Granada.. is.. the shit. Im really gonna miss it. One more month, peeps! The weather has been awesome, we're all chillin cuz schooooools outttt forrrr summer! I still have 2 finals to get through, so theres been a delicate balance of studying, tanning, hanging, and making the most of gtown before its time to go. The cool thing is that this place still has so much to offer.  During the past 2 weeks, I got lost up in this beautiful neighborhood above the center of town and found my new favorite look-out point. I started going to a free yoga class at some indian dude's house, I started running along the river and fields behind my house, I went on a hike behind the castle in Granada, I took a trip to the most popular beach in the south of spain, I went to a moroccan tapa place that was BOMB, I hung out with a bunch of spaniard friends, met a bunch of swiss peeps, and I've been spending time with some of the girls in my program that I rarely get to see.

Gtown definitely has its own charm, and so does the essence of a "study abroad year," but recently ive been thinking about how i can bring the epicness of this year back to cali. Life is what you make of it, right!? So anyways, here are some pics from June...

"Best beach in the south of Spain" apparently. Sorry for the crappy pic. The water was clear, not too cold, no waves! It.. was.. awesome. This creeeeeepy man followed us around all day. Heres his pic too...

This is my friend Becca. Becca loves health. For my birthday she gave me "health day": a free pass to her fancy gym/spa, a personal training sesh, and a nutritious meal. Very inspirational. Turns out working out is kinda cool. Been doin it ever since!

Running path behind my house

The river that runs thro it!

The place i got lost at, called "the albaicin." I chilled on these benches for a while and studied cuz the sun doesnt go down til like 10pm :)

This is haley--another girl in my program. She is a runnnnnner capital R. We hiked behind the Alhambra and i basically died, while trying to keep up casual conversation. GORGEOUS trail tho--overlooked all of granada and nearby pueblos. We're going on a sunrise hike next week!

(the run with haley)

same trail. helllaaaaaaa olive trees. 

This is my granada family. Ten or so cali kids, 5 spaniards. We got together to make mexican food :) or any other excuse we can find. Gonna miss these peeps aaaaaaaalot.

We also got together to make sushi. Gtown is seriously lacking in the mexican/sushi department.

I went to Murcia, another city in the south of Spain for a weekend to babysit 6 spanish kids under the age of 8. They called me "queso" all weekend--the spanish word for "cheese." haha such a joke trying to understand little baby voice spanish. But we made it! Exhausting weekend.

Just some more of granada :) 

Truth.
