Relief from the heat…
…for Evan & Ellie! Lately we’ve been taking E&E to our shared terraza, and as long as there is no laundry hanging out, spraying them down with water to cool off. They absolutely LOVE it! On Saturday as we walked by a bank with a temperature display we noticed that it was 108 degrees, and it certainly felt like it! People are saying that we should have another 2 weeks or more of the intense heat before it starts letting up.
Last night we had a BBQ on that same multi-purpose terraza with our neighbors, Cesar and Cristina. It was our first food off a charcoal grill since coming to Spain, and we loved it! We grilled steak, marinated chicken breast, and sausage. We also enjoyed talking and practicing our Spanish, half the time trying to figure out what the other person was saying and half the time laughing at our mistakes.
Yesterday morning we visited a Baptist church here in Granada, and enjoyed worshiping with other believers! We left for church ½ hour before it started, thinking that would be plenty of time. However, after waiting and waiting at the bus stop, and meeting a sweet old lady who talked nonstop and doted on the kids for about 20 minutes, the bus never came, so we started walking. We only arrived ½ late, but still got in on most of the service.
