I remember the deaf Flamenco dancers... Lovely shot! I remember when my mother and I visited the Alhambra in April of 1983, we stood at this same spot and watched a group of deaf Flamenco dancers perform under the arches at the other end of the pool. Their hearing teacher had a tape recorder playing the music that we and she could hear, and she guided the timing of the dancers with her hands, conducting them. It was beautiful and, surprisingly, not at all surreal. They were very good! The Alhambra is a truly magical place.
Chocolate So you travel all the way to Spain and find chocolate. Congratulations, the Daniels "chocolate gene" still works. Sounds like you are having a great time. I read about some storms in Spain recently and was hoping you were not getting rained out. Looking forward to reading more about your trip.
have fun! You're going to have an awesome time, Nancy!
Geoff and I love the SW. Here are some links that we sent to my Aunt Marsha from our adventures down there:
