Hola de nuevo, This is my last blog entry about my trip with my parents. We left Ronda at noon on Tuesday and arrived in Granada around 3 pm. We were staying in a hotel up on the hill near to where the Alhambra is located. As usual it took awhile to park the car and we had a late lunch at a restaurant near our hotel. After resting for a bit we left the hotel around 6:30 and took a bus down to ... Read Full Entry

What a wonderful experience...except for the rehydrated salted cod with orange slices! :/ I went to the Alhambra in high school and I have a very similar picture to the last one on the page! I remember all of the gardens and intricate tiling and Moorish influence. We spent three weeks in Spain, visiting Lorca, Madrid, Cordoba, Granada, Sevilla, Segovia, La Costa del Sol, Valencia, Barcelona. I really loved the paella de mariscos on the coast. Have you crossed the Strait of Gibraltar and visited Morocco? We took a hydrofoil across and I got deathly sea sick on the choppy water. It was worth the sickness b/c Morocco was so cool. It looks like you had an awesome time with your family. I bet you're ready to bake chocolate chip cookies at home, or eat some of the cookies Bryce makes. Has he visited you, too? What's the weather like now? I'll make sure it's nice and warm here for your return! Hasta manana! Ashley

How exciting!
Dear Dana, What a delight to read your blog, and now, your travels with your Mom and Dad through southern Spain. Mart and I loved it. In the 1970's we did a similar trip with my Mom and Dad. Seeing your photos brought back lots of memories. Someday let us tell you the story of parking outside the Alhambra. Let me know your e-mail address, and I'll share ours from this winter -- Jordan, Egypt, Florence and London. Much Love, Dottie an Mart
