Description:  I’m pretty sure this is my favorite capture from my trip to Europe two years ago. Below is a synopsis of what I went through to get this picture.  If you are interested in the story from the entire day, you can find the story here. After a long day of hiking around Granada […]

Description:  At the end of last year, almost one year ago, I took a trip to Europe.  While I was in Spain, I made sure I attended a Flamenco show. This image was created at Jardines de Zoraya in Granada, Spain.  Though not a very big show (only one dancer, one guitarist, and a singer), […]

December 21 – Traveling again Once again, I packed my bags up and checked out of yet another hotel. Jeff’s flight was 30 minutes before mine, so he left the hotel a bit earlier. I found my way to the bus to get me to the airport. Upon arrival at about 9:30am, the international terminal […]

December 20 – Barcelona Day Three This morning, Jeff and I wanted to get some laundry done. I preferred having a it done by a service so we wouldn’t have to sit around waiting for it, but the hotel’s prices were ridiculous and we couldn’t find another place near by. With that, we ended up […]

December 19 – The Antoni Gaudi Tour During past trips, I’ve typically taken the time to take a step back and look at the places I visit. I haven’t done much of that yet, so I thought I would do that before jumping into what I did today. First off, I am extremely impressed with […]

December 18 – Barcelona We decided to be lazy for once and slept in until 10:00, looked at the guide books a bit and then hit the Internet cafe, which was actually more like a Kinko’s with a few computers for Internet access. I had quite an ordeal getting access. Jeff went before I left […]

December 17 – Alhambra and off to Barcelona Today we had reservations to visit Alhambra. We woke up around 8:30am and headed out the door around 9:15, caught a taxi and was on our way. We spent a good 4+ hours visiting the different structures and parts of Alhambra. We had a reserved time to […]

December 16 – Granada We ended up sleeping in a bit later then we expected and didn’t get out of our room until after 11:30am. The drive the day before wiped us out and the hotel room was extremely comfortable and quite. Once we made it out the door, the city of Granada was ours […]

December 15 – Haven’t You Always Wanted A Monkey? Today we departed Seville, but without first grabbing a chocolate croissant for breakfast. Before leaving, I checked on our car rental paper work and noticed we were suppose to pick up the car at the airport (as opposed to the train station which I thought was […]

December 14 – Seville Jeff and I got up around 10am, planned our day roughly along with two of the other occupants in our room, 2 German ladies. I was a bit hungry, so we left and grabbed a chocolate croissant from a place right outside our hostel. As we left, the 2 German ladies […]

December 13 – More Madrid and off to Seville We slept in a bit till 10am, started packing a bit and then grabbed breakfast from Vips on recommendation from the front desk. Vips is actually half convenience store, half restaurant. The breakfast was still good and just what I was looking for to start my […]

December 12 – Welcome to Madrid We got up around 9am this morning and had breakfast at the hotel. When I asked the lady at the front desk where to get breakfast, she said, “Here, we have breakfast included.” I took that to mean it was included in the price of the room and complimentary…that […]
