Vamos a la playa!





This past Sunday a few friends and I went to the beach for the day. For Ellen and I it was quite a journey to go to the beach, having been used to a short drive in San Diego, but for our other friends it wasn't a journey at all (they're from Nebraska and Colorado). We had to take the bus to get there and it was 2 hours there and 2 hours back. We left Granada at 9am and came back at 9pm. It was a great day!

The beach is called Nerja and is part of the region known as the Costa del Sol. Costa del Sol is located on the Mediterranean Ocean. Nerja is known in Spain as one of the most beautiful beaches to frequent. And it didn't disappoint! :) The water was a clear, teal and absolutely beautiful. The water was brisk, but comfortable enough to swim in. It was quite a warm day at the beach and it felt good to get in the water. I am definitely not accustomed to the topless norms on the beach in Europe and it took me by surprise. Once we were in the water, I made sure to ask ellen if there were sharks in the Mediterranean ;) But not to worry I could see right through the clear blue water, so I would see him about to eat me if he was there!
