So... I am lying in bed, at 2:30, and it just hit me. What the hell have we done! I think it's starting to sink in a little, or I'm still jet lagged, but we are here....really doing this.
Today, errrrr...tomorrow we are driving into Granada to try and get the kids registered in school. This has been one of the major stressors we have faced, as we couldn't register them from home, and the school here starts in a couple weeks at most. If we don't get them in school, then we are home schooling for the year, which may change all our plans.
Aside from that, its still quite surreal being here. We hiked down to the beach yesterday.... We were told you couldn't drive down, there is a parking lot at the top and a shuttle bus takes you down. In all the research we did, no where did we find that. I just thought the beach was quiet because of the seclusion and the "nature" of the beach. Turns out the shuttle only runs in July and August. After September 1st, the road is open to all. The beach still wasn't all that crowded though.
The water was quite warm, and we could snorkel easily. The rugged cliffs are amazing, and the views are spectacular (looking out or up that is ;) ). We will check out the restaurant one day, but it seemed a little pricey for a regular hangout. There is a standup paddleboard rental shop at the beach, but we didn't get a chance to ask about prices. We hope we can make a deal to rent a couple long term, easier then buying, and we wouldn't have to carry them down to the beach every day.
Since we do have a early start, and a busy day, I will end here and try to get some rest. Maybe now my mind will quit spinning.
