Through the Hills of Andalucia

August 29, 2011
We woke up and went to the piazza for breakfast.  Churros in hot chocolate, a great beginning to my first full day.  From there we headed to Alhambra, a historic place in Granada.  It was fantastic.  All of the old palaces and buildings were still in tact.  The details in the walls and ceilings were incredible.  And the view from the top of the palace was amazing, you could see the whole city, and all the buildings are white which makes for a beautiful view.  From there we drove south to the beach.  We drove through olive trees for olive oil the whole way down, simply amazing.  When we got to the beach house we went to the pool and I met Julio's sister and her family.  They have a new born baby girl and a little boy of 3.  They were very nice and spoke no English which was good because it forced me to speak in Spanish.  They all like the pool much more than the beach. Haha.  Then for dinner we had a traditional Spanish tortilla which is kind of like a fajita with potatoes.  It's so hot so its very hard to sleep but after such a long day I was fine.
