The Sierra Nevada

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!
