La Alhambra






Today I visited the Alhambra, which is the famous palace built by the Arabs and then later conquered by the Catholics that overlooks the city.  It was truly amazing there.  I took so many pictures, and even though it was a cloudy day some of them turned out alright.  All day it looked like it would rain and then at the very end of our tour it started to downpour!  Unfortunately I didn't bring a jacket or an umbrella, and I had about a 25 minute walk back to my apartment.  I don't think I have ever been so soaked before in my life.  But it was definitely something that I will never forget.  I hope you enjoy the pictures...

On the bright side though, Halee and I got to celebrate our host sister's birthday when we got back.  We ate some delicious chocolate cake from a local bakery.  Happy 16th birthday Claudia!
