Cordoba & Granada

This weekend I had a trip with my program. We spent Friday afternoon in Cordoba. We visited the mosque turned Catholic church, and walked around the old neighborhoods. There were some very pretty areas with flowers hanging.

Friday night we arrived in Granada and went to a flamenco show in a cave. There we're two different performances and it was fun to see. The way they move their feet still amazes me!
Saturday we visited the Alhambra. The gardens were gorgeous. Lots of flowers and the views of the city were beautiful. We then toured the palace. It was so detailed and intricate. I wasn't as amazed by it because the alcazar in Sevilla has the same style architecture, but I enjoyed seeing it.
Friday afternoon we had free time

Lanae and I

Rachel, lanae, Allyson, Ashley, and I went to the Moroccan street. They have lots from Morocco. It was nice to be able to look at the items without the crazy Moroccan atmosphere.

Saturday night Lanae and I went to the cave bar with a few other friends. We had to walk up a big hill, but the view of the Alhambra was spectacular.

Sunday was rainy and cold. We went on a short tour of the chapel, then found a tea place to sit for a few hours. It even started hailing at one point! When it was time to leave everyone was happy to get back on the warm bus.
