Reliving my Favorite Trip

So I should have been doing homework, but I wandered into my photo gallery instead. I found so many pictures I had forgot that I took. From my first college football game here at school to the random Saturday trip to the Zoo, all these photos brought back so many amazing memories. But there was a group of pictures that stood out more than others, my trip to Spain a few years ago. It's not that I didn't remember going on the trip, it was how much of it I couldn't recall doing off the top of my head. With that said, I want to share some of my trip including photos and little stories about my favorite trip yet.
This was one of the first places we headed. It looks like an indoor rain forest, which is pretty much what it was. In fact, the building still serves as an active train station. We even got to see the turtles and frogs living down in the ponds by the trees.


This is one of my favorite pictures I took. The aqueducts were so cool to see. They lasted for several miles. It truly is an engineering marvel that they are still together and haven't fallen apart.


The Valley of the Fallen is a memorial to the many who dies during their war. This cross is almost 500 feet tall and it takes about a 2 mile hike to get up to it. Once at the top, the view was amazing. I could see Madrid from there. I have never been so thankful that my friends pushed me to climb all the way up.


Probably the most incredible sunset I have ever seen. It was amazing just standing on our balcony and seeing this as I looked out over the city.



Sevilla, one of my favorite cities. I loved everything about that city. It was one of my favorite places. The highlight was probably the view from the top of the tower pictured above. From there, we could see all parts of the city. The funniest part was seeing the pools that were on some of the roofs. We asked if our hotel had one, but it did not unfortunately.


The Alhambra is amazing. It is located in one of the last strongholds for the Moors as they were being conquered. It was so cool to see the different architecture they used. The arches, the details, the reflective pools, all of it was truly awesome.


One of our last spots was this amazing garden. We just had hours to walk around and enjoy the beautiful flowers, not to mention the fantastic weather. Some of the flowers looked perfect, like this rose. Also, all the colors were so vibrant. Now if only they would have let us pick some that would have been cool.

So that is just a small portion of my trip to Spain. I never bet tired of seeing these pictures. It reminds me of how thankfully I am that I was given the opportunity to travel and I look forward to visiting many more amazing places.
