Estadounidenses tontas...

     This Friday we had a free day, so some friends and I decided to go wander around. We found ourselves at Café Futbol (suggested to us for their chocolate[melted chocolate not hot chocolate] y churros). Anyway, we figured no better time to try it than the present so we sat down and 3 of us ordered a churro each (and some waffle with con chocolate). The waiter comes out and brings us this tower of churros... little did we know that ONE churro is meant for 2 people! We did the best we could, but after sugar-coma started kicking in we threw in the towel and brought the rest back for a roomate... (lesson learned: ask about portion size!) Needless to say I slept great that night with a belly full of chocolate y churros :)

     The next day we went on a hike to Cahorros. This place was amazing! There are waterfalls and creeks that come from snow runoff (super cold!), and it was so green! Germán loves to point out different plant for us to smell/ try (lavender, sage, mint, figs, among many others) Though I thoroughly enjoyed it, this hike was definitely challenging... and I'm not talking about the uphill mile or so it took us to get to the hike. Thoroughout the hike we are walking on a skinny path along the mountain (which at times we have to scale or crawl under). However the hardest part of it for me was crossing the puente colgante (suspension bridge). Anyone who knows me, know heights are NOT my favorite, but I did IT! and have pictures to prove it :) Anyway I would love to go back to this place because its truly one of the most amazing hikes Ive ever been on.

     We came home that day and I took a 3.5 hr nap (I was pooped). That night we went to a show put on by the city of Granada (que se llama Les Amants du Ciel). It was this couple that danced up in the sky on the side of the Ayuntamiento. It was pretty cool, but we left early to go get some tapas for dinner. Jilli and I ordered a sample plate to share with some sangria, all of which was delicious!

     Sunday I woke up late and met a friend for lunch. We wondered around Granada, and he showed me a view point near where he lives (pretty spectacular, but quite a climb fro the center of the city where I live). We got some Alhambras (la cerveza de Granada), and went shopping around (most all stores are closed on Sunday except those that are like department stores).

     Now its Monday morning, and I accidentally slept through my first class of the day (atleast Im allowed 2 ausiencios). Tonight we get to learn to dance Flamenco. We'll see if I have any coordination, but it should be fun! I'll have to tell you later how that goes...

¡Hasta Luego!
