ok. i won't lie. i'm a little irritated. i'm already supposed to be at the coast. but, i'm not. we were supposed to leave around 5pm for the coast in almería. it's 9pm and i'm still in granada. lauren's friend was going to drive us after he got off work. i didn't realize that he works in madrid. so right now, he's on the way back. but, he called her a little bit ago to say that now, he doesn't want to go, with no explanation. he promised to explain once he got here, and we don't know how far he is from granada. this would all be fine, if i hadn't been sitting inside all stinkin' afternoon waiting for them to call me to go. and it was a beautiful, sunny, fantastic afternoon. i could have been taking advantage of one of my last afternoons in granada. instead, i was sitting around waiting for them. they called at 3pm to say that we should be leaving by 6 or 7pm, so not to go out. ok...i waited. 8:15pm...umm...there's a bit of a problem. alright, i can definitely appreciate the fact that antonio, lauren's friend, offered to drive us and take us around the coastal area. however, if we knew he was going flake, we would have rented our own car, or grabbed a bus on our own. either way, lauren and i decided we're going to the coast. it'll probably be by bus tomorrow morning or something. grr.
