Arab Baths

I had midterms this week, and although I was nervous, I realized very quickly that I didn't need to be. First of all, I only need to pass them. But, I studied anyway. The tests in all my classes were probably the equivalent of an 8th grade general unit test, they were that easy. Nothing like my midterms and finals back at UNH. The tests pretty much mimicked the study guides we were given. So obviously, when I got my exams back I passed with flying colors. Yippee!!

Most of the kids from UNH left Wednesday morning to go to the Balearic Islands off of Spain, but me and my friend stayed in Granada. To celebrate making it through half the semester, we went to the Arab Baths, which was an awesome experience. The environment was very peaceful and architecturally fascinating. The place had three pools, a warm pool that you could swim in, a shallow hot pool that you could lay in, and a hot tub sized cold pool. You are supposed to rotate from the warm to hot to cold pool, and then sit in the sauna. It's very good for your skin. I made two rounds of this, minus the freezing cold pool, I barely made it in and out of there if was so chilly! I really liked the hot water pool, it was so relaxing to just lay back and take in the environment. After about an hour of that, we were called for our 15 minute massage! It was fantastic and well needed! I have never been so relaxed. After the session was over, I could already tell my skin was super soft and refreshed. I went home and showered and felt ready to take on the day. 

That pretty much sums up the excitement for the week. I'm off to the airport to pick up Paul and his family!!!!! I'm very excited to see him! This week is Semana Santa, a huge week long Easter celebration in Spain, I will be blogging about it for sure come next week! Till then, I'll be enjoying my few days with Paul!
