Cortijo
On the 13th we took a little trip outside of the city to German's parent's cortijo or little farm/garden house. There we made paella and sangria and then went for a walk around the river close by. It was a lovely, lovely day. The weather was perfect and it was really nice spending the day together with everyone.
Almuñécar
On the 14th Ruth, Katie, Amy, Chelsea, Kelsey and Rachel all went to the beach in Almuñécar. The first part of the day was cloudy and windy but then the sun came out and it was a very nice day. It was great to finally get on the beach!

Horseback riding
On the 19th we finally got to go horseback riding! I was excited even though I knew it was just going to be a walking trail ride (I was right). We split into 2 groups for the 40 minutes ride around the surrounding country side and town. I was the most experienced of everyone and I obviously shouldn't be judging anyone people, I have an above average experience with horses, but sometimes I just don't get how people don't know how to ride a horse! No one completely failed except for dismounting. I almost burst out laughing at some of the people getting off. #sorrynotsorry

| While we waited for the second group to finish their ride, we hung out with the prettiest dog I have ever seen! |
 |
| We also babysat the owner's daughter Lola while we were waiting. She was so cute! Michael was her favorite. At one point she adorably and shyly took a toy from him and he turns around and says "What a flirt!" |
On the 20th and 21st Sam, Ruth, Katie, Maggie, Leah, Alex, Luziel, Emily, Devon, Adrian and Wes all went to Salobreña for the weekend! We got there Saturday, checked into our hotel and headed off to the beach. Unfortunately, we didn't see the beach that day but still had loads of fun playing volleyball, soccer, climbing the rocks and drinking wine. The next day was a little warmer but I still didn't get to see the sun because Ruth and I caught an earlier bus back than the others and the sun didn't come out until after we left! Still had a great time with a great group of people.

Beas hike: Round 2
The last time I did this 10 mile hike, Sam, Tess, Ruth and I got ourselves lost and then turned off the beaten path. This time with Leah, Alex, Maggie, Katie and Ruth we found the correct trail and did the hike in less than 5 hours instead of 6! Highlights from this trip include some sidestepping thigh workouts, a run in with a snake, and sassy Australian one liners ("I thought we wanted to head towards Granada")
