01.6.08

Today activities consisted of relaxing and recovering from the Granada trip. We spent over an hour lounging around the beach, until a series of ominous rain clouds blotted the sun out of the sky. Most of the stores and restaurants were closed today, but I did collect all of the necessary information about the bike rental.


For lunch, I grabbed a chicken sandwich and a custard-filled doughnut from a local convenience store. They were both tasty. Afterwards, I relaxed near the school’s pool before going home. I took a long-needed siesta and, for dinner, feasted on one of Spain’s most popular dishes, paella. I had some paella in Madrid, but it was not as good as Carmen’s. Everyone has their own variation of paella, but it typically includes chicken, sausage, shrimp, mussels, vegetables, and rice. Carmen’s paella featured rice, red peppers, peas, sausage, and beef.
