July 3, 2015 - Grananda

Since we called it an early night last night we were well rested to get out early this morning.
Roger and I walked around close to the hotel just to see what was around.
The cafes are all set up and ready for customers.

The streets are quiet.  Now mind you this isn't 6:00 in the morning but more like 8:30.  Since people are out late into the evenings it seems that mornings are pretty quiet.


They main mode of easy transportation in this city is a scooter or motorcycle.

At least we know what street we are on.  This is on the sidewalk.
In Granada you do not take a hop-on hop-off bus you take a hop-on hop-off train.










Roger had to visit Dunkin Donuts to get an iced-coffee.
We like how they shade the walking streets.  I guess that keeps the shoppers shopping even when it gets hot.



We saw more Flamenco dancing at this street performance than we did in the show that we paid for.
The girls were easier on our ears also.
Roger and I left Elaine and Fred to head up the other side of the hill from the Alhambra so that we could see it all lit up at night.  Instead of sitting in the park like we planned to do we ate dinner at a nice little restaurant with a great view.
The pictures really do not do it justice.  It is one of those you have to be here moments.

We had taken the train up but walked back down.
The roads are rock and very uneven.

I loved all the lights in this shop.
It is a good thing that I had not had this ice-cream the first day we were here or I would have had it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  My favorite flavor while in Europe is hazelnut, which is called avellana in Spain.
