The Weekend!

So! Here were are in the homestretch! It's our final weekend in Spain. Lexi and I opted to skip out on the school conducted trip to Candelada and instead we are going to Granada! When you find bus tickets for €16 and a hostel with good reviews for €12, it's time to throw a shirt in your backpack and get on a bus for five hours.

I'm pretty pumped. I've always wanted to go to Andalusia, and I'm excited to see things with a ton of Muslim influence as well. Not to mention our hostel has "paella" night on Saturdays, so when Lexi and I come back we will be experts at making and eating it.

So no updates until Sunday or Monday now, sorry guys. In the meantime, here is a picture of me and Kat! We wandered north from our house the other day looking for an old mosque. We found it about two blocks away (who knew?!) and then we stumbled across a good five or six other churches, convents, monasteries, whatnot in the immediate vicinity also. Within a several block radius there are just gads and gads of religious buildings (some of which have since been converted into restaurants or residences). We were leaving for school yesterday when we saw a nun walk into the building across the street from our door and when we looked in the doorway we found out that there has been some sort of a convent literally six paces away from us the entire stay. WOW.

Anyway, I will post pictures of Granada! I just got into a new pack of batteries for my camera, so now I can take copious amounts of photos again.

Have a good weekend!
