Down and Out in Grenada


In Grenada now, seems like a great town. But I wouldn´t know ´cause I´m sick as a dog! Fever, phlegm, yah yah yah. Starting to feel a bit better, yesterday morning I wouldn´t have been able to form sentences. Thinking it´s a reaction to the vaccines I got right before I left. That´s better than the alternative. Como se dice ¨swine flu¨ en espanol?

Ben is my acting nurse, taking good care of me. His most given piece of advice is to take a cold shower.

Driving through the Spanish countryside is really nice, the landscape is dotted with little castle towns. Getting into the bigger towns that we´re visiting can be a bit stressful, though--skinny streets, a lot of restrictions on turning and such. The drivers are good though, so that helps.

Tomorrow morning we´re going to check out the Alhambra, the main attraction in Grenada. Hope I´m feeling up for it when the time comes.
