Well we finally made it to Granada last night. It´s not quite what I expected but it´s beautiful none the less. We thought we would be going to a tiny little town in the mountains and it almost feels as big as Madrid! I´ve been lost more in the past 15 hours than I have all week.... they don´t really have straight streets that lead you to where you want to go, but instead they are all curvy and take you to different curvy streets. Hopefully I´ll know where I´m going by the end next week!
We moved into our apartment last night and found out that we share it with three Spanish guys who also go to the University of Granada. At first we were a little creeped out by the idea of living with three guys but after we met Jose last night, we realized it was going to be fine. He´s super friendly and very patient with our Spanish... he doesn´t speak English so I guess he kind of has to be! We met him at 11 and stayed up talking with him until 2 in the morning! He also offered to go snowboarding with me and let me borrow his extra board! We haven´t met the other two guys yet but he said they are nice too. Cross your fingers!
We eat at the Residencia down the street from us and its full of Spanish students (great way to practice talking!) and they actually serve you like in a resturaunt. When my landlord was explaining that I don´t eat seafood or fish, the cook gave me a funny look and then asked if my roommate ate seafood and my landlord responded ¨No, she´s normal.¨
We also found out that we get internet at the apartment next week... sooo excited. The food is good, the apartment is nice, my bed is super comfortable and I´m already having a great time. I´m meeting up with three of my friends tonight to go out and see what we can find to do. Everything is within walking distance so it should be a good time.
Time to go drink some Fanta Limon. Hasta luego.
