Jumping The Gap: Week 12 (Part 2): Benefit Concert and Science Park! -- 4/12 to 4/15/16

Last night was the benefit concert for the Granada Food Bank at Lemon Rock bar and hostel! With a couple hours of last minute rehearsals to polish some songs up, we were ready to perform. Of course every concert has its complications. Besides my fellow guitarist Alex breaking a string right before the concert and another one during a song, the microphones not totally working the whole time, or forgetting a lyric in a song once or twice, the concert went quite smoothly and we made it!

The bar was packed with our fellow ISA students, so glad that they were able to come out and support us, a definite shoutout to all ISA members! Also to all the ISA directors especially Rosanna, Marisa, Angel, and David (who let me use his guitar) for helping us out and getting everything set up. It was such a fun night, and I am so happy I got to play with our band Los Tintos de Verano, and I wish we could do another one!

I am in the process of getting all of the pictures from different people who took them and some videos too, so I won't be able to post them today, but they will be on my next post Monday so stay tuned!

Anyway today I just got back from the El Parque de Ciencias (Science Park) in Granada where we got to do different science experiments, see some animals, and just enjoy a beautiful morning perusing the exhibits both inside and outside. We were lucky enough that when we were on the observation tower looking out over the beautiful view of Granada, the park staff was doing an eagle demonstration. One of the staff brought an eagle up to the observation deck, let us take some pictures while it was waiting, and then let it go to search for a rake rabbit in a field across the park with a trainer. It was pretty amazing to see the eagle take off from the tower, soar around to get its bearings, and then bolt for the rabbit in the field. Amazing, yet terrifying.

Anyway here are some pictures from the park!
