GRAcias por NADA

Despite what the title says, I actually rather enjoyed my time here in Granada. Granted, I wish that I´ve could´ve done more but that´s what return trips are for (but not this time). Anyway here´s the breakdown of the last two days:

June 29

Went to the Parque de las Ciencias. As it turned it was mainly for little kids. And as it further turned out, I was too hot and tired after walking thirty minutes (it felt like thirty) in the sun to get there to really care. And I´m glad I decided to stay. There was a small exhibit on Einstein and apparently both of us agree to the concept of a world government.

However (to go on a side note.) I think that the evolution of a world government will not result in different countries in reliquishing a great deal of their sovereignty and the recognition of an international body but through militray conquest by a military alliance where the members share a common ideology (ie NATO) . Face it, no one country has the power to conquer the world whereas those with strong economies and advanced militaries would be able to subdue the others. (Yes, I do have this more or less planned out on how this will happen but only if certain conditions are met. In other words, never.)

Back to the parque. There were several other exhibits all which were interactive. It was similar to the National Geographic museum. Almost. After that I cooked my goose back in bed for several hours before I went to check out the cathedral nearby. I had expected it to be another Gothic cathedral so I left my camera and my cell. Big Mistake. As it turned, the cathedral was built in the Baroque style. IE Gothic on steroids and LSD. I´d go into excrutiating detail but other people have to use the computer. Just think grand, gold, bright blue, and a clean white. I didn´t do much after that, just saw the EuroCup championship and supported Spain. Apparently Germany didn´t play as well as I´d hoped. The Spaniards played better than I expected. I went out for abit to take pictures of people going crazy and went to bed to get ready for Alhambra. (Next post.)
