This morning we woke up early again and ate breakfast at the hotel. We left around 10 AM to go to El Escorial, which is a gorgeous and massive monestary. It was breath-taking. We had a really good tour given in SPANISH, which was kind of scary but made us all pay attention. Thankfully she talked really slow so it was easier to keep up. I've included some pictures below, they cannot capture the beauty at all!
After the trip to El Escorial (it was about a 45 minute trip by bus, oh and it's considered the 8th wonder of the world by the way...) we grabbed lunch at a pizza place (see the picture below) and it was SO DELICIOUS. We were going to go to another museum for the afternoon, but we were all absolutely exhausted. I came back to the hotel and talked to my mommy finally for more than 3 minutes and took a little nap. We had a meeting tonight about the city of Granada, and they gave us a map with a bunch of stuff labeled on it, and my apartment is pretty close to a lot of my friends' places! So that is exciting. After our meeting we went back to the irish pub for dinner and had some amazing fish and chips...they are starting to love us there! Tomorrow we are finally headed to Granada, with a stop in Toledo along the way. I am so excited to get to my apartment in Granada, meet my landlady/mom/maid, and move in! I'm sick of living out of a suitcase and feeling like a tourist!
Fish and Chips!
Gardens at El Escorial....beautiful!
I have more pictures but they are refusing to upload, so I'll include them in my next post! It is after midnight here so I need to pack up my stuff for our big trip in the morning! Miss and love all of you so so so much!
