Random street
I thought it looked cool.
Looking back
It doesn't show how big the tree really was.

Parking sign
I've seen all of these signs in old movies. It was so cool to be there in person!
The other way
You can see the different buildings in the distance. This is where the troops used to stay. Open space within the fortress where the troops used to line up. There is a water reservoir which collects rain water through a complex hydraulic system. The storage was big enough to supply water to the troops for one whole year under siege.
Big!
It was so much larger and spacious inside than I thought. It was like a little city. Down this street you can see to the ocean.
Cool inside
It was very cool inside. I like the doors.
Graceland Trip
This year is the 10th anniversary of Kris losing her Dad. Dad LOVED Elvis. He even had a pink Cadillac when he was in high school. We used to listen to listen to Elvis when we were little and watch all of his movies when they came on TV. We thought it would be nice to celebrate Dad's life by going to Graceland in style!
Eek!
A driver picked us up from the airport. It took about an hour to get to the hotel. Boy, were we glad we had the driver. First, it was snowing a lot. Second, as we drove on we could see less and less of the road and this guy was driving fast! He was definitely used to driving in the snow. I had to zoom in so much it kinda looks like a painting but you can see all the snow and no road visible out the front windshield.
McDonald's!!!
We had some trouble in the first few days finding food we liked. I think because we were in the country. We ran in to things like tripe and pig’s ears. We were very happy to see a sign for McDonald’s.
Tunnel!
We were excited every time we saw a tunnel. This time a tunnel and a windmill!!!
Town with a church
Well, every town had a HUGE church, we could just see this one as we came in to town since it was up on the hill.
Farms close-up
I just liked the different farms. The rain looks cool too.
Walking
To get to town we had to walk down the same small, steep road we drove up to get to the parador.
Going to town
After the tour we started walking to town. We couldn't wait to check it out!
