Spent the weekend up in the montains. It was beautiful! Despite the lack of trees and things to do. I was going to go up to the top of the mountain, but the gondola ride was pricey and i didn´t give myself enough time to do the hike in the afternoon.
The town consists of a bunch of expensive massive four star hotels, only three of which are open in the summer. And a bunch of ski schools and rental places....all of which are closed. But it was still nice to get of Granada for the weekend and see Matt. Thanks to Carlos (Matt´s boss) I was able to stay the night in this awesome four star hotel, free of charge, becasue he´s friends with the owner. The kids were kids, loud and annoying. There was one little girl who took a liking to me and told Matt yesterday, "Tu novia es muy muy graupa." (english: your girlfriend is very very pretty.) Too cute!
Everything else is good. It´s well over 100 degrees everyday! Welcome to Spain! Gotta go to class talk soon!

Dear Kate, Just read your latest entry--the sierra nevada sounds like a beautiful place--too hot though. Does it cool down in the late evening so you can sit out til late?? Granny and I went to Shasta Lake as guests of Uncle Vince. The house they rented was very nice, large and thankfully well air-conditioned. Temperatures were 108 and 105 and heat lasted well into the night; were talking midnight or later.
The lake as disappointingly low so access to lake shore was veritably impossible. Tiny trail heads down to water were used by boaters and swimmers so there was no where to fish; however, I would not have been able to fish without planting my beach chair and small umbrella in the water in order to survive.
Granny and I left after one evening and stopped at the Peppermill in Reno for one night. We're home now. Temp is about 85, overcast and humid. It rained in SLT. Too bad the rain wasn't three weeks earlier with respect to the Angora fire. Kelly is busy, working at the restaurant and on the river--commuting when necessary and staying here to rest up. I think she is getting increasingly tired of sleeping in her SUV. We miss you, but know that this is the time in your life for the great adventures and the broadening of your cultural horizons. Hope you got better. The last time you wrote you were not feeling well. I look forward to your postings. Love, Papa
