Tranquilo Por Favor!

Pictures with no writing? That is like a book without words. I am sure that many of you might be wondering why the word Pomegranate and how the hell did we make that upside down question mark! Well the question mark will have to reamain our little secret but let us fill you in on the title.
Granada is español (¿how do you like that n?) for pomegranate! Granada is where we went last friday and the pictures/slidshow that you are looking at are of Granada...or the city of Pomegranate in el ingles! Absolutley amazing. We left Jaen at noon and were back by midnight! Subtract two hours driving time and that means that we were only able to spend eight hours in one of the most beautiful places we have ever been. Ohh yeah, you might as well subtract another TWO hours we spent inside an authentic Italian restaurant eating the best food we have ever had in our lives. This restaurant made the famous olive garden seem like a dirty Micky D´s (sorry grandpa Rob). De la puta madre! as the people here in Jaen say! This restaurant was unbelievable and we will surely be going back. Anyone that comes to visit will have to head to Granada to see/taste what we are talking about!
The Sierra Nevada Mt. Range is in the background covered in snow. The cool looking building is la Alhambra (look it up in a book or on the web for more info). We were unable to go inside but the view from outside was increible! We truly enjoyed every moment spent in this city and will be planning more trips over that way in the near future... Not to rub it in too much but it just so happened that friday through monday was short and t-shirt weather with blue bird days ta boot!
Jeanna and I are having a really good time here in Spain. We would like to say thank you to all of those that have helped make this dream a reality for both of us. WE are both truly enjoying this experience to the fullest. I get my spainish lessons on the bike and Jeanna has made a few spanish friends that take her differnt places and present her with an opportunity to mejorar her español as well! Poco a Poco we are learning the language/culture etc. We look forward to the next couple months and all that we have in store. Los Vacaciones de Navidad are just around the corner!! WOOOOOzeR!! Ohh yeah...We work...everyonce in awhile! (insert big queso smile)!
Love and miss you all
Eli and Jeanna
