I hate Wednesdays

I have been remiss in updating in a long time. I need to load my pictures from Granada onto my computer, for now just a brief overview will have to suffice. After a harrowing bus ride, we finally arrived. Granada is a mix of Arab and Spanish influences with lots of teterĂ­as (tea houses) and apparently a great night life scene - it has a relatively small population but a ton of students. Friday we saw the CatedrĂ¡l (got to love the Cathedrals) and the Capilla Real, which is where Ferdnand and Isabel, the Catholic monarchs that united Aragon and Castile, are buried. Super cool. We also went to the Mirador de San Nicolas, with spectacular views of Granada.

Saturday was the Alhambra. Lots of fountains and panoramic views. We headed back to Sevilla Saturday night. I always find that coming back here to Sevilla is always the best part of the trip. I´m halfway through with the semester, and this makes me really sad, because I can´t imagine returning back to the States after living here for four months. And I´m starting to think in Spanish and understand more of the lanuage. This will be quite a downer.

I still don´t have anything lined up for this summer. My contacts have been slow to get back to me. It´s almost April. I need to find housing for wherever I´m going to be. I know for certain that my plans do not include going back to Buffalo, unless you are going to be around the last week in May I won´t be seeing you this summer (so for those three friends, sorry).

I hate Wednesdays.
