End of Days

I know I haven't updated for a while, but that is mainly because I am trying to enjoy my last weeks in Granada as much as possible. I am still having great fun over here with Dana. We kind of created a routine that never seems to become boring... We eat lots of tapas, enjoy every ray of sun, walk a lot, go shopping, etc., etc. Tonight we are going to see a Flamenco show, something that I've been wanting to do for a long time. Only 5 days to go and then it is time to pack our bags and go back to Holland... I'll definitely miss this place a lot. Life here is so relaxing, the weather is usually wonderful and the city is still as entertaining and gorgeous as the first time I came here... I really hope I can return here one day and live in Andalusia for a longer period of time. I am in love with this place... To all you people who checked this website regularly: thanks! I know I'll see some of you guys very soon in Groningen/Amsterdam/Sneek... To the international visitors: I am not sure, but I am thinking about starting a new website when I am back in Groningen.. You will hear more about it soon! Until then: Buen Suerte y Buenos Noches!

A Nice Compromise


I love hiking. Dana doesn't. Well, at least not as much as me. So it takes some effort to make her climb hills every day. It turned out to be easier than I thought to convince her. Now we climb for an hour and then, on top of a hill, we sit down on a blanket, open a pack of wine, lay down in the sun and play poker. Me happy because we climbed, Dana happy because she gets a nice tan. Perfect... ;) Posted by Picasa

Dana checks out my house when we arrive in Granada and seems to be impressed. "It's that big!" Or does she think she can fly? Posted by Picasa


Find Dana in Dali's weird work of art.... Posted by Picasa

Sagrada Dana in front of Sagrada Familia. What an amazing building... Posted by Picasa


Instead of going straight to Granada, we decided to fly through Barcelona and pay our good friend Montse a visit. She was very busy with her exams, but it wasn't hard to convince her to party with us! After all, she is a MOAH girl... She showed us some beautiful places in Barcelona and took us to some nice bars and restaurants. Like this one on the picture: a Kebab restaurant were we had to take our shoes off and sit on the floor... Posted by Picasa
