El Sol! Granada is sun-soaked and, were there no closely constructed buildings or cafe umbrellas, shade would be something wars would be fought over. Sparrows fill the blue skies--darting and swooping around cathedrals and the Alhambra, which exudes a magnificent presence (though plain looking from the outside) over the Paseo de los Tristes. A wonderful city where the rhythm of the people is much like the tides--an ebb and flow that cannot be hastened--a pattern discernable only after a couple 24 hours cycles (oh! shops are closed now at 11AM...now people are eating at 2:30PM...now sleeping at mid-day...oh! one stays up until dawn..OK!). One has to submit to the leisure--to enjoy it! In my leisurely afternoon post-siesta at Hostal Lisboa I discovered the self-timer on my camera.
