"Grenadea!" -Bill "No, Bill It's Granada." - Pete

GRANADA

The guys (Courtney's one of the guys on this trip) and I went into this trip hearing good things, but wondering if it was going to live up to the rep it was getting from those who had already gone there. Well, Granada was sick! We had fun the minute we stepped off the bus. We arrived at 8:40 and had some catching up to do with all our friends that were already there. They already had walked around the city, which is somewhat small, but still. This entire blog will basically be about the Alhambra. The Alhambra in Madrid is the Muslim castle in Granada. As everyone knows, Spain was largely Muslim in the Dark Ages and still has some Muslim roots.

Typical Pete smile. They look good together though, huh? I've been forcing the issue the entire trip with these two being together. Always provides Bill and I with a good laugh when Pete freaks out and tells me to quit making it awkward...I don't know what he's talking about.

Courtney! She's been official tagged as our "bro." This picture is at the Alhambra with the background of the city in it.

The courtyard in the Alhambra with Pete ruining my photo, Courts fine.

The outside of the building where the above picture was taken. If you look really close in the doorway you can see the pillars. It was a pretty cool building with like three different museums in it. There will be a link at the end of this entry to my Facebook album with the rest of the 85 pictures I took.

The look out towers for the Alhambra. We didn't go up in them for some reason...

One of the multiple gardens within this huge place.

The view from our hostel in Granada. We were conveniently placed right next to an Irish pub called Hannigans and Sons. 

SLU took over Granada and the Hannigan and Sons. Great time for sure.

WITH THE BROS 

Here is the group at the hot springs!!

Granada was a really fun time. We saw one of the most popular places in Madrid, Alhambra, and were even able to go to the hot springs. The hot springs were the best part of the weekend because it was so cold this weekend and it was nice to feel warm for three hours.
