La Playa! Salobrena .

Saturday February, 26 my roommate, Jen, and my friend, Maria, went to this beach in Granada called Salobrena. It's only February and it's beach time?? VAMOS! We got up early that morning to take an early bus so we could arrive at the beach at a descent hour since it's an hour and a  half  away. After waiting at the local bus station, for a half hour, to take us to the bus that would take us to Salobrena, we were wondering why our bus number still hadn't come...and why the other bus numbers had come more than once..where was ours? It was at a different station because, no surprise, we were at the wrong one. cool. This kind of stuff always seems to happen to us and I don't really understand why. You would think after living here in Granada for almost 2 months we would have all this figured out by now. Well that's a funny joke. Even though we wasted about forty minutes now getting to the beach, we still made it in time to make the 10 'o clock bus, of course after running, and cutting people in line, to only have the man tell me "it's sold out".  Since we had some time to spare and went to a convenient store to buy suntan lotion... Mom..Dad... are you so proud!? We ended up taking the 11 o' clock bus and were laying out by 12:45 :) We each packed our own lunch and had a cute little picnic  there on the beach that was not made of sand. I have been to two different beaches so far now in Espana and neither were made of sand, instead little rocks. Maybe from the mountains? I don't know. But the rocks tend to hurt your feet a lot, and when you walk you look like you're in a lot of pain. When we got there, we tried to sit near this group of boys there hoping to be friends with them by the end of the day. Plan worked. It wasn't long after our picnic that we were being serenaded by them, with the help of their friend playing music on his guitar. Guitar = BONUS. The boy with the guitar knew pretty good English, therefore knowing a lot of American songs on his guitar. Go figure, everyone here listens to our music. Causing a lot of head turns, we were singing , loudly I might add, the lyrics of Wonderwall by Oasis. I was happy that we met these boys there because it gave us another chance to practice our Spanish. And also because the one boy had pretty good English, he could help us even more with how to say different things in Spanish.The water was freezing, so there was no swimming being done by us girls, the boys on the other hand didn't think anything of it. We only went in up to our waists, and for a certain reason They even made us Mojitos and told us they had three houses here in Salobrena and for us to stay with them. How nice. We took the Mojitos, but when it was time to leave, we left. Haha. Apparently only in the states it's okay to walk around town in your swimsuit when you're around a beach because me and Maria got quite the looks, or maybe that's weird in America too?  Sangria, sun, Mojitos, beach, and Spanish boys = perfect day :)
