We didn't have class on Wednesday.. which turned into most students not going to class on Thursday also (I'm not going to say if I went or not!) as it was a Spanish holiday. Friday was Día de la Cruz - Day of the Cross and also the day for dancing. They played flamenco in the plazas and people either watched the dancers or danced themselves. I took a flamenco class, and I must say, I'm not bad. We went to this bar and I was dancing with this short little spanish lady and she said I'm pretty good! Add that to the - "Things I Didn't Know Were On My Bucket List"- list I guess. So Kelsey and I joined in and danced flamenco in the street!
Here are some pictures from the day.

| This couple was tearing up the stage with their flamenco. It was just a couple that was standing in the crowd and was pulled up. I was hoping they would pick me! (KIDDING... but really.) |
 |
| We walked up to get some lunch and these people were eating tapas off their horses. I have no idea who they were or why they were doing that.. but everyone acted like it was totally normal. |
Since it was Día de la Cruz, there were crosses all over the city. These are the two we saw before it started raining.
The orange cross was done by the famous graffiti artist of Granada. No one has seen him, but word on the street is that the city hires him to put pretty graffiti around the city. His trademark is a clock gear.

| Ok look at the backdrop. Now look at the bottom right corner below the kid's face- that's his mark. |
This is a short video of the flamenco in a plaza. I have no idea why it turns white at the end, but it's still pretty cool.
Then we went to the beach on Saturday! I'm on the last few days that I can soak up some Mediterranean rays so I'm going as often as possible!
Well I'm off to Rome in about 2 hours. It's my last trip! I can't believe how fast the time has flown.
Happy Mother's Day all!
