Y ahora estamos en GRANADA!
Tomorrow we are to going the Alhambra!
Tomorrow we are to going the Alhambra!
These are your typical viejitos "older people". I just love them. They walk through the streets and sit on benches. This guy on the right is named Frank. He balls up old bread and feeds it to the birds. It is so fun to watch.
When we got to Granada today, after a really long (5 hour drive) it was so hot 34degrees C and very humid, so with 6 min before the pool closed at 8 I jumped in and how cool is it that the city of Granada is right behind us? We are lucky lucky! Then we went out and went around the town! I had spaghetti! Yum and for dessert Natilla.
Who knew that Spain is actually the number one producers of olive oil? I had no idea. I've never seen so many olive trees in my life. It was beautiful. We also saw a huge field of sun flowers they use to make sun flower oil. On my mission in Uruguay they used sunflower oil a lot and had tons of sun flowers growing in the campo.
Us with our wonderful sandwiches and Professor Meredith with his sandwich and Red Bull to keep him awake while driving!

We went to where Don Quixote de La Mancha takes place and took a ton of pictures. In the surrounding pictures are Carolina (We also passed by her town, or at least one with her name that was celebrating her 16th bday! jk) and Professor Meredith. After La Mancha we went to a supermercado and the prices were amazingly cheap! This isn't like South America where everything is usually a lot cheaper. So far everything has been really expensive and really hard for me to bring myself to pay the Euro price for things, but I have! Too many souvenirs already! then we ate in the parking lot at a grocery store and laughed a lot! I think I was drunk with hunger and because of the heat and the prices etc...it was so fun!
This is Suzy and I with our abanicos tradicionales in front of another tradition, el molino! Somos muy espanolas!
Today we left Madrid and did an all day road trip to Granada. On the way we stopped at Consuegra where Don Quixote is based. It was so beautiful. A wonderful little town with cobblestone streets.
The people hang curtains in their front door so the air enters but not the bugs. There are so many really pretty ones. It was really hard to take pictures because we were driving. This is one that turned out.
This is a popular Bull (Torro) almost a billboard that is all over! I love it! Cows make me happy and so do the Torro bill boards everywhere!
When we were leaving Spain I saw this sign on a store and had to laugh, because it was just too English!
