Granada Cathedral

This evening I visited the Cathedral in Granada, very large and very pretty...you know the Catholics...go big or go home???

Granada

The most famous site in Granada is the Alhambra. It is a beautiful place, I spent almost the whole day today touring the palace, courtyards and gardens...without a coat! Nice weather in the South of Spain:)

Morocco Lunch

The highlight of the tour was the lunch...her I am with a coke in Arabic and some awful wine I shared with the Spanish couple next to me.

Morocco

Yesterday I caught a boat to Morocco...yikes. One day (actually about 5 hours) in Morocco, is about 4 hours too much. The tour guide was fine, but when we were left to ¨shop¨on our own for 1 1/2 hours...lets just say Ive never felt so uncomfortable in my life...being run through the gauntlett of relentless street vendors and muslim men staring at me like I was a pork-chop was a little too much. So I latched on to a German couple to hang out with. It was an experience I wont forget...for sure.

Tarifa

I arrived in Tarifa the day before yesterday. I got here just in time to see the sunset. The mountains you see in the distance are in Africa.

Seville 2

This day I went on a hike with my friends Jim and his wife Jarmilla (an many new friends) in the mountains. I met people from Germany, Spain, Poland...and many more. It was a beautiful day...but we were tired...it was 15Kilometers. Afterwards we went to a TexMex bar where they were playing the Chargers/Patriots game (for Jim, who is from the states). The place was full of American students, and I kept thinking to myself---am I in Spain???

Seville

Seville is a really beautiful place, many of the buildings and fountains on the plaza in KC were inspired by things in Seville. Here is the Cathedral...does this Giralda tower look familliar?

We also went to see a flaminco show...fantastic.
