Stupendo, fabuloso...

Words Jim's colleague in Spain used to describe the open textbook and their working together.  Jesuias is going to start using the text this November in his Masters classes.  It fits so well because the University of Almeria  allows profs to use the online medium for up to 70% of Masters classes.  He also hopes to involve Jim in an online tutoring capacity….all very exciting!

We will probably go to Spain next Fall for Jim to participate in the European Erasmus program where professors are invited to come for up to a month to give special lectures and work with faculty.  They pay travel and an honorarium .  Jesuias wanted Jim to come this Fall but we wanted to have the full winter season in Palm Springs.  Next year we'll probably be ready for a break from that and happy to spend a shorter time.  Jesuias is keen to take us to his favourite places in Andalusia and the weather will be Palm Springs like at that time of year.

A few photos from our November, 2010 trip.

 Jim and Jesuias at the Alhambra.  Jesuias gave us a wonderful tour since he lives in Granada half the time and knows the Alhambra very well.
