Mom - Dad - I´m coming home a lot smaller. I´ve probably sweated off about ten pounds in my first two days in Granada. If you understand Celsius - it´s 40 degrees right now and it´s eight o´clock in the evening!!!!! No wonder everyone stays out until 2 or 3 in the morning.
:) Which is exactly what I will be doing tonight! My friend Sarah, who is touring some high schoolers around Spain, is in Granada until Tuesday. She met some locals (David et al), who in turn would like to hang out with me and teach me Spanish. I´ve been speaking Spanish pretty much all day today! Between that and the sweat, I´m ready for a shower and a nap before going out tonight.
No pictures yet of anything worthy of this blog. But I thought I would update people with what´s happened so far: tapas, tinto de verano, shewermas, cerveza, and coffee. :) Got all that?
I didn´t think so. Tinto de verano is a great red wine spritzer they drink only in the summertime (de verano). It´s wine, but it doesn´t taste like it. It´s great when you´re really tired and hot and you need to sit down and relax. Cerveza is good for that too, but tinto de verano is special. The tapas are very yummy. Tortillas español - deliciosas!!!
So, hopefully I´ll have some fun pictures and some tourist pictures from tonight and Tuesday (the Alhambra). :) Other than that, I´m enjoying the little streets (that I haven´t got lost in... yet) and the company of warm-hearted people like Randi (who took me into her home while I´m here), David and Sarah.
That´s about all for now!! Time for sweaty Liz to melt away.....
