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 and finally [...]

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), it [...]

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 was [...]

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 doing [...]

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 Spain’s metro [...]

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 the [...]

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 see Placio [...]

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 to explore. [...]

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 the [...]

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 happened [...]

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 day. [...]

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 wasn’t [...]
