Christmas, Chanuka, cookies, cakes, carols, candy, chocolate, cleaning, choirs, castles, chicle, classes, celebration, canciones, creeping, calling....
Cannot believe all that December has brought!
To start, last thursday was such a glorious day when I got off the bus and saw my brothers standing, suitcases in hand, waiting for me to pick them up. Seeing their faces and hugging them, physically hugging them, was such a great feeling.
Since their visit I think we have done more sleeping in and eating than anything else. It's amazing that no matter how much time goes without being together, we can still act like our lazy selves...
It's really sad, the first place we went to eat at was a chinese restaurant and the second I took them to visit the Kebab King and my friends Jamel and Carmen at the tea place, turns out the brothers aren't too fond of kebabs:( nearly broke my heart! Thankfully Timo was nice enough to suggest going for tapas so my brothers and I acompanied him, April, Timo, and Dani for some yummy tapas. It was a good first experience of tapas for my bros. Other than that we didn't do much more but we did take a day trip to Malaga in which we attempted to visit a castle so we climbed forever long up a friggin mountain only to find out that as soon as we got to the tippy top they had closed the castle entrance 10 minutes before.... unhappy Foli. My sadness was turned to happiness when we got to go to the Picasso museum and look at artsy stuff, mainly picasso-y stuff. I am almost positive I left cross-eyed from staring at the paintings to long in attempts to figure out what they were.
Christmas Eve came way too quickly and I felt very unprepared. I was thankful to pass it with my roommates' family. They were a funny bunch and the food was delicious! We had a ton of food and desserts... mmmmmmmmm. Unfortunately, I had the worst asthma attack of my life and thought I was going to die:( not the happiest ending to my christmas BUT as we say here in Granada, "no pasa na'" I am good now... though the lack of oxygen to my brian culd posibly be detrimental...
well, this is just a quick update in honor of my brothers' visit. Tomorrow is their last day in Granada and we go up to Madrid together. From their we part ways and they go back to SoCal and I got to Dublin Ireland:)
As my brothers' stay comes to an end and I start dreading their departure I cannot but thank God for this time we had together.
