so this weekend was one of those what just happened types of weekends. i had to meet at 7:30 am to gt on a bus and ride a few hours to Granada Spain.i slept the whole way. surprise surprise. so once the whole group gets to granada we go to la Alhambra, it was the final palace controlled by the muslims in Spain. Yes i know history lesson yay! but this place was amazing! the decoration, and the fact that paint and buildings hundreds of years old we could easily walk through! the gardens, views, everything just amazing! so that night we kind of walked around and did the whole live in the streets thing, then passed out in the hostel. Saturday was an adventure going to the Albicin, the original part of granada, and looking at the view and everything around us. and i there was lots of graffiti, but i'm not going to put it up... not going to lie some of it may get flagged. i got some really cool things though, a hookah, with carrying case for about $12, a pair of geenie/ arabic looking pants, and just other random things. the final stop was the royal chapel. where the "Catholic Kings" are buried. pictures weren't supposed to be taken but i have pictures on my cell phone... now to get them onto my computer....
Carnaval was a 5 or 6 hour thing that i went to in Cadiz. it is an interesting sight, and if anything like this happened in the USA, most people would die or there would be more fights... but here everyone was just happy to walk around singing songs and drinking in the streets. the only problems were the foreigners... so my outfit was a terrorist, i know politically incorrect but it's ok at Carnaval, you try to make fun of random things.... you should have seen the amount of Osama bin Ladins there were. So there were about 30 of us that went to carnaval in different outfits and all having a great time, until the young ones stopped being able to control their drinking, then it was bad. but the outfits were amazing and the different songs were even better!
needless to say after that weekend i returning to classes was an amazing idea, and much more relaxing
