Day 52- loquacious \loh-KWAY-shuhs\, adjective:

(Dictionary.com word of the day, as used in a sentence:)
I realize that my recent posts have been a little loquacious, so I´ll try to keep this shorter for you busy folk.

Last night:
Great flamenco show with an interesting Indian music accompaniment.
Met up with Lauren and Clair again and went to a bar where everyone (mostly locals) stood outside at little tables on the sidewalk. We even had a little impromtu flamenco singing performance from some guys we met there who are in a band. Clair captured it on video...nice!

Today:
Packed bag which gained about 10kilos in two days as a result of dumpster diving (you´ll see when I get home).
Train Station-guy was so slow making our reservation that we just walked away from the counter 4 minutes before its departure (arrived with 20+ min to spare) and boarded the train, then hid out in the (luckily large and clean)bathroom-all three of us- to avoid being found out and fined. Hannah read to us, and at one point, a lady opened the door, and with a shocked/amused laugh, closed it again. Eventually, we took a seat and were never asked for our tickets. Stow-aways!
Granada around 3pm, through Arabic shop area to get to our "Oasis," which is an awesome 15EUR/night place with free breakfast, internet, cheap meals, bar, free coffee/tea, and more. One of the best deals yet.
Hostel receptionist from Sweden, Maddie, was really cool and joined us for a 3 course meal with drink and dessert at a Chinese restaurant for > 5 EUR.

Who knows what´s in store for tonight. Tomorrow: Alhambra, which is very beautiful and comparable to the Alcazar in Seville, from what I´ve heard.
