I'm going to make this post brief since its already 12:30 here and I have to be up in four hours to catch the bus to Lagos, Portugal where I'll be spending the weekend with some friends. Today was pretty straight forward, and included a six mile run, classes, and multiple snacks to make up for lost calories. I also had my first guitar class tonight, which was fun, but really easy. I'm looking forward to when we start doing chords, or just anything more than learning the parts of the instrument and how to strum, although I understand why we're starting with the basics- my class is ten people!
After guitar, Yanet had a BBQ at her house, which is just around the corner from Calle Postrera. Her host mom heard there were some vegetarians coming, so she grilled mass-quantities of zucchini for us veggies, which tasted incredible. The patio of the house was also beautiful, though this picture hardly does it any justice. It winds around the side of the house and all the pots overflow with flowers when they're in-season. Yanet's host mom is a master gardener and annually wins prizes for her authentic Andalucian patio. I wish there was someone in this picture to give some perspective to the patio.
I'd guess that if I were standing next to the ladder, I'd be approximately at the 5th step from the bottom of the image, and the flower pots and the wall go at least 25 feet up. It was so nice of her to host us, and such an incredible spot, too. And now I'm home, frantically packing for tomorrow's early departure. I guess I better sleep now. Only four hours until my alarms goes off.
