Hace buen tiempo...finalmente!!

It seems the rainy spell has finally broken because we've had some really nice weather! I won't get my hopes up though since I can never tell here, the weather plays tricks on us. And I've decided now that I should plan for the opposite of what it's supposed to be like. Last week flew by, I don't even remember anything that I did. I guess just classes and a little bit of homework. On friday Caitlin and I went to a park and played on the playground equipment, they had this zip-line thing and trampolines built into the ground. It always feels so good to sit on swings and just relax, and the weather was gorgeous!! Since we had slept really late that's pretty much all we did, then back at the residencia we discovered that we now have some sort of cable. There were a bunch of scary movies on, I have become such a wimp. I couldn't even watch them without covering my eyes or changing the channel before something scary happens. Finally Los padres de ella(Meet the Parents) came on and that was a bit easier to take.

Saturday morning we slept late again. I love the weekends when I don't have to get up at 7:30. After a quick breakfast we went to the same park to sit in the sun again, I read a book and Caitlin did a little studying. It was so nice and warm, I even got a little sun burn so I don't blend in with the white walls anymore : ) In the late afternoon we went back to San Nicolas to watch the sunset...but the sunset on the other side so it was more like watching it get dark. Pretty but cold. It gets cold almost immediately when the sun starts to go down and I was not dressed properly. I still love that area, I recognized some of the same hippies who had been there when we went over a month ago. I swear they never even left. I guess since it's almost spring, or is at least starting to feel like it, everyone goes out to get a puppy. Every day I see one that is cuter than the last one. It makes me miss my pups so much! Saturday night we were waiting in Plaza Trinidad to meet up with some people and saw the strangest thing. A man had ridden his donkey into the city to go to a bar. He tied it to a lamp post while he met up with some friends. I really didn't know people still did that! My favorite part was that he was talking on his cell phone the whole time while people gawked at his mode of transportation. So funny.

Sunday morning we woke up early to take bus to Málaga. We wanted to go to a beach and get some more sun and since the weather had 0% chance of rain we figured why not. The whole time we were walking from the bus station to La Malagueta it was bright and sunny, we got there, got comfortable in the sun and about 10 minutes later dark clouds roll in and it starts raining. Great. I was having flashback to Cádiz. We ran across the street to Burger King and sat inside eating our bocadillos, hoping it would stop. It did so we went back out, repeated everything and about 30 mins later those dark clouds came again. Really!? So we packed up and headed back to Burger King. This one took longer to pass unfortunately and by the time we could go back out we only had like 45 mins till we had to walk back to the bus station. It was a little colder so we sat on a bench and read. I still had a good time though and I'm glad we went. Granada can get a little repetitive if you don't get out of the city on the weekends.

Now it's Monday and it's another nice day! Today is off to a fantastic start because I found somewhere that would serve me iced coffee!!!! I think I scared the poor woman when she said they had it because I nearly jumped over the counter and hugged her. I dunno why I love that stuff so much. I'm looking forward to tomorrow because Mom, Grammy, Pete and Jordan will be here!! Woo I can't wait and then Jacquelin comes on Saturday!!!

Mucho amor desde Granada,
