WELCOME

This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet. We will share stories about people and places we have encountered from around the United States, Ireland, Scotland, England, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada, Spain, Mexico, The Vatican, The Netherlands, Belgium, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and more. This is not a travelogue -- we leave that to Rick Steves -- this is a collection of fragments in the journey of life.

The Alhambra, Granada Spain: The Owners

        I have noted before that it is difficult to get tickets at the Alhambra on your own. It is best to get a guide. They hold most tickets. They will explain a good deal including the stay of Washington Irving, who was a long term resident.
        The experience is one that you will not forget and the town of Granada is wonderful in itself.
        About this photo. The Alhambra has cats like Gibraltar has apes. They are around to take care of things. The cats are well cared for and healthy. You will see them all around.
        As for Washington Irving, I read his book "Tales of the Alhambra" many years ago (and again before this trip) and it is worth reading before you your visit.
