today i woke up at 6:40 AM to catch the 7:20 bus that goes south east to a hiking trail: You can see the yellow star there, thats the hiking trail. It was my last day in Granada and pretty much the last thing in my mind was to go to the Sierra Nevadas or do something of that nature. One of our tour guides Borja told me about this place and that it's nice and relatively short. I was going by myself since Ian said he wanted to sleep in.  Ok anyway so I was running on like a fig bar and like half of a sticky protein bar and it was just so early but it was nice because it was cool in the morning. Now the hike was very cool. It was definitely a hike I've never done before. There were like suspension bridges and really narrow parts where there were jagged rocks pointing out and you had to duck and crawl under it, it was definitely very crazy and scary. There's this big suspension bridge that goes super high above the ground and the waterfall. I captured it all on my gopro, I was
