while in granada we toured the alhambra. it is a palace and fortress built in the 10th century while the rest of europe was burning witches and building outhouses. the alhambra is on a hill near a ski resort in the sierra nevadas, which i initially thought was a little joke our guide book told us. it was 100 degrees when we were there. this place has been occupied, and added onto, by everyone from a muslim sultan to christian conquistadors. i absolutely loved the moorish architecture and the intricate details of arabic script.
and i sorta felt like we were in an agatha christie mystery movie, you know?

Great pics! Laura looks like a movie star and the intricate artwork everywhere is wonderful. I can kind of get the Agatha Christie mystery movie. Was kind of worried. Glad you came home safe and sound!
