Okay, I can't resist: just one more post on Spain. I mentioned the Alhambra in my prior post. If you're interested in reading up on this stunningly beautiful and fascinating place, check out the wikipedia site at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhambra.

Breath-taking! I've been in Spain two years ago. The most beautiful month of my life! First, I was freaking out that the Spanish would kiss you the moment they met you, but actually, they are great people with amazing history!
