The First 3 Days

So, The very first day that we arrived in Spain after our 12 hour flight, we still had a 4 hour drive ahead of us to Granada. One of the girls in our group, Taylor, had lost her luggage. U.S. Airways sent it to Lisbon, Portugal. It still has yet to show up...hopefully today it does. So, still day one we walked to our host families apartments and met them. Lucia and I live with this really nice lady named Ana. She is so eager to learn English and for me to learn Spanish. She will only let me speak to her in Spanish... It's so difficult. Well, Lucia and I got settled in and fell asleep around midnight here which is 3PM there in AZ. Yesterday morning we took a small tour around Granada to find out school and to find city hall and little places to eat. Lucia and I joined up with John, Miguel, and Eddy and walked to go have lunch and site see a bit more which was lots of fun. The guys had to go home to go eat so Lucia and I did a little bit of shopping which was so much fun, mostly because I love to shop and she does too! We met up  with the rest of the group at 8 PM in front of the Cathedral here in Granada and walked to this Irish Pub and had dinner together. (there are a lot of /Irish Pubs here in Granada). A group of us decided to go out after that which was alright. It just stinks because none of the clubs open till at least 2-2:30 AM and that is waaay too early. Oh, and people here wake up so late. If you are awake at 9 or even 10 it still sounds dead outside. Its crazy. Oh, and the architecture here is quite pretty. Lucia and I went with another person from our group this morning to Hagan-Daz then up towards Alhambra. We didn't actually go all the way up since Edgar had to return to his host families house for lunch. Lucia and I just walked around the little shops. We were supposed to meet the guys around 3 but they didn't show, again. They did this yesterday too to us. Darn boys... all well.

Lucia and I are now back at our host families house and are going to take a nap I guess since we have class tomorrow and are sooooooooooooo worn out by all this! At least me Sanish will hopefully get better.
