Visitors!

And then last week finally came what I'd been counting down to since I arrived in Granada: Visitors! And I had ALOT!! My parents, my boyfriend, and four of his friends! Fiesta!

It was really great to have people from home, to see my parents, and finally get to hang out with Nick again! I thought it might be weird to see him again, but everything was just as we left it.

It was a great week! I wish they could have stayed for three more! Seeing everyone did kind of make me want to come home, but seeing Granada from their eyes in a way made me more excited about this city and realize how great it really is.

Sunday Nick and I took an EARLY (1 am) bus to Madrid (five hours!) to go to the Real Madrid soccer (fútbol) game. It was cool to see Madrid since the only time I´d ever seen it was from the airport windows back in January, but it probably would have been alot cooler if we´d slept at least a few hours! We did get to eat at Burger King though! The game was really fun, even for me, someone who doesn´t especially appreciate sports... The stadium was just HUGE and I was scared from our seats, which were three rows from the top. We finally got back to Granada after a long day in Madrid to find Nicks friends still awake after taking Stan out for a few (many) drinks!

Highlights of the week include visiting the Alhambra once again and visiting Nerja, a little town on Costa del Sol so everyone could experience the Mediterranean Sea, and of course many tapas. Everyone also got to meet up with my Spanish family where we drank muchas cervezas. Considering hardly anyone could understand each other, we had a pretty good time!

The week went by toooo fast! Speaking of fast... I have just over 1 month left in Spain! Crazy! And this weekend we are going to Portugal for half of our second break, and then back to Granada for the last half to experience SEMANA SANTA.
