Granada Day One, Round Two.

Today was a day to be remember. I had my first adult, real world experience in a foreign country! After I landed, I took a B line strait for the Currency Exchange booth.

Note to all: The EXACT EXCHANGE booth really does give you an exact exchange. Best one I've seen thus far. For $30, I got 20E.

After that I asked the lovely exchange woman how to get to the Autobus station... which I was convinced was right down the street... I was so wrong.

I got to the Metro station after walking to East Jesus nowhere, and asked the woman how to get there... apparently my Spanish accent is rusty because she explained it all in English. Whatever, I got what I needed, and she was super nice. The two trains I had to get were surrounded by stairs and escalators that weren't in working order so I was lugging two quite heavy suitcases around by myself, sweating bullets. Two women stopped to ask me if I needed help. I respectfully declined, because really, it's better safe than sorry.

After I got turned around once or twice in the right terminal, I finally made it to the Autobus station. The woman at the desk there was extremely helpful and helped me find the least expensive ticket to get to Granada.

The five and a half hour bus ride started at 9:30am, Two hours after I landed. Yes, I had my real world experience in two hours, Be proud.

After the bus ride and a long four hour nap, I got to the station in Granada, and EVERYTHING looked familiar! I hopped in a cab, told the man where I was going and he took me there for 8E. Yeah Buddy.

I am now unpacked, with a wardrobe soaked in body spray that I should have packed better, and am about to take a shower and down six bottles of water.

My room mates K and A are super nice. They laugh at my jokes, which is great, and they seem to be fairly up to par with the Spanish levels that I've been exposed to. I'm really excited for this semester, and can not wait for my internship to start... I just need to get more information about it.

K and A are trying to store over-fluffed comforters under the TV... I better go help.

Hasta Luego :)
