"Home" is not found on a map.

Home for us, has become wherever we happen to be at any point in time.  This new life does not have a "home" anchored a specific spot on a map.  Home is a state of mind rather that a piece of real estate.  We have immersed ourselves in this new view of home and have found to our delight that we love it.

Having friends from the states come to visit was a rare treat for us.  We got to show off our love for and enjoyment of this particular new "home".

Granada was really starting to feel like home to us so we were very excited to share it with those we love.  Our friends were married in May but did not have time to take a honeymoon until September.

Brent and Paige were spending time in Europe and planned to swing by and see the Alhambra and visit with us in Granada for a day or two.

I am not sure who did the planning but they made the perfect landing in Granada arriving in the late afternoon in time for a bite to eat and a short nap before touring the Alhambra at night.  The Alhambra is always spectacular in many ways but the nighttime viewing is a special treat for those who can work it into their schedules.  

We met up the following day for a late breakfast at our favorite Irish pub, Hannigan’s and then headed out for an epic walk up into the Sacramonte and the Albaicin,

the really old areas of Granada that have become home to us.

 Suffice it to say that sharing our new "home" was a wonderful experience for us.

 We found ourselves explaining the unique history that we were learning and of course,

taking them to meet the people that have become so important in our home life here in Granada.

Enjoying the Tapas experience, sharing the new foods and wines that have become our regular fare now was a unique and thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Spending the late evening listening to our favorite Flamenco guitarist Wahdi,

over more tapas was the perfect end to wonderful day.  We can't wait to do it again!
