final andalucia leg and back to lisbon

we made it to granada just in time for the money shot at the top of mirador de san nicolas. 

the next morning would be the alhambra, which i try to limit my pictures as it really is something you have to behold in person.

after a day in granada it was back to lisbon to finish off our trip. we hit up two museums and a palace.

happy consumption at museu colecção berardo

be sure to check out angela's blog for a more detailed log of our trip. she's got way better pictures. i think this trip has made me realize i should just use my iphone as my camera. it's so much better than my point and shoot.

lisbon redux

i was in portugal 4 years ago, but didn't really get to explore lisbon.  when angela and i were trying to plan our next rendezvous, she'd suggested lisbon and i was game. we would start and end in portugal but the bulk of our trip would be trekking about andalucia. here's day one in lisbon.
