Questions About Post Cataract Surgery



... And we left happy with David and Geraldine to Granada!
(Alli celebrate Christmas with a warm dinner at a Moroccan restaurant.)

The road crosses a very pretty landscape. In the distance, silhouettes of low hills that crowd, are friends, and then expand. On its soil ocher, olive vintage lines in parallel perfect waves are drawing, persistent, the hills.
Closer to the road, erect leafless poplars point to the sky barren, unable to hold leaves, twigs, nests ...
And there in the background, suddenly appears, superb, the Sierra Nevada. Reaching
Granada, shredded litter the impeccable white clouds blue sky.

What I can tell you in town? Tread it that after three days of light, the beautiful declare as few! Nice, neat, clean, with wide avenues traversed by streets where from the floor incredible neat small cobbles to the beautiful bluffs of warm yellow light, the beautiful show from the foot to the sky! Scalloped
every block, colorful shops offer everything from a Hookah an Andean tapestry, why not a native mate. Cute boutiques, antique shops, many restaurants and tea houses tapería, ahead late in the day to close in the original pecking, tasty, sharing pints in a row. Almost a ritual that we share the three joyful. Granada
entire Babel is a continuous movement: many foreigners, strange voices, colorful costumes and diverse ethnic groups, having as a city can not hide-and-the imprint left by the Arabs in his three centuries. Impossible

be in Granada and the Alhambra not known. Impossible
be in the Alhambra and not shudder at such beauty, such rich architecture and aesthetics. I confess it is almost hypnotic attraction compared to the abundance of lines, shapes and colors; sight, sound, tactile, so many that are beyond historical data. Rich perception removes learned how little far away and with great ease, leaving the imagination to complete the story kept on this very stage. Because
Moors brought not only his power: let treasures of their culture: theological perspectives, aesthetic, social, pervade every thing they did while they were on English soil. Thus, references to the throne in architectural forms and compositions that his people were trying to reinforce the idea of \u200b\u200bthe divine dignity of the King. Therefore the Throne Room is the most important and represents the roof of the universe.
senses, hungry, drink so wonderful. High walls with inlaid tile baseboards in white and predominantly blue and green figures are characteristic of Moorish culture, fine plasterwork friezes polychrome flower motif and stars or the transcription of some phrases from the Koran, marble floors exquisite technique and composition, in designs made with small parts, carpet the spacious halls of the palace. Roofs constructed with masterfully crafted wood marquetry in (very small pieces of fine wood, ivory and sometimes silver, which are flattened and overlap) in the magnificent view of decorated furniture.
