Back in Granada

Well, We´re back in Granada. I don´t even know where to start. We haven´t had interned for a few days so I havent´been able to keep up very well.

We left Granada on Tuesday the 26 and went down to Algeciras, a little town right on the southern tip of Spain. We spent the day walking around and seeing the sights. This town stinks! Literally. Its pretty though, and right by the ocean.

On Wednesday we took a ferry town to AFRICA (Morocco) where we got a tour of the city of Tanger, rode a camel, ate lunch, and got mauled by vendors trying to sell us their products. The culture here is very different. They speak Arabic and are mostly Muslim. They make a lot of products like fabric, rubs, pottery, ect. It was all pretty, but man were we ready to leave. We waited at the station for the boat for 4 hours until the boat finally showed up and didn´t actually get back to the hotel until 10pm. The wind was blowing a lot so the boat rocked back and forth. It was a good thing we took some Dramamine or we would´ve been in trouble :) I´m proud to say that I have now been to 3 continents, and I have the stamps in my passport to prove it.

On Thursday we drove over to Gibraltar, another town in Southern Spain, which is actually owen by Great Brittain. They may have been my favorite part of the trip so far. We got to see some cool caves, a castle, play with monkeys, and eat pub grub. Most everyone here speaks English and Spanish. It was a huge change from yesterday in Morocco, that´s for sure. Tonight we headed out for Malaga, a costal town. We got a nice hotel with a pool and a view of the ocean.

On Friday we just spent the day at the beach and the pool. I swam with Sage all day while the adults of the group took a nap (I´m still a kid and proud of it). I think this had been Sage´s favorite day so far.

On Saturday we left early to go back to Granada, and that´s where we are. Janette and Cindy are off to Paris on Sunday and Mom and Sage head back to Utah Monday morning. I start school Monday morning as well.
