Andalusia, you are beautiful

Friday Drops

I’m writing this post at the Malaga airport, waiting for a flight to Dubai via Istanbul to go see my sister. This one is going to be short and sweet. I have lots of thoughts about Andalusia, and the beauty and history I saw here, but though my heart is full, I am wiped (I walked about 25,000 steps on average the last 4 days). Instead, I will share with you some photos from the trip. I am truly privileged to be able to take this time and visit this beautiful region of the world. Alhamdulillah (Thanks be to God).

A little mosque in Cordoba we prayed in last night after visiting the Mezquita

Seville Old Town, standing on something called “The Mushroom” in a square overlooking the city. I am smiling but terrified inside because of my fear of heights.

AlHambra at night My picture does not cut it but the place is stunning.

What brought you joy this week?

This week has been a complicated one. We’ve had so much joy in visiting these beautiful sites, while also witnessing the suffering of so many on the news. If you’d like to donate to help get water and medical aid to those in need, this is a reputable organization that is recognized as a Canadian charity on the ground.
