Granada





We visited Granada today. It was very lovely, the weather was great and the country fantastic to look at. The Alhambra, a moorish citadel and palace. When we arrived at the entrance they said the tickets had sold out. Too bad. We still walked, and walked, and walked all downhill I might add, to visit a very old Cathedral in the oldest part of town. In the center of town was a statue of Christopher Columbus presenting the Queen with his plan to discover a land far away. It was very lovely. We had a nice lunch, in the best of weather, I was actually getting warm. :) After lunch Jose thought we could catch a taxi back up the hill to our car, guess again, with the activities of Holy Week many roads were blocked off. So, we walked and walked and walked back up the hill to our car. I really did enjoy myself.
