Granada

Yesterday, my mom and I had the second most amazing meal in spain (but not losing by much). We ate at El Hostal del pintor. My mom informed me that since it was mentioned in the michelin guide, it must be good. I had never heard of the Michelin guide, but I just liked the look of the place. I had a veal steak (which my mom then informed me that I would never receive in the US- bummer) which was amazing!! can´t say enought great things about this restaurant. And, the next day...

I have arrived in Granada. So, the first thing I did, being a daughter of my mother, was get a map of the city. Then, found my hostel, then, went on a jaunt. I ended up at a tapas bar with a new spanish boyfriend!! He is about 50- mid 50´s, married, and bald (matt in the hat- i think not!). But, he kept telling everyone that stopped in that i was his girlfriend, just because I offered him a seat. He could tell I wasn´t from spain, and that is when the sparks really started to fly- or maybe it was after my third glass of wine. Anyway, he asked if I was going to be around tomorrow, not in a creepy way, and I said I wasn´t sure. I just hope mom approves! (haha). What a great start to my first day in Granada!

I think I am going to check out a different area of town tonight.
