So, I have been serving as faithful tourguide, translator and personal cook for family this week, and in this time I have learned to things,
1. I love my family, and anyplace feels so much more like home with them there.
2. I love Granada, I mean, it is still a gorgeous place...
See, living here you forget, but showing people around, somehow you begin to remember...
We went to the Alhambra, yesterday, and as the sun set over the mountains, and made our way through the Generalife Gardens, our view towering over the majority of the city, took hold of me and shook me. Here I was, living in this place, so beautiful and genuine, and I was taking it for granted. But luckily, having family here, they remind me of how cool and fun it is.
Also, I feel so much better being here. With family to keep me grounded I just feel okay. MEeting the Señora was funny little experience, which consisted of me sitting and talkingwith her, while the other two watched, my every attempt to translate was interrupted with more Spanish from Lola. Ha. Lady loves to talk. Infront of new people. Not so much to me. But oh well.
Outside of that, wandering the streets of Granada has taken on a new element of fun and I am really not wanted anyone to leave me...
Alas, I must be off. But all is well.
miss everyone lots
love everyone lots
me.

i like having you as my personal slave. please do laundry.

Your (still) favorite cousin
You two (you know who I'm talking about) are such bums (and dorks). You are left for a second to your own devices (while Liza is at school, I am guessing) and all you can think of doing is to write to her blog. :)
...anyway, it sounds like you guys are enjoying your time together.
Keep enjoying it!

I am glad your family's presence opened a new perspective on your Granada experience. Soak it in for years to remember!
Love and miss all of you!
I am so happy to see you all in Liza’s side. Please, go to Gena’s side and see Aroshka’s new films. Gena needs you!!! If you go now, he will receive more visitors from Span (see counters), if it is 10 it will be a big dot representing Span. Israel did it already.
Ckychau, tseluu BCEX.

Liz,
I'm so glad you're enjoying (or enjoyed) your family's visit! It sounds like tons of fun. Wish I could have been there too! I can't wait until you get home!!!
PS The psychic said that I'm a healer and a fixer and that I'll do something in HR, or PR for like a hospital or nursing home or hospice facility. She said that I'm meant to help people in this fashion (which is what I'm noe going to school for). She also said that I'll continue to get paid to dance (in a good way not a gross way) until the day that I die. Cool huh?
Love you and miss you!
-Allison!
