Work is still going well, I believe I finished the painting so I would love to know what they have in store for me tomorrow.

On Wednesday night I made fajitas and had an early night, Thursday was the Flanenco show which was really cool and we had a great time.

Today in work we continued on painting the mural on the wall. The kids then performed a dance routine for world peace day which was great to see.

Pretty cool day in work as it was world peace day and the dance classes they have been practicing for the last few weeks came into place today outside the school next to the fountain in the square where there was parent and spectators watching on as they performed the dance and it was great to see. Had McDonald’s for lunch once again and after lunch I got to help with a dance routine for the kids although I didn’t know what I was doing.in the last class it was more of a like fun class for them and one the students who’s really good with technology was showing them how to play a game on the computers which was intriguing and fun to watch.After work I started to pack to get a head start and then hit the town to pick up some souvenirs where we bumped into Laura and Paula. Then stopped in the cafe next to the ibis for lunch. When I got home I started to pack before getting ready for the flamenco show. It was brilliant to see there culture and a very entertaining night, we then went the karaoke bar as it’s one the last nights and finished off the night again watching a film in the cinema room

Out of the whole trip, today was definitely the highlight. It was peace day in the crèche which was a lot of fun, I got a tattoo, we got to see a flaminco show and went to karaoke after. Flaminco is a type of Spanish dancing; I think they were trying to tell a story but as the singing was in Spanish I couldn’t understand but that doesn’t mean I was highly interested. I was extremely intrigued and impressed by the performance and enjoyed it. After the show we went to a karaoke bar which was definitely the highlight of the night, almost everyone came and it was slightly awkward at the beginning but as it went on we all got along great and I think everyone really enjoyed it. I personally think I gave a great performance.

This day started nicely with a quiet day of work experience and a pleasant meal before going for the aspiring hike.

I dressed in loose light clothes and my most applicable shoes to fully prep for the hike.

It turned out to be a lovely stroll, and it was filled with the most incredible sights, including the defeated faces of my friends after reaching the top.

The huge bull fighting arena was a particular shock as i had no idea it would be so apparent.

As today is the 30th of January Spain is celebrating Peace Day. This day is dedicated to teaching peace and non-violence in schools.

Every year, classrooms across Spain pause their regular lessons to do something peaceful.

As I was in my work placement in OXO a group of school kids were marching for this day.

After days of fighting myself I finally decided to get my tattoo. The tulip was my grandads favorite flower and today is his 12 anniversary from home so I sucked it up and got it done.

Today I came in to crèche and was asking to tie ribbon around the balloons that megan and hannah had been blowing up. After I finished that we then brought the balloons to the different classrooms. We put ribbon on balloon stands and brought them into the older classes and then one of the teachers Jessi was putting string around the room and asked us to tie doves to the string. They told us that they were having a party for the children to celebrate the day of peace. During the party they sang and done a dance that we had been practicing all week then we went back to class for lunch.

On Tuesday we went for a tour of alcazaba and learned a lot of the rise of Christianity in Spain and political tensions surrounding the time period.

After we reached the palace we returned to the base we followed a path leading to Gibralfaro which was a bit longer and steeper of a walk but the views were amazing at the top. Unfortunately any services were closed by the time we arrived but it didn’t take us nearly as long when we were returning.

These 2 photos just emphasize how little you have to go to get incredible views here.
