So, here are a bunch of random pictures including some from the bullfight. The rest are collections from Granada since I realized I haven't really shown you much of Granada besides the Alhambra, and there is so much more to it than that!!! Once again, they are all very randomly ordered, sorry I'm not very good at that!!! I'll try to explain everything, if you have questions or want to know more, write your questions in a comment or email me at morsed01@luther.edu
So we're gonna start with some pics of graffiti here in Granada, which I told my friend I would add. You'd be surprised how much there is in the city, even on monumental buildings. I also recently learned that there is a graffiti artist from Granada who is very famous, he has work all over Spain, Europe and even some in the states, I think!!! So that's cool. I believe his name is the Artist's son...hijo del artista...perhaps!

This is Meg's friend, Amanda, who's studying in France...this wall is up by the Alhambra.




This is one my favorites. This may very well be by the famous guy. I'll have to take some more pics of some of his work! This wall is right next to the cathedral pictured below.

This is the cathedral in Granada-an everyday sight for me!

Semana Santa is coming up soon-Easter week-so they are beginning their practices for the religious processions. We watched a group of men carry this out of the church. Can't wait to see the actual processions!

This is a pic I took on a rainy day in Granada. I know it's blurry, but I really like it! The light in the background is a fountain in a plaza. I walk through this wide sidewalk everyday on my way to class.

This is one of the many many plazas in Granada. Most of them have a beautiful fountain in the middle.

A typical steep street in Granada. This is right by my program's office and heads toward the Alhambra.

This is just a pretty patio of someone's house that I took a stalker picture of. This is very typical in Spain-a beautiful patio that is usually hidden by a tall wall.

This is me inside the Sacramonte wall. This wall is a along the ridge of a hill and right below it on the hillside are many caves where hippies and gypsies reside. Very interesting!

Can you spot the tourists? This is a group of people listening to a gypsie/hippie band playing by some little tea shops. I love that I don't feel like a tourist here anymore-besides the blonde hair and blue eyes thing that kind of gives it away...

This is the view of the Alhambra from up in the caves.

More people practicing for the parades-this is more typical-a much less elaborate aparatus with weights on top of it. All of the men wear back braces and knee pads. They carry these things for miles during Semana Santa and it all has to be very coordinated, especially on the hills!
*Now we jump to the bullfight-this was in a small suburb of Granada in a pop-up bullring. An amature fight with smaller bulls. I learned so much about the whole "art" of it all. It's a very very interesting tradition. I would love to talk about it if anyone wants to know more!

This was the first bull-coming into the ring-first contact with people-he's pretty riled(sp?) up.

This guy is being charged-one guy had to literally flip over the side so as not to get rammed.

This guy is from Granada! He was the best torero out there...he put on a good show.

This is kind of a creepy and ironic picture-a bull in a bulldozer. Gross, but that's how it's done.

Way out of order-here is the group that we were listening to by the tea joints. Very entertaining! There's also some sweet art behind them!

It was Camille's 21st birthday last week! We're pretty excited. This picture doesn't show much, just the inside of one of the billions of bars where we drink sangria and tinto de verano.

We finally made it to a different club besides Granada 10! This is Katie, Felix, and Crystal inside Cambodio-a club that is up in the hills and has a glass wall overlooking the Alhambra.

More bullfighting-this was a cute little boy dressed as a torero-complete with the pink tights-he got the tail from the Granadine torero! That's a big deal!

Pep bands at a bullfight?!? I think so! It's really neat-they play different types of songs during the actual fight. I'm sure there is more meaning behind the different songs-but I haven't learned about that yet!

This is the beginning of the whole event-the whole "team" entering the ring.
Well, that's it for now-I hope you enjoyed my mix of pics! Questions, comments, problems...give em to me!

dear eda, i have 3 things as well
1. thanks for the graffiti pictures
2. that picture of the group outside the tea joints is really cool
3. if you look really close at that same picture, on the right side, there is an metal instrument that looks like a UFO - it's called a hang and it's the most beautiful thing i've ever heard. IF YOU BUY ME ONE I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER. and of course, I'd pay you back. no but for real, find one, and i'll buy it from you - no joke. it might be kind of hard to find one, so if you see someone playing it again, ask them where to find one maybe, so at least i'll know where to look
