Nippy accompanied us to the beach this past weekend. It's been a while since he got out so I thought it would be a good idea to post pictures. Just in time for the Collegiate Kiwanis meeting tomorrow!

Why I love Granada in Photos

Back home, I’m not a runner, but the gym isn’t opened on Sundays and I usually don’t wake up in time to go to the gym Saturday morning so I opted for a run around the river, which is simply gorgeous!

You know how in Yes Man when Zooey Deschanel’s character teaches that running/photography class? Well I decided to try taking pictures on my run Saturday. Turns out its as ridiculous as it sounds. I was not coordinated enough to take the picture as I was running so there was a lot of starting and stopping involved.

 

Also, there are always random animals hanging out in the city, for example this donkey was in front of the church all afternoon. Later on Saturday night, this crazy guy was riding him all over the plaza, then parked him outside a bar while he had a drink:

 

Sunday we went on a hike. Basically we followed the road past El Camborio until it ended. Then we went back and took a detour up a hill.

The ever infamous Alhambra

It's weird to see El Camborio in the daytime

Roadkill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
