Kickin' It In Granada
We spend most of the time just relaxing in Granada. During the day the weather is too hot to do too much so we are either inside the hostel hanging out in the upstairs terrace area or drinking and eating tapas in the tapas bars found throughout Granada. One awesome thing about the funky backpacker's hostel is that they serve home cooked meals every evening. This evening they are serving paella, which is a traditional Spanish dish which usually involves rice, garlic, saffron and some kind of meat (chicken, beef and seafood). Today seafood paella is on the menu and I decide to stay for that. We hung out with the Aussie girls again despite the fact that they recommended the regretful thermal pool experience.
The last night in Granada Tino, Rick, Dwayne and Kim were all able to get 5 person apartment together. During one of the runs back to the apartment we had trouble opening our door with the key and even the manager could not open it. At that point a group of Aussies that were staying in our building wanted to help. So Tino climbed on top of one of their shoulders and climbed up through our second story balcony. That night we all went out with the Aussies to celebrate. The Irish pub we went to had a promotion where if you buy a Jameson shot you get a scratch card to win prizes. Somehow we were all able to win shirts off the same ticket and no one actually had to buy any shots.
