highlights from Spain day 6

Road trip!  Granada!

Hello muddah, hello faddah
Here I am at Camp Granada
Camp is very entertaining
And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining.



Sorry - I hope you have that song stuck in your head all day long.  :)


Our first destination was of course some cafe so we could get a coffee.  However, it was Three Kings Day and nearly every store was closed!  Thankfully we found an amazing bakery that also served small toasted sandwiches and coffee.  Maddie and I of course had our noses glued to the pastry window and picked out 6 treats to share with the group.

The old people (Mom and Roger) along with the really old people (GMa and GPa) were considering taking a bus tour of Granada, so us young and beautiful people took off to explore Granada on our own.

We found a cathedral...dirka.  How come when people visit the US they don't have to stop at every.single church they see?

Ok, the white villages were cool, but I love this building!

A quick beer stop and we headed up to the Alahambra.  Clearly you all know by now that I am a lover of detail and not always the big picture - so get ready for a ton of detail shots here.  The Alahambra was spectacular and I ended up taking about 374 photos - mostly of individual tiles.

This is part of a wall, a huge wall.  Check out that carving!

I would die to have a floor like this!

Another series of jumping photos...just to piss Maddie off.

Look - a good one!

Blurry.

And this is why you don't do jumping photos just to piss off your sister.  My necklace flopped up and hit my hard in the tooth.  A terrible photo that I love! :)

Another 2 hour dive home...and Mom and Roger treated us to some pizza and beer.  Pretty good ending to a long, but fun, day.
