The Alhambra

Friday, 3-04-2015. Day 226

Pomegranates, Tesselations, and Washington Irving

Our hotel managed to secure a pair of adult admission tickets to the Alhambra (a UNESCO World Heritage Site, inscribed as Alhambra, Generalife and Albayzín, Granada), a fortress that stands on a hill high above the city of Granada. It dates back to the 12th century when the area was ruled by Moorish emirs.

Exploring Bangkok

Exploring Bangkok

Thursday, 29-01-2015. Day 162. 

We learn a few things about Bangkok.  

On our first day we learned that Bangkok isn't really called Bangkok, that the city is hot and humid, and that negotiating taxi fares is a pain. We also experience our first Bangkok street scam—but don't take the bait.
