For now, we are off on our Honeymoon. We arrived in Costa del Sol saturday night and since then have been lying on the beach (or by the pool, to switch things up) all day long. This is the most work we´ve done in a day... don´t expect a blog post from Costa del Sol. But stay tuned for stories from Morocco!

... Centro". Why is there so much graffiti on walls and buildings all over Europe? It’s a virus. Our room was on the top floor by itself, more like an attic, with a panoramic view over the tiled rooftops and a tub the size of PEI. I have a photo of me in there this afternoon trying to cool down…..a photo for another time…..!

We drifted about, exploring, the first afternoon ...

It was my first day in the Spanish conversation class. I am in the class with 6 others with various skill levels(most are high).

I felt a little uneasy as I wasn't able to communicate my thoughts I'd answers to the questions. I hope it improves as the week progresses.

... driving of the A3 which was far more powerful than the space age SmartCar or other cars we had rented along the way. We raced the sun across one third of Spain into the mountains and up to the once small city of Granada. It was Jeff's third visit here, and he marveled at how much it had grown in the last twenty years as we made our way into the center. The center though still remains the most charming of places. Its charm was accentuated by our very ...

... and yet the thing that I see clearest in my memory is still my walk through the Alhambra. Meals like churros and chocolate, delicious tapas, or even lamb kidneys (which are not as bad as they sound) couldn't take away the haze that the Alhambra covered the rest of my memories with.

... stay cool and basked in the sun in the winter to find warmth. From the courtyard, we wandered into the most magnificant chamber of all: the Lion's Courtyard. The courtyard is a masterpeice in Andalusian design, art, and architecture. Delicate marble columns inscribed with Koranic verses encircled the rectangular courtyard, while sitting in the center was a large circular fountain supported by twelve carved lions. The fountain was supported by four small waterways ...
