10 guys going to a bath???

In Cordoba we went to the Arab baths, which was an interesting event. And yes this is not a real picture of our massages, but I thought it looked good. So the 18 of us all following Christi into the baths not knowing what to expect. At first I felt a little fruity walking into to these baths although I kinda got into it at the end. Going from a warm bath to a hot one, followed by a cold one it was pretty cool. Going from the hot bath to the cold bath felt like needles were shooting through your entire body it actually took your breath away . Then you could break up that pattern and through in a little stop to the sauna which felt like 500 degrees and looked with you were walking into a burning building. You were barely able to see one foot in front of you.
In the middle of this process we all got 15 minute massages, which again was interesting, after she rubbed my gleuteus grande maximus for a little it became a little more comfortable. The night was actually really relaxing.

SuperBowl XLII??? New England who?? 18-1? sooo we were in madrid for Super Bowl Sunday. We were freaking out that we would not be able to watch the game. Since Kevin is a patriots fan and Im a Giants fan this game was causing some drama. Although we found a place called Larry's Bar, we walked in an to our surprise were surrounded by 70 english speaking Americans!!! The game was amazing and yes Im praying in this picture, I was a bit apprehensive for most of the game although my boys pulled it out 17-14.

So the first night in Granada was a free night to roam, although we all went to watch the sunset while sketching the Alhambra. This was awesome, we sat for a little less then two hours and sketched while the sun quickly dropped. Now I know this sounds perfect but there were sketchy people there roaming, wild dogs running everywhere, and people playing the guitar asking for money. But other then that it was a good time. We all hacked away at our sketchbooks while Eric sat there for 15 minutes and came out with the Mona Lisa, but as he said that drawing has taken him 20 years. The next day we actually went into the Alhambra and sketched and walked around the palace.
