So here is something of a group shot of the people that we went to the Atalaya with. I'm sure it's not everyone, but you can see the three of the Elders and two fo teh Sisters and then that family of red-heads from the branch. Elder Roundy is down in a hole.


This is a view from where the first photo was shot, looking up onto the wall. Atalaya means fortress or lookout or something like that. It was built in Roman times up on top of one of the hills to protect the port.



Green hills in the northwest of Spain.




These two photos are actually of the trip with Grandma to Granada. One is Grandma looking out on the Alhambra and the other is the hotel we stayed in.





This is a view of the hills of Granada from the Alhambra. If you look carefully, you can see caves in the mountainside where the gypsies live. They've actually made their caves just like houses. Very nicely furnished, with gates and doors just like regular houses.



Mary and Elizabeth jumping into a pool. It seems to me like this is one of the campgrounds we stayed in in Spain itself. If I remember correctly, it was on our way back from Europe.


The Rock of Gibraltar, which, as Daddy pointed out, means "The rock of Gibral's Rock". You had to walk across a landing strip for the British Air Force (?) to get to Gibraltar. We stocked up on English reading while we were there. Jenny

I remember that we went to Gibraltar after we had done most of the European countries and Mommy was insistant that we get a stamp in our passport for Gibraltar. I guess there were a couple of border crossings that we didn't have a stamp for. They had to call a guy to come and stamp us in and then when we came back to go back to Spain the guy wasn't there and we were never stamped out of Gibraltar. We joked about having proof that we were in two places at the same time, since according to our passports we were in both Spain and Gibraltar.

Am I remembering completely wrong that we crossed the straight and visited Ceuta, just so we could say we had been to the African Continent?

That's what I remember too- that we rode a bus out to the border of Ceuta and just looked out into the Arab country that was next to it.
