soooooo
After a 5 1/2 hour bus ride from a three day stay in Madrid, I am now in Granada. I have completed one night, one and a half days, and I love it. I´ve been ssssshhhhtarving since the plane ride over...these people just don´t know how to eat. slash maybe they just eat things other than cheeseburgers which i am still trying to understand. last night a bunch of us from the CSU-IP group went exlploring and we found this GNARLY view of la alhambra. it was breath taking...i had been to it before but the way they had it lit up at night looked like a famous painting you would see in a museum...not that i would necessarily see it if it was in a museum because i would not dare step foot in such facilities on my own free will...¡
anyway
there seems to be a lot of opportunities for housing and such where i currently am staying, however its pretty much nowhere near the two schools (that are on opposite sides of the town from eachother) that i will be going to...so i gotta go take a hike and get on that.
the people here so far are really friendly and pretty understanding of my shameful ¨spanish¨...thats the store owners at least. women walking down the street LOVE to stare (as if i look like im not from spain or something?) with the most stone cold face youve ever seen so its like wow this is uncomfortable i guess ill just smile and they give you back an even worse look as if to say HOW DARE YOU SMILE AT ME YOU BABY MURDERER at which point i frantically look around as if i know exactly where i am going and have a very important meeting to get to...its the only way.
they had this tour de france thing (minus it was in spain) through granada today and there were all these cameras and vans and toooonnnss of people waiting for the bikers to come through and finally they did pedalling at the speed of light with cars and biker policemen trying to keep up. it was pretty rad.
everyone here is preeeeeeetty much gorgeous. like the chicks...i dont even know they walk around as if they are going to prom when they are just going to get some water. im like well hell i cant keep up with that i guess ill just keep wearing my embarassing touristy bag and flip flops... even the trashmen are somethin to look at...im like well shoot can i help you lift that trashcan señor?
anwaaayyyy
guess thats all for now....doubt my other blogs will be this long because A i wont remember to write anything and B they just wont be as long. unless they are.

well. time to go get run over by a scooter bolting down the steet.

i´ll try to get some pictures up here ASAP...if i can figure it out...
