New friends in familiar places

Days after Monica and I met our new friend Nils, he met up with us in Granada! (If you are already lost on what I am talking about, I will direct you to the Ireland post...and if you wish to save a couple of minutes, scroll to when I begin talking about Cork) (photos are coming soon, I swear!)
On his holidays, he was planning on traveling through Spain as it were. So, before he met up with his travel buddy, he camped in Granada for a couple of nights. We took him to tapas and brought him to the mirador up in the Albayzin. The mirador is one the best spots, if not the best and most famous spot, to see La Alhambra.The famous photos from this mirador look somewhat like:



The next exciting event of Granada was the bullfight.



At first, I was hesitant about going, but once there, the feeling of the crowd is contagious. I don't think I will go to another one, but I am glad I went to a real Spanish bullfight. The whole experience, though, made me really philosophical about life and death. I mean the point of the fight is to kill the bull, but watching it right there makes you realize that the line between life and death is a fine one.


Soon to be posted, my vacation in Barcelona with Amanda. 
To leave you all, here is a photo that shows the coming Spring Granada!
