Well since a normal day in Granada, Spain in the middle of March is 71º I decided I wanted to take in some of the beautiful weather in between classes. After getting to an interesting start noticing a bowl of whole fish in my refrigerator during breakfast, I went to class per usual. Later, I decided to eat my bocadillo outside in this lovely weather in front of some beautiful pink trees and fountains, I went to class only to discover that my classmate convinced my professor to take us to a café for another classmates birthday. We sat outside and talked to each other in Spanish while having our drink of choice (coffee or beer). Our professor even ended up paying the entire bill for us. It was such a great, productive day. 
Later on my roommate and I decided to go to this free yoga class all the way in the Albacín, over 30 minutes from our house then another 10 minute walk uphill on the cobble stone roads. Unfortunately, once we finally arrived after asking for many directions, we found out that there was no class and that it would be starting in April. But it was not a waste, we got a ton of exercise on the walk up and we got to see the entire city of Granada lit up at night. We passed by many cute, little shops and Tetarías along the way and now know we definitely want to go back. I am returning Saturday with Nick for dinner and a show so I now have a little heads up on where I am going and what I want to do in the Albacín.
Once we got home for dinner, I found the same fish that were in the refrigerator this morning fried and on a plate in front of me. They are called Boquerones, a very traditional Spanish dish. With my boquerones I had bolied eggs stuffed with paté which is duck liver. Definitely something I would never eat in the States but were actually not too bad. I can honestly say that I am embracing the Spanish culture.
