My hostmom's daughter and her husband both live in Granada and I spent part of 2 out of three nights out on the town with them. They are amazing and generous people that insisted my euros were worth nothing in Granada.
Both of them spoke Spanish with a little English. It was great practice for me and I really enjoying telling jokes with her husband. He seemed to enjoy them and really liked telling me Spanish jokes as well. I will post one I particularly enjoyed later.
The places they took me to all had amazing tapas. One place they were full sized sandwiches with lamb, fried egg and mayonnaise, they were delicious. I found the tapas in Granada to all be savory and all very large portions compared to what I have seen in Madrid. Though I have found that they often make me more hungry then before.
As you can see we are both equally photogenic.
On the last night out with them in Granada they took me to a Salsa Club. At the club I came to the swift actualization that those several salsa classes that I have taken are nothing and I need a lot more practice. Also the club had a real middle school dance type feel to it in regards to way more girls then guys were present. All of them were lined up against the wall waiting for someone to ask them to Salsa. Unfortunately I did not have the courage, nor the salsa skills to oblige. Next time!
Another thing that held me back, though it shouldn't have, was how good some of the guys danced. Granted one was an instructor with his students but he was absolutely amazing. I ended up dancing for a few songs with my hostsister after her husband told me he doesn't dance. Right after we finished, his wife proceeded to beg him and managed to get him out on the floor. Little did I know that he wasn't a bad dancer at all, a lot better then me, and proceeded to show me how it was done. I had a great time at the salsa club and I loved the feel of the place. Both of them were a lot of fun. Also the club has renewed my determination in learning to Salsa.
