Two days after my parents got here we headed to Granada for 2 days--it was FABULOUS!! I felt a little bit bad for my parents--they had flown in Sunday night and had a crazy long flight and then got here to find there luggage had been lost and had NO idea where it was. So Monday, after sleeping in and getting switched to the time change, we headed out to go shopping for at least one new outfit and then Tuesday we left--luckily when we got back Wednesday night there luggage had been delivered. Granada is about 4 hours away from us and is a big college town--however the most famous thing it is famous for is ALHAMBRA (next post is all about alhambra)!! We spent the first day walking around town and it was so charming. The most interesting thing we saw, is there is a huge cathedral in the center of town and it is where King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella are buried. It was fascinating to see their sarcophaguses and then go underneath and see the actual coffin. Sorry--no pictures were allowed, but it was so interesting. I remember learning all about Christopher Columbus and Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand so it has been fascinating to see where such important moments in history have taken place.
