hola,
Today was another fun-filled day in Granada. I had one class in the morning before heading to the gym for a belly dancing class! (Called Danza del vientre in Españal.) It was actually really hard and I need a lot of practice. Shakira makes it look easy, but don´t let her fool you, it´s definitely not. After that class and lifting, I headed home for la short lunch and siesta. After that, I had my first visit for my Islamic Art and Architecture class. For the first day we just toured the city and discussed Islamic rimnents we saw in the cities center and others that were previously there but had been torn down. It was really interesting to see how much of a Muslin influence in Granada there still is today and realize how much of it was torn down or reconstructed when the Christians took over. This city has certainly been transformed over the years. For example, the river that runs through the city used to be completely open-air and had several bridges passing over it. Now, that river is covered by a road and runs underground. After that, I had one more class and then Flamenco class. Boy do I love that class. I am really bad right now but it´s so much fun. I´m pretty sure part of my final exam is to perform a dance. I´m so excited. After that, we hit the town for a little while. This is the city that never sleeps. Now it´s time for bed.
Hasta!
Ashley
