Granada

I, along with my group of students and fellow staff, have arrived in Granada. Finally the air has cooled down and the city streets are once again filled with revelry and joy (as opposed to the rather muted tone of Cordoba).

Today we took a bus out to Guadix, a town about an hour outside of Granada, where many people still live in five-hundred year old cave-dwellings in the hills. The houses are really cool (twenty celsius all year round), and actually quite spacious. They are also, thanks to chimneys that poke up out of the hills, quite well ventilated.

We will be in this area for another three or four days, and on the third of August will commence our trip back to the United States.

More soon, along with pictures.
