Granada is full of orange trees but I haven’t seen anyone pick or eat any of the oranges. After asking some other students, we discovered that none of us know if it’s illegal, or frowned upon or what the rules are regarding this public fruit. I think I will have to investigate further this weekend.
Big day. Grammar classes were challenging, but then in one of the afternoon classes, we played Spanish Scrabble and I won!!! (by three points with the word “jugosos” or something like that.) After classes Jillian, Paul, Anita, Blanca, William and myself took a bus up to a little town called Dilar right outside of Granada in the hills for a little horseback riding. It was gorgeous! I was a little disappointed because in the bus they played the fine musical sounds of Madonna, Britany Spears and ABBA. I finally did come across some street performers playing some Spanish guitarra which was very enjoyable! Despues, Anita and I went out for tapas and some laughs. She unknowingly provided me with today’s “SABES QUE…” :
“It’s not unusal to come across pig feet in the streets of Spain.”
(I have not experienced anything like this yet.)

The mystery is solved. The public oranges are not like normal oranges and taste bitter and possibly make you enfirma. I wander how many people watch for tourists to try them.
Also, any of you ladies looking for a new musical theatre audition piece, I recommend one of these lovely Spanish 80's tunes (which we learned in class today):
