This is the courtyard of Charles V's palace, which he had built in the middle of Alhambra.


A view of the Albacin district from Alhambra.
There are so many stone carvings like this in Alhambra it's incredible.

Newport Car Museum - Highly Recommended

Image
On our day trip to Newport, we went to the Newport Car Museum, which I was very excited for, having heard about it for a long time. If you like cars it's a must visit if you're in the area, and even if you don't like cars you might enjoy it. Lorna isn't into cars and she enjoyed it. Also, it's a good size. There are a lot of cars to see, over one hundred I think, but it's not so large that it takes all day to see the museum. $20 well spent. Saw a lot of cars that I've heard about but never seen in person.

This is a strange looking bird we saw in the botanical gardens in Madrid. I don't know what kind of bird it is. If anyone does, please post it in the comments. Another Madrid street view.

Rome Underground tour

This is the column of Marcus Aurelius. On Thursday we did a tour called Rome Underground. We went to three different underground areas. The picture below is of a fresco wall from a Republican era Roman house. It was under a church. Here's a nice picture of the Parthenon, one of the coolest attractions in Rome. I would post more pictures, but the internet connection at the hotel is painfully slow. I'll post a bunch when I get back home.
