Hola from Spain

After nearly 24 hours of traveling, we finally made it to Granada yesterday late afternoon. All of our flights went well, but we were very tired. We were very happy to have been upgraded on our flight from SFO to London (we were on the wait list) and that really made a big difference! The flight was very smooth - it took 9 1\2 hours. we had 5 movies to choose from (i watched ¨Mean Girls¨ and ¨Harry Potter¨!). The best part of flying business class is that they refill you glass of water at all times.

we found a shuttle to take us from Heathrow to Gatwick, and that left us with 4 hours to wait at Gatwick. Our flight from London to Malaga went well - I´d recommend EasyJet to anyone traveling within Europe!

Dick´s Dad and Adrianne met us at the airport, and we took a taxi to the bus station. The bus ride from Malaga to Granada is supposed to be very nice and picturesque, but I´m afraid I slept the entire time.

We took a cab from the Granada bus station to Richard´s apartment, where we washed up a bit, and changed clothes. We took a bus to the center of town and had a lovely dinner. (I am picking up Kathy´s habit of ordering Gazpacho with every meal!)

We went to bed around midnight, and Dick and I didn´t wake up until 11:30 this morning. we showered, then took the bus to Adrianne & Richard´s school. A had class from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Richard has class from 3:00 - 7:00.

had a nice lunch with A, and have been walking around all afternoon.

We´re at an internet cafe now (my first time - very cool).
will try to touch base again before we leave Granada for Marbella.

Adios!
