Annie+Diary+Entry+1

Day One My journey in Spain starts off at the city of Granada, where an attraction catches your eye the moment you arrive in the city. The Alhambra Palace is a beautifully designed piece of architecture from the 16th century and overlooks the city. Seeing it from the city and realising the size of it, you can't help but think about the history of such a great building. So this is where the journey begins, and i couldn't be happier. Seeing the thing in brochures and pictures is nothing compared to when i'm standing here with the wind in my hair and the silence surrounding me to reminise and think of the lives that have stood in that very spot.

What made the start of my trip so successful as well was that everyone i came into contact with since i first placed my foot on Spanish soil was friendly. Even when they couldnt speak english, they used hand gestures to communicate. Walking the streets are such a pleasure as the aroma's of all the exotic food fills the air and makes me hungry even if i've only eaten 5 minutes beforehand. The Spanish people are so open and friendly that it's hard to move around alot as they can make you stop and talk for so long that you forget you were going anywhere.Directions and instructions from the spanish people are complicated, maybe because i didn't understand one word of Spanish. But luckily for me I was able to meet a lady at my hotel who told me everything i needed to know and even came with me on shopping trips through the town so i understood everything that went on. Who knows about the next place which i'll visit? But that's for the next entry. So wish me luck! I'm off to explore and enjoy myself.

Goodbye for now! or how i've been taught to say **Adiós**
