oh so pretty. I feel pretty, and witty, and...
Okay, enough of that indulgence! My point is, it´s been all about prettiness for the past 24 hours. Though traveling frugally is still the name of the game (the dollar´s value against the euro makes me hyperventilate regularly), minor indulgences are always in order. When else will I have an opportunity to bathe in authentic Arab baths? Two hours of soaking was wonderful medicine for my aching legs.
This morning, I wandered through the gardens of a 14th century palace. It was easy to get lost in the beauty. Imagine the stories those fountains could tell. It is reputed that the discovery of America was discussed here. I´m certain that´s only the beginning.
Leaving Cordoba, I´m now in Granada, which is nestled into the base of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. They are snow-capped even though the weather below is always around 28 degrees C. Vineyards and olive tree farms surround us. Arab influence is even more prevalent here than in Cordoba.
