Yesterday we went to the beach in Almeria. We decided to figure out the bus system and our beach days are going to be gone soon, so yesterday was the perfect day to head to the bus stop. We ended up waiting for the bus for like 40 minutes, but we did catch it! Twenty minutes and 1.30 euro later, we were at the bus station on the way to the beach. It was more crowded than last time, but still just as nice. The water was also kind of cold, but we ventured in anyways. ...then came the jellyfish. Then came the other jellyfish... :/ But they were both dead, but still I was ruined for the water. Plus as a stood in the crystal clear water and talked to Aisha and Alice as they swam, all I could pay attention to were the fish swimming around them. And if you don't know, I'm terrified of fish swimming near me. 
So after a few hours at the beach, we caught the next bus back. Aisha and I were planning on going to the mall and just getting off the bus about half way into town... but of course, just like everything else the makes zero sense in Spain, we were not allowed to get off the bus. Even though it stopped. Still not sure what the issue was, but whatever, we just went home to rest for awhile.
Then we found out how truly sunburnt Alice was. She referred to herself as the blond tomato, if that helps you visualize. But regardless I made sure we did something after the failed mall trip. So we went out for tapas in Huercal. We went to the same restaurant that we ate at last Sunday because Alice knew they make their own beer.
So we sat down at the outdoor eating area and very soon were greeted by the only other group outside "Hello!" Come to find out this couple who were eating and drinking with their friend both spoke excellent English and we chatted with them for about an hour and a half as they gave us life advice and we laughed at the friend who knew very little English. Then something even cooler than our Spanish/ English conversation happened; Aisha found out that our waiter was from Morocco like her dad is. So they started speaking in French and the multilingual night went on. After parting with our new friend and paying the bill we walked back to the flat and called it a night.
Today, Ignacio, a very nice looking 23 year old guy who works at the school and is the son of the school directors, took us to San Jose which is a beach about 45 minutes from Huercal. So the first part of the day was filled with swimming and tanning. Then we ate some delicious Italian food at a restaurant in the cute town of San Jose.
Just when Aisha and I thought we were headed home, Ignacio took us to the absolutely beautiful National Park in Cabo de Gata and to another beach where we spent about two hours relaxing some more. *Fun fact: Some of the Indiana Jones movies were shot in the desert there as well as some Clint Eastwood western movies.
Tonight is the Supermoon Lunar Eclipse!!! I'm waking up at 4AM to try and see it! See you then if you're on Snapchat!
Buenas Noches!
