Spain Part One

Finally after being apart for almost four months (109 days to be exact) Sean and I were able to be reunited! We decided to meet half way between the US and UAE in Spain for a babymoon. Getting off the plane and seeing Sean was such a happy moment. He was so excited I think he forgot I was pregnant and squeezed me so tight that I had to remind him about baby Greenley.  He responded with a tender little pat on my now 4 month pregnant belly. We were back together and it felt right. Only then did I realize just how hard it had been to be apart. 

It was ten in the morning in Spain and so we went and rented a car and drove to Toledo, where we spent a few hours walking around and taking in the charm. After that we were pretty tired and decided to head down to Granada - where we were staying. We had been gifted a week stay by Sean's father and new in-laws as they were not able to use the timeshare they had for 2015. 

Sean grew a beard while we were apart. I I like it a lot!
Though I did eventually ask him to trim it up a bit. 

The next day we woke up and drove to Granada to see the palace Alhambra. I had been looking forward to this tour for a long time. I have always loved Moorish/Arabic design. So I was excited to see a palace full of it. I was not disappointed. It was gorgeous.  

The view of Granada Alhambra

The gardens were gorgeous. If they were this amazing in the winter,
I can only imagine what  they'd be like in spring. 

Oh what it would be like to live here. If I had unlimited money to design my own palace,
I would definitely steal a few ideas from Alhambra 

Such intricate design combined with those views - my idea of heaven. 

The jewel toned tiles were a nice touch

I have always dreamed of having a central courtyard in my house!

After our tour in Alhambra, we walked through Granada, got something to eat and then decided to go on a self-guided graffiti tour that was mapped out in our tour book. It was a very neat and gave us a great opportunity to wander  the streets of Granada in a way we wouldn't have otherwise. It is a charming and beautiful city. Here are some highlights: 

The most famous graffiti artist in Granada is Hijo de la Pintura.
 Its amazing that he did this with a spray-paint can.
