I kinda feel like life is running full speed ahead, not
leaving much room to breathe. I have
hope that the breathing is in the near future though! Amidst the craziness, I have managed to take
two naps this week though. Yesterday I
woke up to children’s music through my wall; it’s amazing that I didn’t know we
had neighbors with kids apart from that incident!
Firstly, I have the most awesome family and friends
ever. My grandma made me a homemade scrapbook
of my first month in Granada, which has a special place on my dresser. Yesterday I received a package from my family and our good friends with many
blessings (including fuzzy socks, long underwear, a blanket, and hot Russian
tea). After one morning of waking up at
5:30 am because I was so cold (and yet it’s only October!!), I’m extremely thankful. I did attempt to find a bus stop while
carrying the package and my sore arms today tell me I should have called the
taxi to begin with. J
Yesterday I attended my first meeting of Tertulia, a group
of mostly college students (including my two roommates) who gather to practice
English. When I stepped onto the street
where the meeting was located, I immediately felt like I was back in Morocco. I had no idea there was a “taste of Morocco” in
Granada! I even got to enjoy some
typical Moroccan hot mint tea with my conversations. To finish the evening, the cheap but
delicious shawarma was perfect. 
Today I believe I walked for four hours total, or something
crazy like that. It reminded me of
walking miles around Toronto one morning during my senior mission trip, but
thankfully I was not in flip-flops this time.
Despite the intense amount of walking (on occasion), I still love that I
can walk basically anywhere. I’m definitely
going to miss that aspect of the city.
