In Granada

So we took a 6 hour bus trip to Granada, which is in the South of Spain here.
The landscape on the trip was beautiful- lots of picturesque olive tree fields and mountains. We even got to watch "Pequena Miss Sunshine" on the ride.

Arrived at Granada and checked into a hostel that you don´t even need to leave: we have internet, satellite tv, rooftop terrace, bar, ping-pong, dinners made here, and more. It´s crazy-nice and only about $25 a night. Sweet!

Granada is nothing less than magical, that´s the only way I can describe it. This city was occupied by the Moors for centuries, so this place looks like Morocco everywhere- the intracacies of the decoration is unbelievable! I think I´ll send photos instead of trying to explain it. Good idea?

Been having some amazing experiences just walking the labyrinth streets and getting lost. We were in the middle of a picture-perfect neighborhood the other afternoon and sat on the bench to enjoy an amazing jar of Spanish olives eaten with a tomato eaten like an apple. Authentic experience, it was great!

And to save the best for last, I have a very special visitor in town- our very own Heather Parrish (my homegirl from Tx)! She has been traveling around SE Asia and other countries and decided to add Spain to her list of destinations! Surprise! So it´s been fun walking around the place with her too.

I feel like I am at a loss for words today. Have you ever tried to explain something inexplicable? That´s how I´m feeling. I think I´ll stick with photos. Soon to come!
