Here Bidet, Gone Tomorrow

Well guys, curiosity got the best of me in the worst possible way. Everywhere we go, every bathroom has a bidet. These curious little bathroom additions have caught my eye on several occasions and last night at the hotel, I decided to turn it on. Here I am thinking it is about to be somewhat like a gentle water fountain, and all of the sudden, a jet stream of water flies towards me…I am soaking wet with bidet water, and the floor is flooded! Two things come to mind: (A) How am I going to clean all this up (B) OMG that would hurt your privates so bad!

Well, after this little fiasco, I decided that it was time to buy some Euro trash clothes! My new favorite store over here is called Pull and Bear, and I bought two cool pairs of yellow and purple jeans there.

Ok now the sucky part. So Granada is known to have a pretty cool nightlife, but guess who got a fever and sore throat last night…you guessed it…me. No pharmacy is open past 10, and I was stuck in a hotel freezing my butt off, and with a throat that resembled the bolts on Frankenstein’s monster’s neck. This morning though, Sarah, our guide, walked me to the pharmacy. On the way her pearls of wisdom came through. “You know why you are sick, right?” she said. “Why is that?” I choked through the pain. “Because you never sleep, you always go out.” To which I replied, “Sarah, I haven’t been out in three days, and I get eight hours of sleep a day…I am sick because there is something called bacteria…and it is in my throat.”  Yeah, I was sore throat diva. Well the pharm guy gave me antibiotics (which he isn’t supposed to do if you don’t have an RX) but the kicker is it was only 4 euros! That is ridic! Aren’t antibiotics like $60 in the US?

Ah yes, so in Granada…still sick mind you…we went and visited La Alhambra. It is a beautiful Muslim castle, but I felt like Tippie Hedren in The Birds because they were everywhere! I’m talking like swooping through the castle, screaming their little heads off. I just knew at any moment we would be reenacting the school house scene from that movie.

Well folks, that’s all I got for today. Cheers!
