Day 76
Day 76
Friday, October 27, 2006
Granada, Spain
The café right below our hotel serves eggs, and the come with a roll that is perfect for making a sunny side up egg sandwich. After breakfast we walked op to St Nichols park which overlooks the Alhambra. It was a beautiful day out with that perfect balance between brisk autumn air and the warm sun. We all sat in a row along the wall sketching the Alhambra and waiting for our turn with Lynn and Damian. There was an impromptu group of hippy musicians, lead by a guy who looked like he could be Billy Corgan in the park who just got better every time someone new joined in. I did my exit interview with Lynn and Damian and we talked about doing urban design versus architecture. After leaving some money to show our appreciation for the music we went back down the hill and had some soup at a little Moroccan restaurant/hukka bar. We had an assignment for that day to write out a store of one of our favorite memories from the trip. I finished writing my story about Kent’s giant gelato at the restaurant and then headed back o the hotel for a brief siesta.
We met for drinks at 7 o’clock and started to share our stories, a little while later we moved up the street to Café Botanica, where even the waiters wore mascara, and I had an amazing steak covered in a creamy honey mustard glaze. Lynn and Damian somehow talked there way into paying for dinner, and we all shared some good laughs over the stories, almost half of which were about Cheddar. We went back up the hill through town to a small family owned flamenco show, which was pretty good, but a little sad because it seemed like the daughters didn’t necessarily want to be there. We concluded the night at a little Irish pub in town where I talked to Damian for a while about work and things of that nature. We all said our goodbyes and reminisced about the trip for a bit longer before heading back to the hotel.
