Orientation Days

So these last few days have been excellent! Last night the entire UNH group met up for churros y chocolate, which of course was delicious! I liked the churros a lot more than I did last time I had them.  Afterwards, we headed over to el centro de lenguas modernas (I think that's its name) where we'll be taking our classes.  We had a bit of an orientation to the program, mostly about the culture shock.  Afterwards, we walked for a bit, so that they could show us where we'd be meeting today and then we took a hike to see La Alhambra at night.  It was gorgeous and we could also see the entire city (you'll see in the pictures).  After that we all tried to head home for dinner.  However, we got a bit lost, and ended up walking a bit longer than we thought it would take (there are four of us that live on my side of the city-it's about a 45-50 minute walk from el centro-generally, we'll take the bus).  Luckily, we all found our way home, it just took quite a lot longer than we expected.  

Today we all met up and went up to the Alhambra, but we didn't see much of it, because we can't get into the parts we have to pay for until Monday, when we can get the student discounts.  However, it's very interesting, but quite a hike uphill.  I'm not looking forward to walking up there another time, but oh well, it's worth it.  We didn't spend much time up there today since you have to pay for most stuff, so we had the majority of the afternoon free to do whatever.  A couple of the girls went shopping.  I haven't bought anything yet but I definitely will. Rebajas are the greatest thing invented! Everything is about 50% off it's normal price until the end of March! Now we're just hanging out until later tonight.  Everything closes on Sunday so I think tomorrow we're just going to be wandering around trying to get to know the city a bit better.
