Greetings from Granada

Hello Beautiful Cousins & other possible blog readers,
Life in Spain is going well. Last week were the fiestas of my barrio, it´s like the DeKalb country fair with different musical acts and better food. This fine event which distantly honors some virgin, took place directly beneath my window... so I couldn´t have slept even if I´d atempted- so I took to the streets- eating and dancing - and I had the luck of meeting some amazing people, 2 of these individuals Fidel and Carlos, just happend to be heading for Fidel´s home pueblo the next day and it was clear they were good folks so I decided to go with them. which is how I found myself in a town of 8 casas in provincia Soría last week, it was also the time of festival there - like it is everywhere now- so small children, old people, and one lone Indiana girl danced in the streets and drank sangria till 8 in the morning- I actually slept on the bench fron 7-8 untill fidel and Carlos decided it was a reasonable hour to go home. I also went on some amazing hikes and collected natural tea with Fidels crazy father. Oh hear is a funny moment- Fidel´s father some how got it in his head that I could play the piano... I think I May have sat down and taped out the one verse of silent night that I still know from my 3rd grade recital- but we- all of Fidel´s family were getting ready to sit down to dinner - and Fidel´s dad is like - Laura Stop... we are not going to eat untill you play us a song... I tried to explain that I did not know an entire song, they thought I was just being humble... so finally I played the upper hand of heart and soul accompanied by off key singing.

Right now I´m writing you all from Granada... I came right here from Soria, I had amazing luck with a contact and have been following around 5 amazingly talented and crazy graffiti artist... it´s contageous... such good energy... fotos to come when I return to Madrid, they have been so nice - taking me all over Granada to the best graffiti ... letting me film them ect...
Tommorrow I´m going to do some of the more traditional "granada visiting activites" like the Alambra.... take a foto that isn´t graffiti ect.
Much love, be well... Laura
