| Generalife in Granada |
A trip to Andalusia- finally! Lauren, Danairy, Tatiana (from Russia) and I flew into Malaga last Thursday night. We stayed at a resort (practically) for 11 euros each! Then we headed to Granada by bus. I had sherry for the first time in Granada (or vino de Jerez as they say in Spain). Woowee! It tastes...interesting. I'm going to learn to be a fan of it because I think drinking sherry is something really sophisticated people do. We stayed in the most narrow hotel in the world, according to Guinness Book of World Records in 1997. There was a Mexican restaurant right next door, so we ate there twice, of course. We got tricked into going into a club that did NOT really offer free drinks. Then we went to a hookah bar. The best part was the
Alhambra, of course, the old palace/fortress constructed by the Moorish people ages ago.

| Real Alcazar in Sevilla |
In Sevilla we went a Flamenco show! It was so cool! We meet some crazy old people from California and San Antonio who sat behind us and talked to us the whole time. The big attraction in Sevilla is the
Real Alcazar and
La Giralda tower of the Cathedral. We walked to the Plaza de España and rented a cart to drive around the beautiful park. You know those things that have in Galveston like
this? Tatiana had never driven any sort of thing that moves EVER in her life. Needless to say, we crashed into the bushes and it was hysterical. Maybe that's why my parents would never let me drive one on our vacations to the gulf! ha. I had a blueberry muffin and a latte from Starbucks! mmmhm. That is one of the only things that makes me miss America.
This past weekend I went to a "campamento" with GBU (college ministry in Europe). It was really fun. Summary: played cards, learned new Spanish words and phrases, basked (basqued, rather) in the sun, and developed cool Christian relationships! Success.
Today is a beautiful day. More freckles on my face is a sign that summer is almost here! YAY!
