We left a little on the late side today (10-ish) and caught the highway bound for Granada. Granada is quite a big city and it took us a while to get our bearings and find the way to our apartment complex. Once we finally made it there, we didn’t find a place to park that was close by, so Dad ended up parking way down the street and over. Mom was working out details for the room while I was the go-between (not so fun!). Two little girls, daughters of the owner I guess, were our guides and maybe they were being spiteful but they must have led us on the longest and dustiest path to the apartment. All I know is that when I found my way back to the car to pick up as many bags as I could carry and then headed back, I got back much faster. We quickly dropped things off before getting back into the car and going to the Hertz center to drop it off. Finding that place took some time too and the traffic was terrible. Not horribly congested just busy and loud; not nearly as pleasant as the traffic in Sevilla. Dad didn’t realize how big Granada was but I knew more or less what to expect. At long last we ditched our car with no problem and caught a cab back to the apartment.

Once there, I started arranging things while Mom and Dad left in search of groceries and internet, respectively. I was hot and tired and just wanted to rest for a bit. When they got back, we were rather hungry so we started making preparations for dinner. We decided that we really just wanted to relax and not go out that night. Dinner was pretty good and then we went straight to bed. Tomorrow we travel out to the Alhambra palace that really puts Granada on the map and is supposed to be spectacular. We’ll see! Cheers!
