Italy and stuff.

Hey Everyone,
It's been a while since we've updates, and we've been very busy!!
From Madrid, we took a train south to Grenada, in Andalucia. We went there to see the Alhambra - a fortress built when the country was ruled by the Moors (Muslims). This contained the Nasirid palaces, very beautiful and intricate palaces where the rulers lived.
Here is the outside of the Alhambra:










And here is Amanda in front of on of the rooms in the palace:











Wee tokk a night trainto Barcelona, and our berth was nicer than some of the hotels we've stayed in!!













Here is la sagrada familia in BArcelonaƧ It' not near finished, and it was started in 1882!!















In Venice, we visited Plaza San Marco and visited the Duomo:











Here is a beautiful canal in Venice:











And yesterday we arrived in Venice. We got to see Micheloangelo's David - way bigger and bore impressive than we imagined.









Tomorrow , unless our plas change, we are heading to the Cinque Terre, and from there, we're on our way to Rome.
