For the past two days, it has been raining in Granada. This has only been the third time it has rained in the entire time of being here, which has been about two months. In fact, this morning I woke up to the sound of a downpour and thunder! It's quite strange for this region to experience this type of weather, but it is so dry that I'm sure the ground and plants need it.
Classes have been great and I am learning more about Spain than I ever could have in the United States. I very much enjoy the fact that these classes are centered around a very specific topic, but there is so much to learn just about that one thing. For example, I am taking a class called "Civilización y Cultura Española", and it seems that the topic is very narrow, but it is just the opposite! I have learned about the first people who had lived on the Iberian peninsula to the political structure of Spanish government to the differences between Generalísimo Franco era and today.
Today I am going to walk up to the Alhambra with my friend, Breanna, and we're going to take some more pictures and enjoy the atmosphere.
