Granada Day 2
So, today was really laid back, but still a great day. I'm really enjoying the flow of the trip thus far. Even though we haven't made detailed plans, every day has been eventful and fun.
Today we went and saw a bit of the outskirts of the city of Granada. We were able to see the Alhambra, which is a major fortress on the side of a cliff. We also went to a Moroccan restaurant and teteria (tea house). Granada evidently has a very strong Moroccan influence on its culture. We also went to Mirador de St Nicolos, which I think literally translates to "St Nicholas' Lookout". And it was truly an amazing lookout over the city or Granada, to the Alhambra, and even to the Sierra Nevada mountains in the distance.
In the evening we experienced tapas. So, I'll explain it to you in American terms. Imagine you walk into your neighborhood Applebee's and order a beer. Or glass of wine. Or bottle of Coke or Pepsi. Well, not only would you get your drink, but they bring you out a grilled ham and cheese and french fries for free. Or chicken wings and french bread and potato chips. Or fried rice with shrimp. That's how tapas work. And if you order another drink, you get another plate of food. Awesome.
Well, we'll see what tomorrow has to hold!
Venga!

I'm sorry, but I think we need to start tapas where I'm at...nowz!! That sounds so good..but what happens if you order water?
i don't think you get free food with a glass of water, but maybe if you ordered a bottle or water. most the places we went, you could ask if you get tapas with whatever drink you were thinking about ordering.
