If you could get lost by yourself anywhere in the world where would it be? Would it be in the Alhambra in Spain? Well, that's where I chose. Explanation: We had about 10 minutes and then we were going to meet up and head out. For some stupid reason I decided to go off by myself to see part of the gardens that I had missed. I headed back to find the group but by that time everyone had left. I thought I knew my way back to the bus, but it turned out that I didn't. Picture me sprinting around this beautiful place for the next 20 minutes asking anyone who looked official where the parking for the buses were. I got some good Spanish practice saying "Estoy perdido. Estoy buscando a mi grupo y autobús." With a little bit of prayer I finally found the bus.
This might be the most creative ceiling I've ever seen.
What a job it would be to trim these hedges.
Oh Charles!
The Alhambra has a magnificent view of Granada.
A favorite past time of the servants: racing rabbits in the mazes of the Alhambra. (?)
Another spectacular view from a tower.
There is hardly a corner of the Alhambra without sight or sound of running water.
Royal pet.
Moorish carvings everywhere.

That's it! I'm going to Spain. There's a very famous classical guitar piece called Recuerdos de la Alhambra by my favorite guitar composer. My very own classical guitar that I've had for years is an Alhambra guitarra- hand made in Alhambra. Love it... Have lots of fun!
