Wow its May! I have just a little over 1 week left in Sevilla...I don't know how this happened, and I can't really believe that I'm actually going to be able to go home.
This past weekend I went to Granada-a city about 3 hours east of Sevilla-to see La Alhambra. Its a HUGE palace/fortress with incredible architecture and decoration. We also went up into the Sierra Nevada mountains one day and hiked around. Since its May, and its been the lows in Sevilla have been in the 80s, we really only packed shorts and t-shirts for the weekend. We got to the bus station Saturday morning to catch the bus up the mountain and there were people with snowboards and winter coats...there was still snow at the top!

We were a little bit chilly, and therefore didn't really realize the nice sun burns we were receiving while we wandered around...but the views were truly amazing! We were in the clouds!
