We visited La Alhambra. Then we went to La Capilla Real and the Cathedral there in Granada. It was the largest Cathedral I have ever seen!! My, oh my, it was beautiful!
After we went to La Alhambra, we came down a street for lunch. It was a place where I think some of the gypsies from the neighborhood worked. There was a lady who would walk up to you, hand you a piece of Rosemary, tell you your fortune, and then try to charge you money for it. The shop keepers, one in particular, made me generally uncomfortable.
I learned that Granada is named that because of pomegranites. That is what the word means. I found it to be very interesting.
From La Alhambra we were able to see so much of the city that it was incredible. We could see the homes and the gypsy neighborhood and so many things. It was breathtaking and beautiful.
After we got back, I walked from the Plaza de Las Batallas to home. I decided to stop and use the pay phone to call Mom and Dad. I went from having a whole lot of minutes to having not many remaining on my card.
Tomorrow is class and sightseeing; the day after is the same. This weekend we go to Madrid. I am excited about that!
¡Chao for now!
