Blogging Failure???

First off, my sincere apologies for my inconsistent posts (hince the title).  Anyway, moving on...This weekend we went to Granda, and it has officially replaced Madrid as my favorite city in Spain.  It has all the beauty and relaxedness of the countryside with all the resources and vitality of a city.  It's my second time going there, and it was even better than I remembered it (which is impressive).  We saw La Alhombra, of course (google it-it is absolutely amazing.)  I'll also tell you a bit about it.  It was this Palace that Ferdinand and Isabel took over when they conquered the moors, and it is amazing.  My favorite quote by here is something to the tune of "I didn't conquer the Alhombra.  The Alhombra conquered me."  She was so awe-struck by it that she made every effort to preserve it and changed very little.  On our own, we also went to eat at this quaint Morroccan place that was amazing, then a few of us went to see the Cathedral because I wanted them to get to see the resting place of Isabel, Ferdinand, Juana la Loca, and Felipe el Hermoso.  Unfortunately, I remembered incorrectly and we went in the wrong Cathedral at first, but we eventually get it figured out.  Later that night we went and saw a Flamenco show, which was awesome.  ON the way there we shared a bus with this group of elderly travelers.  This gentleman (70s) came and flirted with the girls and sat with us and talked about going to a botellón with us.  It was great-we were so hyped up to go out after the show that we were dancing in the back of the bus, asking the driver to turn up the music.  Later last night we went to a discotech and danced for quite a while.  It was great, and well deserved after a week of tests.  Unfortunately, I did not have time to do any homework, so that's it for my post for the night.  Buena Noche!

P.S.  I promise a ton of pictures will get to facebook eventually.  I just want to wait until I get back home and have time to do some minor editing.  (And I do mean minor-I have taken 1800 pictures and we are only 2/3 through the trip.)
