You're a tricky one, Antonio

Well it's been an insane week to say the least. We have been trying like crazy to book our Germany trip and have started to look at traveling to Florence from Rome this Saturday. We had every credit card problem you can imagine (including double and triple charges!) and the flights we wanted kept changing. We finally got our stuff together and Germany is all set. We may try to take a day trip by train out of Munich but we need to get through Italy this weekend first. We have to be at the bus station to leave for the aiport at 5:30 on Thursday. When I first read that, a little part of me died... but I guess it will be worth it in the end. We get to Rome at 10:30 and will be there until laaaate Sunday night. We get back to Granada at 1:30 a.m. Monday. We are going to try to squeeze in Florence on Saturday since it's only 60 euro round trip by train and that will give us 10 hours there. It's going to be a super long weekend but I'm pumped for it.
We've already started looking at Ireland for spring break and it looks like we are going to try to hit Galway for Friday and Saturday and then take a train to Dublin for Sunday and Monday (St. Patty's). After that everyone want to come back for the Santa Semana festivities in Granada but I want to keep traveling. I'll have to see if anyone else is interested or if maybe I could go visit Brie for part of the week.
Classes started and so far, so good. I've had three of the five and so far the professors are great (none of them trying to ruin my life like last time). I really like the school and it's location (even though I have to walk 2 miles UPHILL TWICE A DAY to get there). Who needs the gym when you live in the mountains?
We went exploring the other day and it was such a bad life choice. We got lost in the Albaycin a.k.a. the mountain town part of Granada. We walked around for two hours up and down hills and by the end of it I wanted to die. Like I said, who needs a gym.
I got an email this morning from my cell phone provider over here saying that they turned my phone off becuase it was reported stolen... I definitely have my phone in my possession and I also have a nice $169 dollar charge to my credit card to replace my lost equipment... I'm waiting to hear back from them via email and hopefully they will turn my phone back on asap. What a pain, nonetheless.
Well it's almost time to go eat lunch and maybe today Antonio won't trick me into eating bread with hidden tuna in it.... These cooks are stealth.
