Today was my third day of class and I have to say, so far so good. Since there are only two of us its much more informal than if it were a proper class with homework and grades. We go over grammar which usually leads to a discussion about something which then leads to something else and before I know it we’ve gone from talking about food items to passport control and customs in the US and Spain. At any rate, I like the laid back nature of it all.

Today I opened my bank account at Caja Granada so before long I should have a nice Spanish bank account and debit card and Bank of American can stop charging me for withdrawls.

Last night I was asked by the Germans “If you are wanting to come with us to have a drink or eat some food if you want.” So I decided to go out with them and meet their ‘colleagues’. The other students were, naturally, German so I got to hang out with a bunch of Germans in a bar in Spain. It reminded me of when I was in Grenoble and I was hanging out with a bunch of Latin Americans in France…I suppose if I go to Germany I will find a bunch of Russians to hang out with or something.

The weather here has been pretty darn good, I can’t complain. It’s a bit cloudy today, but I’ll take cloudy over scorching heat any time!

Im really getting used to this siesta thing. If you stay up late you really do need a nap come 2 or 3pm. I can see this being a habit that is difficult to break…
