Asturias (May 2009)

Here are my top 40-something pictures from my trip to Spain. The northern region where I stayed is called Asturias, and I lived in a city called Gijón. I stayed there for 3.5 weeks for my senior internship. I shadowed various schools (ranging from toddlers to college students), made comparisons between the education systems in Spain and in the U.S., as well as helped out in English classes, lived like the Asturianos, and of course, captured it all on film. Hope ya like!

I’ve had all kinds of fun snapping photos of the boys from my favorite band, Fools & Horses. It helps that they’re from Baltimore and don’t mind playing close to home. Not to mention, they’re very photogenic! Some of these photos have been sitting in my library, half-edited for weeks. But I FINALLY got my act together and picked out my favorites. After you enjoy the photos, check out their website: http://foolsandhorses.net/social/ , and listen to their music! Even my father approves! Sincerely Sophie

This week in Israel, I've been blessed with the presence of my dear family, to include my father, step mother, and two sisters. My boss at the stable as well as the staff on my program have been kind enough to let me spend time with them.

Aside from venturing to Tel Aviv to experience the deaf museum (no speaking aloud!), scavenging for gifts on Ben Yehuda, eating out at exotic restaurants, and introducing them to my boyfriend, we went to the Old City in the center of Jerusalem. I snapped a few shots that I hope you will enjoy. What do you think?

Loved the clouds.

My fashionista sister is such a stud! She looks so cute in her red coat :)

We have twin cameras, so we decided to take a twin pho

Israeli flag and the Western Wall (the Kotel).

Something shattered.

Pillars and a pretty sky.

Dad and Michal and their Nikons.

Daddy in photographer stance. He looks great!

I love finding pre-framed pictures like this one, thanks to the stone arch.

Knick-knacks!

Full moon over the Old City.

Dramatized flag.

Happy twenty-ten everyone! What are your resolutions this year?

Sincerely Sophie

I love these photos- I bet I have a bunch of similar ones on my camera. I'm stealing my fashion shot for G3B ;)

Soph, great job! It is a lot of fun being with you this week, sorry it has to end so soon, but we will be in touch--I am sure that the balance of the year will be great for you! Then we'll see you in May!
Love, Daddy

Hi Sophie: I especially like the cracked glass photo! I loved spending time with you this week. We're having fun in London: Tower of London yesterday, Kensington Palace today (where Princess Diana lived), "Wicked" tonight, and a Beatles exhibit at the National Portrait gallery tomorrow morning, then it's back to Baltimore for us. Keep in touch!
Love,
Donna
