The Rain in Spain

We have arrived safely in Paris, but Spain deserves one more post. And here it is.



We were served these two coffees in Madrid. And we didn't even tell the waiter it was our honeymoon. We're saving that line for the person at check-in when we fly back to Austin. Justin's hoping it will get us an upgrade to first class.



Back in Granada, here is El Alhambra with the original Sierra Nevadas in the background (rather than the ones in California).



Again, El Alhambra. Those of you following along will remember that El Alhambra was originally built by Muslims who ruled over this region during the 1200-1400s, but this photo shows a church in the middle of the structure. The church was added later when Christians regained control of Spain.



Madrid is a beautiful city, but unlike some of the other places we visited, there were relatively few sights to see. It does, however, have several incredible museums, like this one pictured above, which includes many amazing pieces of art. A few of our favorites included pieces by Goya and Raphael. Here, in front of the museum, is a statue of Diego Velazquez, a well-known Spanish painter whose most famous works are displayed inside.



We also visited Madrid's museum of modern art, which houses Picasso's Guernica along with many other works by Spanish artists such as Joan Miro.



And so, with the sun setting on our time in Spain, we head to Paris for the last part of our journey. We look forward to sharing more of our adventures with you!
