the state of things

So, I´m about to leave beautiful Granada (that´s in Andalucia, southern Spain, for everyone not up on their Spanish geography). Spain is absolutely amazing and I´m remembering much more Spanish than I thought that I would. Except for a few key verbs…but I get by without them. So far I haven´t done too much in this country: spent the night in Barcelona (I am going back); went to the beach twice in Valencia; went to the Alhambra(holy shit, it´s amazing), went out for sangria and tapas and chatted with some Germans at my hostel (in addition to watching a few olympic games for the first time since Sydney).

My class starts soon, September 3rd. I´ve still got to hit a few more cities before then, though. Today I´m going to Cordoba, from there it´s Seville, Cadiz, Lagos and then Madrid. Should be good good good.

Oh, and it´s really effin’ hot here. I don´t think I´m wearing pants again for a loooooong time.
