Finally, some pictures...

Clicking on the pictures should make them bigger...


My favorite plaza, La Plaza Nueva; it's not actually that new - it was built by the Catholic Kings in the 15th century.


This is my apartment - I'm up there on the thrid floor, far-right balcony. Right across the street is a family's livingroom, and somewhere some man needs to see an ENT about his mucous issues...


My coffee place, even though they get a bit uppity when I sit at a table outside alone. Starbucks this ain't.


The Alhambra, the most visited tourist site in Spain and absolutely stunning in person. It was a Moorish palace/walled city later taken over by Christians, and the setting for some Washington Irving legends.


The city of Granada.


The beach at Almuñécar. It was pretty amazing swimming in the Mediterranean in front of a castle, before I vomited up my soup on the beach. It was worth it.


This is the Carrera de Genil, named after one of the rivers that flows through Granada. At the end of the street, you can just make out the newly constructed Fountain of Pomegranates, Granada's namesake. It's not the fastest way home for me, but it's flanked by fountains, and it's very park-like. The fruit is all over the city, from actual fruit on the trees, to the fountain, to mosaic work, and the little iron bars that stop cars from driving up on the sidewalks.
