A Giggle in Alhambra
Life can be a giggle.
Before we left the bus to join our local guides for Alhambra, Antonio gave us all the name of the local restaurant where we would be having lunch directly following our visit. He also pointed it out to us as we drove past it, in the shadow of the Alhambra. He did this in case any member of the group got separated since the Alhambra is such a huge complex with more than one exit point.
I giggle.
Yes, you guessed it - I got separated from the group (heavy sigh). In my (feeble) defense, I was not alone and there were a couple of other 'stragglers' in the group, although I fear it was because they may have been relying on and following me. (If so, not the wisest decision on their part.)
Happily when we reached an exit point and our group was clearly not beyond it, we doubled back. Also happily - and in a wee panic - I was able to scurry ahead and finally spy our group in the distance. Thank you Ruth for your bright yellow jacket! Thank you Tuay for your bright red jacket! Thank you Suausipam and Darlene for your blue jackets! And then I spied Antonio waiting by the (correct) exit point scanning the complex for his lost members of his flock.
What can I say?
Antonio must have the patience of a saint.
