Granada

Day four and five have been spent in Granada, Spain. Yesterday, the students had a chance to visit the last Moorish palace during the 15th century, La Alhambra which means the red walls in Arabic. The students walked through the palace and fort which was build in the 8th century. The students also had a chance to visit the room where Colombus met with Queen Isabel to discuss financing a trip to the new world in April of 1492. Afterwards, we visited the center of Granada where the students had lunch, visited the Cathedral where the Catholic queen and king of Spain are buried and then ate ice cream in Los Italianos where Michelle Obama visited and ate ice cream in the last year. Later on this evening, the students and teachers both learned to dance el flamenco. The ladies danced with success while the boys made the flamenco more interesting! After our lesson with the instructor, she then performed flamenco for us during a dinner and flamenco show. The food and  the performers were absolutely amazing! We had a chicken and pork dinner followed by a  tiramazu dessert. This was followed by a sunset view of La Alhambra where the teachers took pictures with the students that they had in class! Our next stop is Valencia!
