Spain and Nice

so here are some of the pics from my trip to Granada, Spain and Nice, France. Both were beautiful in their own right. Is this an evidence of my Filipino root in Spain (i ran across this as my friend and i were walking through Madrid)? And look, is the food business in the family or what??! Cenas??! alguien quiere cenar?
This is me at the foot of Alhambra (Moor castle). I went inside this place, and "wow", is all i can say! If i was that detail oriented, maybe i wouldn't have failed my calculus tests!

This is probably one of the low key vacation towns (apart from cincque terra). good coffee and holy Chawarma! Can i just tell you all that we ate at the Chawarma (thats how the Spanish were pronouncing it) every day that we were there...and them
mint lemonade! dude, what else could we ask for??!

Courtyard area
Friends who i traveled with and with the Alhambra behind us:) (tara, stefen, stephen, amelia, tori, me, julian, mat, jason; top right to bottom)
Friends hanging out in the small town of Eze, France. This was a quaint little town with remnants of the people who conquered it...there were still some Moor markings around...our good ol friend sarah took us here and allowed us to barge in her home:)
We got to go around several towns, like Monaco and Cannes. both towns were very city and richy...so i ventured toward the little villages next to it. off of Monaco is Villefranche which is another port town and has a really nice view of yatchs just floating by:)

View from Eze...this is the blue waters of cote de azur:)
Another coastal shot from Eze

Ille of San Margaruette:) nice island, there's an abbey on the other island. This is off of Cannes

So my friends were hanging out watching batchi ball...so i decided to get on the last boat to the island and just take time to be by myself and hang out on the clear waters of Southern France:)
Pier area in San Margueritte
floating yatch off the coast of Villefranche

so that ends my journey for now:) its been nice travelling and really awesome to see Europe! i got to see the Chagall museum in Nice! what a treat! There's definitely comfort in being able to go around the world and recognizing that well, nature is truly something that everyone can appreciate and well, people will also be people and be gonzos around...
