Hannah’s birthday was earlier this week, so tonight we
headed to the movies to celebrate! There
were some definite draws for the evening.
1 – Hanging out with friends. 2 –
Getting to experience the movies in another country. 3 – Seeing the fourth part of a great action
movie series. 4 – Watching the movie in
English!!!
This theater is possibly the only theater in Granada that
plays the original movies for a short period of time, instead of dubbed. The whole theater itself was massive and located
inside of a big mall a ways out from where we live. The atmosphere was really unique and made me
laugh quite a bit. As you hand the
ticket collector your ticket, you enter into a giant, darkened hallway (with
all of the movie entrances). Between
some of the theaters are strangely shaped lounge items and even some special
coves decked out with sleek black sofas and giant screens playing movie
trailers. I think I would go there just
to hang out, if it was closer and they would let me. Ha, ha.

The seats were huge, with individual arm rests (a big
excitement!), and the five of us were the only ones in the theater – apparently
the only Americans wanting to watch from afar at the time! The Spanish subtitles I happened to glance at
during the show reminded me there are not always exact translations. It’s more of a generalization at times.
We finished the evening with some fried squid, meatballs,
and pork slider tapas. I enjoyed getting
to know the team a little better, share in an experience reminiscent of home,
and have the opportunity to carry a sweater.
It was hopeful, I know, but I did wear it for part of the movie – even if
partly just so I could say I did. J
