I must tell you, we live in a beautiful world. Flying at night with all the cities lit up is absolutely amazing. Then the oceans and the mountains of Spain are breathtaking.
I'll skip the details of the flights because quite frankly there were not glamorous.
I'm now in Granada staying at a hotel for the night until I met my host family and move in with them tomorrow. It's currently 6:15pm here and I'm just waiting around until I go eat an earlyish dinner at 8pm. Dinner here is usually about 9, but I haven't ate since the croissant and yogurt given to the passengers on the Madrid flight so a few of us are going across the street for some pizza and pasta.
Earlier I went with about a group of 10 to explore this new city. It is basically like Italy mixed with New York City on a smaller scale. The sidewalks are thin, the cars are fast, the shops are in abundance, and the people are everywhere. It doesn't have a city feel like NYC though. There are alleys and historic looking buildings and there is a lot of character. To my pleasant surprise I found a Burger King and a Chinese restaurant so I'm set! But no, I plan to try new things and steer away from the things that are always available at home.
I will post pictures when I get some good ones. Right now, there are a bunch of touristy pictures and I feel so American. I will also post them on Facebook when I get a chance, too.
I hopefully will start posting regularly once I get in school so that I'm more reliable and systematic about my posts.
