One last trip to the Beach


Yes the weather has cooled down in Spain, but I could not resist one last trip to the beach until spring. A friend and I went to Marbella which is about two and a half ours from Granada for the day and night. Let's just say we were the only ones on the beach as you can see above. The first day was sunny and really windy, but we were determined and laid out in our bathing suits anyway, which in the end resulted in me wrapping myself in my towel and sleeping. It was not really cold, but more uncomfortable to be more or less naked outside. The weather at night was really nice, like no coat necessary nice and I wore flip flops which I have not done in Granada for over a month. The second day on the beach was warmer.

I think I had some of the best paella yet in Marbella. It was cheap and amazing, I was a little drunk before I ate it, but it did not affect my taste buds. Although it did affect the fact that I ate much more than necessary. As you can see below I am really disgusted with the amount of food I just late. I later regretted this when some Spanish men invited us out with them and paid for our drinks, well I only had one because I was so full that if I made a wrong move I would puke because I had no room in my body for anything more.



I also went to the Arab Baths last weekend too, which were amazing. In the simplest terms you sit in a bath and relax. This particular bath had 6 hot baths and 1 cold bath and they suggest you go back and forth between the hot and cold. I also got a message and the served the most amazing tea called murano. A very relaxing experience and I will recommend it to anyone that visits.

Two weeks ago had sushi for the first time in over two months. I actually realized that for the past two months the only food I have really eaten has been Spanish food and I forgot about how much I love soy sauce. There are two sushi tapas bars that I have tried. Now the sushi is nothing to get excited about, think about the sushi at the IMU if you went to Iowa, and it is a few steps above that. The bottom line is that although it was not great it filled the void of something Asian in my life, hahahaha.

I don't really have much planned for this weekend, I might go to a football game in Granada. Their football team is on a lower level than the ever popular Real Madrid but it will probably still be fun.
