The Weather is a Bit... Scotland

People almost always assume the weather in Scotland is terrible. Nearly everyone tends to picture eternal cold and rain. The reality is, however, that despite the somewhat regular rain and clouds it is much warmer here than it is in the American Northeast where at this time of year it is below freezing almost every day. For instance, today it's 41 degrees F (5 degrees C) and that's pretty typical.

Hola from España!

Hola desde España! My name is Carolina Alvarez and I am currently studying abroad in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. I know it may seem somewhat strange that I am studying on an island and you're probably wondering why I chose Palma over Madrid or Barcelona. I am a student at College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts. Holy Cross only has programs in three locations in Spain: A Coruña, Leon, and Palma de Mallorca.
