day 10






Every trip has its  adversities. We arrived in Granada to our hostel - a very nice hostel - marble staircase etc. it just so happened that our floor was almost entirely booked with a school group (14-16 yr olds) that showed up at the time we were about to go to sleep! Not much sleep needless to say, not inclyding a surreal 5 second flamenco singer/guitarist in the middle of the night.
Granada is a beautiful university city and most famous for the Alhambra. It is most spectacular although the most heavily trafficked/touristy place with unclear time parameters as to when you have to enter certain areas in the complex which some we missed and weren't allowed into although we PAID FOR IT!!! Beware when you go , we'll try to coach you on what to do.

Hi to All!
Borys, after all you are in 'lecheland'! Your experience at the hostel instantaneously transported me back to the campground s.of Firenze in Aug/83, when Tato coined the word "leches".
Do you remember? Great stuff!!!
Tsiom-tsiom to everyone,
Baba
