Ok so, I was convinced to go out to a bar last night even though we had an excursion today at 9am. It was and I had a good time until we went to leave. My friend and I were walking back up to the main street in Granada and as we passed out of a smaller street onto Gran Via, two guys walked by. One of them went out of his way to walk inbetween me and my friend thus pushing me outward toward his friend who, as I passed by, swung his arm at my head and brushed his hand through my hair. Two inches closer and he would have clocked me in the head. So startled, I turned around and looked at him and he said ¨hey. hey. HEY. HEY.¨ and I said hola not understanding what this interaction meant. Then he said ¨ven aqui. ven aqui conmigo.¨ And I said adios. It that how people hit on you in Spain? They go literal?
THEN today I got 3 hours of sleep and got ready to go on the hike we just got back from. We ended up crawling under rock formations jutting out into the path we walked on several feet above a rocky creek-stream. So that was intense. But the hike was nice.
Then coming back to the residencia I went to buy monedas to use the washer and dryers downstairs. I went in with Ali who also bought monedas and she talked to the receptionist first. She bought her monedas while I fished out change to pay with, and also while a new family came to move their daughter into the residencia. Her bag tags said she was from Israel...just thought Id mention it. Anyways, they went in front of me while I got money. They got the key to her room and the receptionist asked if they knew where the room was. He then left the office to point out the building it was in. While he was outside I waited patiently fo rhim to return since it was quarter to 2, when the office closed. He waved them adieu and came back to the door. ¨great, I get to wash my clothes now¨ i thought. He reached for the door and pulled to no avail. I thoguht he had locked himself out. So he brought out his door keys and put them in the door, turned them, pulled the door again (which didnt open) and walked away. He locked me in the office and left for his break 15 minutes early. So I stood there confused for a while then searched out people that might still be in the office. No one. Then I called Emmy and asked her to find someone who could unlock the door. She went on her search and thank you for doing so Emmy! I ended up flagging down a cleaning lady as she walked by who asked me what I was doing in the office. IM TRYING TO GET SOME GOD DAMN MONEDAS AND LEAVE. But she walked around the corner after seeing my predicament and brought the receptionist back who was very embarrassed and insisted that I was in the baño while he left. False. I was directly in front of the door, basically. So now Im going to use these hard earned monedas and take a nap.
Until the next story -

and i remember that hike through the sierra! and i remember the terror of crawling under rocks to continue on the path. haha, it was ridiculous! but a lot of fun, like u mentioned.
also, congratulations getting locked in the office. u win at life. i once got locked in a toys r us by myself on xmas eve, if u can believe it. i wasnt even young enough to find the thought of being locked in a toystore exciting.
