Me amo mi famila

 I know this post is out of order, but I just needed to write about seeing Kelly today!!  I'm so excited I got to see Kelly.  I know I've only been here for a month but I have been a bit homesick lately.  It could be that I have known she'll be coming, but either way this visit couldn't have come at a better time.

Last night she arrived at around 8:30 or so, and so I gave them about an hour or so before I left to grab some dinner.  Then I headed out, unfortunately I tried to walk...bad decision.  I got a bit lost, but no worries, I made it there fine.  I just turned around and went back towards the center of town and took a cab up there.  So granted I got there a bit later than I wanted to, but I still got to see Kelly.  First I saw Mr. Alphonso, and I cried a little bit because I was homesick and really just wanted to see Kelly, haha.  But they found Kelly and the Megan's.  I just mostly sat down in the lobby and hung out with all of them, talked to Alphonso a bit, and talked to the girls too.  Megan Camp apparently filmed a bit of it when me and Kelly saw each other, although I certainly didn't notice that. But eventually I was forced to leave with reassurance that I would see her again tomorrow.  I made plans to meet with them near the river and hang out with them during their free time tomorrow.

So today I went to my first class while they were in the Alhmabra and then I headed over the AIFS office to wait for them.  The AIFS office was the closest to their meeting point, so I just waited for Rafa to call me.  Rafa, the tour guide leader of EF Tours gave me a call at around 12:30 and said they were heading over to the bridge.  So I headed over there and met up with them all.  YAY! Finally!!  Then the girls all had until about 4:20 of free time, so I took a bunch of the girls with me to walk around Granada.  I took Kelly, the Megan's, Genna and Maria with me.  I found an awesome Kebab place for them to eat.  Kebab's are basically big burritos, and they are delicious!  All the girls got one and I got props for finding the place!! Yes I say found because I haven't actually eaten out a whole lot in Granada.  I mostly eat at my house and then go out for tapas, which isn't exactly meal time food.  So we just went towards Plaza Nueva and found this Kebab place that I knew they'd like.

After that I took them shopping, mostly touristy shopping because it was siesta time and just about everything but the big chain stores and the touristy shops are closed.  So we stuck around Plaza Nueva for a while and the girls were able to get the stuff they wanted from some of the stores.  Then we headed over to the Cathedral to do a little bit more shopping.  After that Megan Camp needed camera batteries so I took them to Corte Ingles to get her some more batteries.  We found them alright and then went down to grab some ice cream before I had to get the girls back to their meeting spot.  I had a lot of fun, got to show the girls around and they were quite grateful to me as well because I was able to clear up a few things for them.  Like Megan Camp accidentally bought 3 scarves instead of 2 and I had to help her get her money back and return one of the scarves.  But the girls overall had a good experience, as did I.

I've very glad I got to see Kelly.  I'm so happy I could show them where I'm living and they can understand so much better what I'm doing here.  Overall, I'm very happy.

Love you all!!
