It's raining, it's pouring...

It's shaping up to be another very rainy week here in Granada...how is it that I've heard from so many people that it never rains here?  Oh well...I have an umbrella and some great boots, so I'm good to go.  I'm just hoping it stops by Friday, because that's when my friend Amanda is flying in to visit!

I am going to meet her in Madrid, and we'll spend a few days exploring there, and then we are taking the bus back to Nerja.  I can't wait to go back to the beach.  Hopefully the sun will want to come out this time!  After a day at the beach, we will journey back into Granada...it will be a lot of fun to show her around my new "hometown".  

Other than looking forward to the weekend, things are pretty normal this week.  I have all my classes, and am planning on seeing a movie tomorrow night.  My friends and I decided we better go see the new Penelope Cruz movie, because she is big news here right now!  She is the first Spanish actress to win an Oscar, so everyone is very happy for her.  She is on the news constantly, and all over the billboards.   

I've been pretty happy with all the movies I've gone to here.  I understand a lot more than I usually expect to, and it's great entertainment AND listening practice!  Well, better get to lunch, it's almost 2!  

¡Hasta luego, Amigos!
