Super Secret Spain Post

HOLA!

Me es having mucho funo in Espana! I've picked up really quick on the language as you can see. In fact today, after asking for another muffin (in Spanish!) the man replied lots of Spanish words at me and in shear panic I tried to tell him I couldn't speak Spanish but instead said "Don't speak Spanish to me!" whoops.

We just arrived in Granada tonight and I am very, very, glad to have ONE place to stay for the next seven days. Don't get me wrong, traveling to different cities is cool, and in Segovia and Toledo we saw really awesome things like midevil castles and crazy cathedrals, but hotel jumping and luggage loading/unloading gets old quick. So does hours of plane/car travel.

I'm really excited to be here too because Granada looks like it should be a LOT of fun. It's a lot more city than I had imagined. Like I was expecting huts or something? Because it's Spain and Foreign Land and I am a dumb American or something? And was afraid I wouldn't be able to buy toothpaste? But no, I was wrong. Fortunately.

Anyways, I'm writing this blog secretively because everyone else in the house is asleep. And I don't know about everyone else but I am a little creeped out. I get to be the lucky one that sleeps on the couch alone and Jaffy mentioned how it smelled really strongly of perfume in her room, and HEARD SINGING (we'll ignore the fact that her room is right above a street for the moment, for the creepy effect) and when she told Coral about it, Coral was totally all "whhat??" like she didn't know where the weird smells and sounds were coming from! And, and!! It's really cold in here with lots of weird noises and it's dark and cold, I know I said that already, but, it's really really....really cold. Eeeerie....

I should be on the couch now waiting for my Tylenol PMs to kick in, but I decided to post because I was tagged by Bex and Whit for a Swine Flu picture blogchain thing. And I'm supposed to take a picture of myself without primping (not cool guys) and load it up and post. When I first read the tags we had just gotten to our second hotel and I was super excited because I had discovered a little patio outside our window and so I had Coral take a picture of me acting, well, super excited. Doesn't quite count because I didn't take it myself, but, I think it will work.

..............Or it won't work. I'm a little Mac computer retarded and can't resize and edit pictures and my sister has a really slow connection, so guess what folks? No dice. Maybe tomorrow when I can have Tony learn me how to use a fancy Mac I'll try again.

I guess this blog was just to say hello then, and to distract me from all the spooooky noises going on right now. What do Spanish ghosts say? What's Spanish for "boo"??
