When we got to Malaga we noticed a hostel right across the street from the train station, so we headed over to get a room for the night. I'm not sure what sparked the intensity between Miles and the hostel attendent, but for some reason they were firing off about each others ability to speak english. when we finally did get to our room, I heard Aaron blurt out "Thats two for Mat and three for Miles". I didn't realize he had been keeping count of how many times we had been in some type of confrontation...LOL! When we did settle in I had huge doubts as to wheather or not it was even a hostel, you see up to this point all the hostels had been filled with the costant flow of young people comming and going, but this one apparently was some type of retierment home. Trust me when I say that there wasn't much flow of comming and going, and I was quite confident that Miles wasnt going to get turned away for not meeting the age requirements...LOL! The next morning of the 2nd we hit the first train to Granada. Miles had a friend living in Granada that he wanted to see, a young lady by the name of Liz. Liz had recently taken a job there as a nanny for an eight month duration, and was one month into her contract. Before heading over to spain Liz was working as the youth minister at the chuch Miles was attending, so thats how he knew her. Liz was a delightful young lady just full of energy and since it was her day off, she became our own personal tour guide. We spend most of the day exploring around in an old palace right at the edge of town. The palace was built hundreds of years ago by the Muslims, and the details that went into it were just astonishing. That evening we were just plain beat, infact the moment i hit that pillow back at the hostel I was out. The next monring of the 3rd it was raining on our the way to the train station which was actually quite peaceful. When we cought the early train to Madrid, we wern't really sure at that point where we wanted to go. We had had talked about heading on over to Lisbon, but because of time restraints it requires to take a few over night train rides and at this point none of us were really up for that.
