A Taste of Spain


All right, I really am not going to write anything significant about Granada if I put it off longer, so this is what I'm going to do...a selection of the three hundred photos I have from the weekend. I hope you enjoy! By the way, the Alhambra was a palace built by a muslim king for his favorite wife way, way back in the day. You'll see.



Yours truly mopping the brow after a last minute run to catch the train to the airport.


The lovely establishment where Ruz and I spent the night before our early morning flight.


The lovely provisions we brought ourselves.


That which almost prevented us from leaving Germany due to the suspicions of a curious German security guardess.


Spain at last!

The view from our hostel window.


Our sweet living arrangements! A room shared with two adults ; )


A view of Granada coming down from the Alhambra.


One of several pictures taken of us by a Belgian couple we met at a restaurant. There was one with Rachel smiling, but I couldn't make that out from the thumbnail images. She really was happy : )


A picture of Ms. Resop from within the Alhambra.


One of the various large structures composing the Alhambra palace complex.


A view of Granada from the Alhambra...breathtaking!


Another picture of us...go plaid shorts in Spain!


Cool picture of a bell tower taken by Rachel.


The Alhambra at night...Rachel and I tried finding a good vantage point to get the sunset, but we failed miserably...to compensate we found a hill above the city which gave us a great view of the palace. Pretty sweet.


Dude who sat across from me on the train ride home.


The Resop sisters on the following weekend when Rachel Came back to Germany.

And that's it...maybe sometime soon I'll write some more of the stories, but I wanted something to give you a taste of what my travels had been like.

Peace.

I think the picture of your brow mopping truly captures the angst that comes with having such bodacious brows to mop. (Thanks again, Dad.)
Your Rachel is a cutie! Yea bunk beds!

I'm touched and pleased that you remember the little history lesson I gave on La Alhambra! And also, if the other Rachel in your life thinks I'm cute after 36 hours of traveling, I think I like her even more than before:)
