Is tomorrow really March?

---

So we end February with a rainy weekend in Granada. Today is Monday and we didn´t have classes because of the political holiday: Día de Andalucia. However, we toured some of the city we hadn´t seen: Parque de las Ciencias, Cartuja Monastery, saw some movies and found fun coffee shops where we sat to dry and enjoy each other´s company.

This week, Juanma, the 17 year-old boy, had his birthday so we celebrated by having a white cake, cream in the middle and fresh chocolate drizzled over the top---which, by the way, we ate still warm! Then they sang ¨Cumpleaños Feliz, etc.¨ It was fun to see that their tradition instead of 17 spankings is 17 ear tugs--a little nicer, I must say.

Lately we have made some day trips around Granada, ie Ronda of which I have pictures, and we head to Seville this weekend. Hopefully I will have more pictures to put up then, however it snowed in Seville this weekend for the first time in 15 years so it had better be gone by the time we get there! It figures we come the spring they have cooler weather than normal. Otherwise we´re attending our more regular classes and somedays believing we´ll crash with an overdose of Spanish! But, it´s so good for our improvement, we can see a difference already!

Can´t believe it´s March tomorrow (happy birthday, Kej!), everything has gone by so fast...Spring break is in 2 weeks and the Canary Islands is less than 2 months away, our time here is flying! Everyone keep us updated on American gossip...we don´t get it all over here! More soon...besos
