Sorry this post is a bit late, but its going to include all of last week through today :)
Last week I found my new game plan for Tuesday nights. There´s a bar that teaches salsa and merangue on Tuesdays and I am determined to become a regular and get my moves down, get ready UConn! Last week I also finally went to Hookah in Spain. The place we went to gave us free hookah if we ordered drinks (not mad)
Sadly, I caught strep over the weekend so I spent a lot of time with my bed and movies on project free tv. My senora, Carmen, has been gone for about two weeks because her brother passed. But Pepe´s family (the adorable 4 year old that she babysits for) moved in with me. They were so unbelieveably helpful when I was sick and in general. His mom even made me a map of all the best tapas bars in Granada. I was on antibiotics Friday - Sunday but was still able to go on the group´s day trip to a pueblo in Malaga, Ronda, on Sunday.
Ronda was absolutely GORGEOUS! If you haven´t, please check out my Ronda album on Facebook because I can´t describe the sights. In addition to walking around to all the sights, we toured a toro plaza and cooridinating museum. We will be going to a a real corrida de toros in Madrid on April 7th.
That brings me to the highlight of last week... I signed up for the Madrid Half Marathon!!! I´m going to be in the city with our group anyway, so I´m skipping some museums, running 13.1 miles, and then meeting the group at lunch and then la corrida (bull fight). Another kid in the group is running with me and we´re currently peer pressuring two others to join as well.
Another highlight was that Sunday night my time (Sunday morning your time) I got to Skype my whole family, Sara, and Steve! They had invited Sara and Steve over to my house for waffles and some brownies since it was Steve´s birthday last Friday. They were having a blast, I just wish I could´ve been there :p Stave and Sara also Skyped me into the UConn women´s senior night earlier in the week :)
After a walk in Sacromonte with the group, I got bunelos (the donuts i´m obsessed with that are described in a previous post) and came home to wait for Carmen as she finally came home last night! :) With her was a suitcase of breads and meats from Leon (northern Spain). That´s her hometown, and where´her brother´s funeral was. It´s so nice to have her back.
Steve and I are still working out the details for when he´s here, but the good news is that it looks like we will defenitly be able to go to a Real Madrid game the weekend he flies in!
No school tomorrow as there´s a festival here in Granada, and then Friday I leave for Morocco! Get ready for that blog and gracias for reading, besos!
