Good God Granada

Ross and I took a 5 hour bus ride from Madrid to Granada that in no way resembled the horrendous bus rides we were subjected to in Morocco, in that nobody flung orange peels at my face and the rest stop looked like someplace humans could live, rather than the dimension Pinhead in Hellraiser comes from.

But Granada is really cool. They have a unique local food called tapas, which is essentially a beer and a piece of food somewhere in between an appetizer and an entree. They usually cost about 2 dollars. Ross considers this to be some kind of fantastic deal, and does nothing all day but eat tapas and ask me if I want to go get some more tapas.

We recently decided that we need a budget if this trip is going to last longer than 3 weeks, so Ross and I decided to stick to about 10 Euros a day, with rollover Euros within the week, but not across the Sunday-Monday divide, coffee and beer excluded. Fortunately, we decided that tapas count as beer.
