More Details of my trip…Prob. A few repeats….

Sunday I met Katie at the ATL airport to catch our flight. It went well, especially because of my new found friend, Advil PM. I was swiftly knocked out, and I have a feeling Mr. Advil PM and I will be seeing more of eachother- especially in flight.

We arrived on time the next morning in Madrid and Liz, Katie´s sister, was there to pick us up. Just a short Metro ride and we were to our hostel. Liz then told us that our street was known as the place to pick up prostitutes. Interesting. However, the hostel itself wasn´t that bad.

After settling our things we took a walking tour around Madrid. It could´ve been the jet lag, but I wasn´t a fan of the city. We spent the rest of the day trying to stay awake (thanks to a stop at starbucks too). And we were tucked in bed, and tuckered out by 6:30 that night.

Tuesday we woke up and caught a bus to Granada. About 5 hours or so. Guess who ended up next to the loudest snoring man in all of history with HORRIBLE BO….yea, my luck continues J We arrived in Granada and I pretty much immediately loved it. We also met our friend Oliver- who had traveled from Madrid with us, but we didn´t notice him until we were on the local bus. We parted ways at the bus stop, but when we were walking out of a GELATO (yum) shop we passed him on the street. He tagged along with us while walking up the mountain previously mentioned, and saw the sights from a place we donned smoochfest 08. Then we had dinner and a very interesting conversation.

Today we saw the Alhambra, which was muy beautiful. Lots of pics were taken fo sho. The rest of the day we chilled abit then went off to find dinner (eh, spanish omelette on top of tomato on a piece of bread- I def snuck off to Burger King after that one haha)

So, there´s a complete update….

Tomorrow we have a bus trip back to Madrid, then on Friday we catch a plane to Athens. Woot.

Peace out
