Granada

Just took a two day trip to Granada with Sergio (Z) and Michele. There’s a lot to tell. Some fun stories I’ll be passing on. But I’ll have to do it in installments for a couple reasons:

This would be an 8 page post probably. My next few days promise to be boring so it will give me something to pass on.

Also, I ran through about 4 rolls of film there. I hope to have them developed by Monday.

I’d run into Michele a couple times since I’ve been here. She’s a practicing Christian gal (different from a Christian gal. Michele lives it). Last week she mentioned she was going to Granada with some others and asked if I wanted to go. Of course I said yes.

First, some background on Granada. Everyone since I got here has been telling me to make sure I made it there. It has some of the best skiing in the world because it is at the base of the Sierra-Nevada mountain range. In fact, Michele told me that the Spanish were among the top skiers frequently at the Olympics and they train at the slopes in the Sierra-Nevada range.

We ended up leaving Moron at a little after noon on Tuesday and Granada is a 2 ½ hour drive. On the way, Z and I learned a lot more about Michele. That’s because once you get her going, she can talk and talk and talk and talk. At least it is interesting, though.

She’s a pilot for NW in the real world and had a bunch of funny stories about what different flight crews will do to each other for practical jokes.

So that filled up about 2 hours of that time. I fit in a couple of my own stories, too, when she stopped to breathe.

Once we got into Granada, we wanted to go see the Alhambra. It was supposed to be *the* place to see in Granada. It is an old fort/palace/castle originally built around the 12th century. Don’t worry, I have plenty of pictures of this place.

I’m going to cut this story right here because I’m really tired and I want to leave a bit of a teaser for tomorrow.

By Wednesday, we ended up skiing up in the Sierra-Nevada mountains and it was great. And I have a couple of really funny stories from there.

Tomorrow will be about the Alhambra and how Michele was example 67823 that women love men with accents, especially Australian accents.

Don’t miss it!
