Getting moved in

We have been in Winston now for a week and our apartment is slowly coming together. Every day we see a bit more "day light." :-)


The very cool doors to the stairway inside the building have counter weights



A look at the still empty living room / guest bedroom



The still empty master bedroom



We still have a bunch of boxes in the guest room, but not as many as pictured here



The master bedroom still needs pictures, otherwise it is good to go

Barack among a few fans

Barack Obama spoke in Berlin in front of crowd of over 200,000 people. How many other politicians can create that much enthusiasm and interest? Wow.

Granada

We spent the last 2 days of our honeymoon in Granada.

Granada is a charming smaller town with narrow streets



The Alhambra is looming above us



Our hotel in Granada was the Casa Morisca and we had a nice view from our room



Standing in line for a nice map of Granada



There were tons of scooters in Granada, even in front of the judicial building



Time for a relaxing brunch



Amy is making sure that we won't get lost



Another cute little street



The steep hike up to the Alhambra



The reward is a great view



More beautiful gardens



Looking down on the path where we came up



The castle part is quite massive



Honey moon indeed :-)



Beautiful details in the old palace



More details



Don't do that!



More beautiful gardens



We had nice breakfast here the last morning



On a shopping mission



Street vendors without permits are always ready to bolt should authorities arrive



We laughed about this sign



But when the taxi later took us through there and scraped both mirrors we know the warning was no joke. (the images is shot through the back window as we just left the super narrow tight spot)



The trip is over, but the honeymoon isn't.

Sevilla

From Lisbon we traveled to Sevilla, Spain via a mellow night train and stayed there for 2 days and nights.

On our way to the train



Aren't those bunk beds cute



Our hotel in Sevilla was the Vincci La Rabida



Cheers



Oh so fine



Interesting architecture



More nice architecture



We were very excited about the Cathedral and the Giralda



The Cathedral is truly amazing and enormous in size



Beautiful details



Christopher Columbus is apparently laid to rest here



Bling, bling



Looking down from the Giralda



Looking up the Giralda



We also visited the Hospital de los Venerables



Later in the day we noticed this unique basketball came



At the waterfront of Sevilla



The next morning we saw the famed Alcazar



Beautiful ornate details



Alcazar has some very beautiful gardens



Some of the Alcazar buildings date back to the 10th century



We had breakfast here a couple times
