Granada

Finally, the Alhambra! What a delight. Our 3 ½ hour tour went by in a flash. We walked through the palace and over to the summer house/gardens, Generalife (not general life, but hen-er-uh-lee-fay). It's no wonder this place is the stuff of myth and legend!




The carvings were so deep!

Just a sample of the fabulous tile designs.

Our second dance night featuring the gypsies in the caves. Yes, we really went to a cave house. I couldn't tell the difference between this and the flamenco but Felix (our tour director) said it was more improvisational and passionate. It was pretty exciting and Bek even got up and danced!
This dancer reminded me so much of Callie Nall!

Leigh, my dear friend - you are awesome! For one, I wasn't aware that you were going on such a wonderful trip, and two, you do have a talent for picture taking! These pics are fabulous! I just love you to pieces and hope we can catch up again soon; I'm sure you missed little Juliet while you were away, and vice versa!
