Amy Mahanay Salamanca, Spring 2009

Amy is a Junior at Occidental College in Los Angeles, CA. Last semester she participated in the IES Paris program, and this semester she has been accepted into the IES Salamanca program. She is majoring in French & Spanish Literary Studies. She is looking forward to Salamanca because she wants her Spanish to improve as much as her French did in Paris, and she is also looking forward to living in a smaller, closer town.

  After leaving Salamanca, I went back to Paris for a week. It was so much fun to see where I’d started out at the beginning of the year, and to reflect upon how much my French & Spanish language skills had improved.

  My friend and I took a trip to Southern France last weekend, and it was soooooo beautiful! We flew into Marseille, and then hopped a bus to Nice. I think Nice is the most gorgeous city I’ve seen, especially down by the beach. They’re rock beaches, which makes laying out a little less comfortable, but [...]

  Sevilla is my favorite Spanish city! It’s gorgeous, filled with history, and sunny! When we arrived, my friends and I went to tour the Cathedral of Sevilla. It’s huge, and beautiful! A piece of advice, though–whenever touring a Cathedral or Castle in the winter/early spring, bring a jacket! It may be sunny and nice outside [...]

  I spent last semester studying with IES Paris, so these are all my best pictures from last semester. My favorite place to visit was Versailles, as you can see all the photos I took there! I would definitely reccommend renting a bike there, because all the different views you get of the palace, the fountains, [...]
