It's Raining...Inside the Hostel!

It's been pouring off and on since yesterday.  The hostel has huge areas that aren't roofed, creating quasi-indoor courtyards, and the computer is sitting in front of a big hole in the wall- a window without glass.  I've heard rumors that it does snow on occasion here, but you would never know that from the building design!

I stayed in bed all day yesterday, being a total bum, playing on the computer, watching Castle until 5am, reading Redwall (I don't know why I never read it as a youngster!) and of course my favorite activity, sleeping. 

Kayte, my roommate, went to the Alhambra with her group from Germany and had the fun of exploring it in the wet weather.  I'm planning on going tomorrow, although if it's raining  I may put it off another day.  Exploring the Alhambra is going be an epic tourist day, so I'm carefully planning my attack.  I will need to pack water, lunch, wear layers, acquire a guidebook, and have lots of batteries for the camera.  Guaranteeing entrance means being there at 8am...we'll see how motivated I am tomorrow morning.

Last night I went out for tapas with Kayte and her group and we also hit up a sweet shop and ice cream stand.  Lots of people were out in costume, lots of people were drunk, all in all it was a grand time.

Tonight is a Halloween Party at the hostel.  I think everyone is pretty torn between getting a good siesta in and getting ready for the party.  The beer has already started flowing, in part because everyone is so darn cccold!  However, it's still way warmer than San Sebastian and I have a down comforter!
