I'm in Spain!

Today is my third day in Spain. Everything is going well. I am able to communicate well with my host family and other native Spaniards. Granada is a very beautiful city with great architecture and history. The city is very compact, so it is thick with buildings. Luckily I have a great view on the balcony at my host family's apartment.  It is on the 6th floor and it overlooks half of the city. It is a fantastic view because you can see the Sierra Nevada Mountains, La Alhambra palace, and the rooftops of all the buildings. 

This evening, we went on a tour of Granada as a group with all the students in the Central College Program. I learned a lot about the history of the city. It was very interesting and I saw a lot of the city. 

The Spanish are known for keeping very late (more like early) hours. It is 10pm here, and people are just starting to go out. There are still many shops open as well as many places to get tapas. I am going out now with other students from my college. I will probably not return home until 4am, but that's the way the Spanish do it. They don't sleep much. Everyone goes out to eat and drink light meals at this time of night. 

Hasta luego.
