Lisboa Granada

... Sounds funny eating Thai food in Spain. But, it was one of the best meals.. The couple is from Holland and use only fresh ingredients. It was by far the most flavorable food we've had. For the most part the Spanish food consists of overcooked, heavy meat (lamb, pork), boiled potatoes, and soggy vegetables, The pan is dry and mostly served cold. So, this was a treat. Food with flavor. I think our search for good food is paying off...2 nights in a row.

... we're told in the months of july/august and sometimes september this place is a zoo. Tons of people, no parking. We're able to go to any restaurant and not wait for a table. It's fantastic! We found a great little playground on the beach and right next to a restaurant with tables in the sand. Shae loved it. She played in the playground and dug in the sand for 2 hours. We headed back to the house and then drove into Nerja (5 min car drive ...

There is a first time for everything and today I decided to go to the toilet off a cliff. Although the Siera Nevada mountain range is argueably the most beautiful place we have been its hard to appreciate it when you have to cycle uphill in 40 degree heat for hours. I find the best way to push yourself through it is to simply swear loudly for ...

Friday July 10

Today was a road trip day. Off to the airport to collect our car, a Ford, or "Fix Or Repair Daily". Actually, ours did a very nice job...

We drove to the coast, to the what-I-thought-was-the-small-village called Nerja. I'd read it has special caves with stalagtite & stalagmite formations, kind of like the Calsbad Caverns in New Mexico. In fact, once you ...

... a heavenly paradise on earth. More than just a palace; the Alhambra is like a small city with vast gardens, plazas, homes and winding streets covering the rolling expanses of the steep peaks overlooking the town of Granada below, with spectacular views of the surrounding 10,000 ft. Sierra Nevada mountains. Two days in the steep hills of Granada will allow us plenty of ...

My stiff, uncomfortable bed is keeping me from a good nights rest. I
keep thinking that this is only temporary and I will get use to it.



It was a pretty relaxing day. I think I'm fitting in well with the slower paced environment in Granada.



I walked to the school with a group of friends from the residence. It's about a 20 minute ...

before i left on this trip, i spoke with several people back home who made the (serious) suggestion that i should go to the tanning bed and dye my hair black before leaving for egypt.  others recommended that i sew a patch with the canadian flag onto my backpack.  first of all, i think that getting a tan and dying my hair black would make me look more like an absurd american clown than an egyptian (as an alternative to the clown costume, perhaps ...

... The book was such a huge hit that tourists began flocking to the site, and the Alhambra was restored to much of its former glory as a result. Today, the palace complex is a dizzying series of spectacularly elaborate Arabic-influenced rooms, pillared courtyards and fountain-filled gardens.  Intricate plaster work and bright geometric tiles contrast with placid pools and graceful arches and cool shady rooms open onto terraces with spectacular views out over ...

... was absolutely hilarious. I didn't get to say goodbye to him though, no one did. He just kind of dissapeared. There are so many other people I met and befriended, but those listed are the people that really touched me. We all shared so many deep conversations with each other. We talked about our fears, our dreams, our desires, our problems...complications back home, why we were traveling, our favorite things thus far, our major ****up stories. I shared my fear about law ...
