Sierra Nevadas and Picnic

This weekend I got to stick around Granada for the first time in a while. On Friday, I had a field trip to the Sierra Nevadas. We basically hiked for 5 hours stopping every once in a while to discuss a plant or type of soil. It was super hot, like mid-70s with really strong sunshine which was great. The strange part was that there were patches of snow everywhere. I have no idea how they don't melt. 

Saturday, I woke up early and went to the Mercadillo which is like a flea market with tons of nuts and fruit and vegetables but also hundreds of stands of underwear and jumpsuits with quotes like "dame un beso" on them. It was hilarious. Then IES had a picnic in Las Mimbres which is about 20 minutes outside of the city. We basically played soccer, volleyball, and steal the bacon all day which was really nice. The things Granada lacks most are parks so it was great to be out in the sun and on the grass.
