Joan, Bill, and Emmy traveled to Spain. Bill and Emmy visited Barcelona, and then joined Joan in Sevilla. They stopped in Cordoba on the way to a scientific meeting in Baeza. Then it was on to Granada, and The Alhambra. Most of the pictures of Barcelona were on Emmy's camera, which was in her backpack when it was stolen. Emmy took most of the pictures that follow. In Sevilla, we walked all over, visiting the Cathedral and the Palace, took a boat tour on the Guadalquiver (Rio Grande), visited the bullring, and had tapas at a Flamenco nightclub. Sevilla is one of the most beautiful cities on earth. We picked up a rental car and headed for Baeza. Along the way, we stopped at Cordoba, visiting the Palace, with its rich mix of Roman, Moorish, and renaissance Christian fixtures, and then the spectacular Mosque, which was left largely intact by the conquering Christians (except for the central part, which was beyond baroque). Bill's scientific meeting was in Baeza, a lovely small town on a hill. As we arrived, a procession emerged from the church (on the same square as the university), carrying a float of some saint (the town's patroness). It was an annual celebration, perfectly timed. Cameras hadn't been unpacked. The meeting was in a splendid former palace, recently renovated. After the meeting we drove to Granada, where the astonishing Alhambra awaited. We especially enjoyed reading Tales of The Alhambra, by Washington Irving, who lived in the palace in the 1820's, when it was badly neglected and home to various gypsies. He played an important role in popularizing and promoting its rebuilding.
