• Alhambra

  So As I mentioned before, the Albayzin is the section of granada wherein the ALhambra is located. Filled with hills and caves and gypsies and whatnot. The Alhambra consists of numerous buildings, like the palace of Justice, court of the lions, and other equally cool names. Why dont we do that with architecture anymore? Library of the damned, hospital of the healing touch? Anyway
  
  Here is one shot of the Albayzin Quarter, with some of the Alhambra on the left side
  
  
  Because what would YOU do with a cannon?

  
  Some of the original colors of the Alhambra

  
  Moorish Ruler, The Josh

  
  Obligatory “hold the camera away from my head even when there are people to take my pic” pic
  
  This one has got to be my favorite shot of the Alhambra. I even have a painting of it in my room.

  
  Is anyone else thnking of the prince of persia games?

  And there I am, the Prince himself
  
  Of course, what you have seen is onyl a small fraction of the Alhambra, but lets take a brief trip down to the Albayzin so we can get good shots of the Fortress tonite

  
  How bazaar!

  
  SQUARE DONUTS! WHat madness is this?
  
  Brian Showing us his guts
  
  The nuns of this convent are not allowed to see anyone, so to make their living, they bake sweets and rotate them through this window
  
  After a fresh dinner of authentic paella and cherries, the sun has gone down and we can see the Alhambra exterior in all its glory
   
  Yes there is one purposely out of focus pic…lets call it my artistic shot

  On the morrow, it is back to madrid for one more day trip
