But I have been sleeping in and loafing around the hostel and finally motivating myself to eat around 2 in the afternoon. The only 'sight' I've seen was purely by accident. I am a lazy bag of bones in this kind of weather. Which does NOT bode well for my efficiency when I return to work in San ...

... in America thoguh because unlike americans who try to all be unique and find very different costumes from eachother everyone in Valencia sported the same costumes. You would see a huge group of girls all dressed as witches, then another group as super heroes or ghosts and lots of them just wore white tshirts ripped with blood.

... a zip-line and wheelbarrows, moving furniture, cooking, cleaning and of course we came especially to help baking the bread, which they do on Tuesday's! Every week Jordi and the others bake 84 breads to be sold in organic shops, bakeries and local costumers in Alcoy. It was great to learn to make traditional sourdough bread ...

... just). Recycling is easier and sometimes even faster! You are just lucky with what you get (mostly even surprised and excited!). You decide what to take by checking what is still edible and hygienically sane to take.

... was closed. It was not only a Sunday but the church holiday of All Saints Day. We instead went to a small town called Gata, yes meaning female cat. There was a small bodega which sold the wine so we got to go there and taste a very tiny portion and taste almond nugget. Neither were good. Then we drove to another small town all closed up and got to have ...

... of the old city survived intact. And perched on a steep hill overlooking the city was the jewel that crowns Granada to this day, the Alhambra. Built by the Nasrid dynasty in the 14th century, the Alhambra is a massive walled complex of palaces, residences, and strongpoints that dominate the city. The stones used to construct it glow with a red sheen, especially in the light from the setting sun. Its name comes from a corruption of the Arabic for "Red Castle ...

so the first weekend there we all went to corzola, the largest national forest in spain. absolutely breathtaking. you may hike for hours and hours, but it is definitly 'marece la pena.' grenada, the second weekend, by far my favorite city that i visited in spain. a very beautiful, chill ...

... that's already opened this Sunday. Things are locked tight in most of Granada today, but everything's open in the "tourist" area, and I'm only a couple of block away. It's a fine, sunny day, promising a warm afternoon...much better than I could hope to expect back home in Ottawa at this time of year.
