The most beautiful place in the world.

"Dale limosna mujer, que no hay en la vida nada como la pena de ser ciego en Granada"

 I started writing this about the Alhambra on September 27th! Needless to say, I have been terribly busy ever since! The Alhambra was amazing and the view of the city of Granada from the Alhambra was out of this world! This quote above roughly translates as "Give me a tip woman, because there is no worse penalty in life than to be blind in Granada"

This is one of the many beautiful views of the city of Granada from the Alhambra. The view was surreal. Anyways, we left for the Alhambra around one and didn't return home until about eight! We walked around ALL day! Yikes! There was so much to see at the Alhambra which translates from Arabic as "the red fortress", I think the guide had said it is known as "the red fortress" because the stone that it is made of is red stone (duhh...). Also, the Alhambra is where the kings used to live. It's sort of like a royal palace (I think!). It was a very cool/very long tour and our tour guide was pretty sweet. He spoke in Spanglish the whole time, it was pretty funny. I don't know if I really even remember much of what he said because he talked for SO long, sorry I couldn't give more information about the Alhambra. Sorry for the terrible post everyone, but at least it has beautiful pictures. Thanks for reading! I now have to post about Paris and Lagos, Portugal! eeeek. (:
