Granada!

Granada.... such a cool city.  La Alhambra, you  know?  I had seen the pictures and had the desire to go.  Lets just say it didn't disappoint.
The gardens, incredible.  If I could choose anywhere to live it would be in an Arab palace.
El patio de los leones.  Interesting fact: the Koran counsels Muslims to not have images because it can lead to idolatry.  But its just a counsel.  Muslims have taken it as hard doctrine as a way to distance themselves from other religions.
 

Fun little pic post visit.
The view at night.  Pretty breathtaking.

  1. Cecily- you are so wonderful. I admire you. You are so happy, fun loving and beautiful. Doing your own thing in this big old world and seemingly do not mind about what everyone else is doing or what everyone else thinks you SHOULD be doing. You are inspiring. Love from America.
