On the edge of the world!

Picture from Sangra...quite literally on the edge of the world! Look at a map of Portugal, and its on the southwesternmost tip...and by default, the corner of all of Europe. Quite cool.

So we left Spain today! It was a really really beautiful country:

Granada was awesome...the Alhambra (no, not the city in LA) was gorgeous! The Nasrid palace in particular was spectacular, a combination of islamic/moorish styles with Spanish styles, with ornate carvings and mosaics.

Sevilla was my favorite Spanish city. Its got a very quaint downtown with lots of hidden cobblestone alleyways...its really cool to wander in and just get lost and immersed in everything. Plus its got a really cool looking cathedral that towers over the city.

Oh man, as of right now, we have exactly one more week left!!!
