Feeling short, standing tall

The ant's eye view of the Monteverde Natural Preserve. Here I am. Waiting for you.

Peek- A- Boo



I admit to my addiction to El Alhambra.



3 days away from home and being in your arms again.

View from the bus window...


After eliminating the funny blue tint of my bus seat window, I managed to salvage this shot of the mountain. It's calling me to climb it and take a picture from the top, but I don't think my little lungs would let me.

In the far off distance...


Before we went to watch flamenco in the caves, we had a guided night tour of El AlbaicĂ­n, the Muslim neighborhood, which means, your house, in Arabic. We also got the chance to take shots of El Alhambra from a romantic ledge. I know someone would have had a field night with this one.

Wrong Side Up?



Another shot from El Alhambra, which I couldn't get enough of...Here's a reflection of the facade in one of the various fountains. Hope I get to come back here again someday.

Way Overhead


Watch out! Ceiling made to imitate stalactites. We learned that Muslims weren't allowed to make statues of animals or people for fear of not reaching paradise, with their souls captured and imprisoned on Earth. They worked with geometric and nature's shapes instead. Did I mention I love El Alhambra?

El Alhambra


We went to El Alhambra in Granada today. It pretty much blew my mind. I wish I could take this home and put it in my backyard One week from being home.
