Guero en Granada: Sábado Santo
http://gueroengranada.blogspot.com/2010/04/sabado-santo.html
Fecha: 3 de abril, 2010. Tonight, there was only one procession in Granada. I was at somewhat of a loss to not be fighting bullas. The procession tonight was unique in two ways: first, because it left from the Alhambra, and second, because it wasn't a paso. Carried from underneath, but rather a trono. The "Gate of Justice", an imposing first entrance to the Alhambra. The sculpture, very recent (last 10 years, I believe), was a Pietá ( Piedad. Bottom (L to R): Kyrie, Kristen, Emily, Kristin.

Viernes Santo: La Noche. Fecha; 2 de abril, 2010. After the prayer at the Campo del Príncipe.

Guero en Granada: Nostaljia
http://gueroengranada.blogspot.com/2010/04/nostaljia.html
Fecha: 15 de abril, 2010. Poet Juan Ramón Jiménez wrote a very short piece which I've had on my mind lately. 161;Nostaljia aguda, infinita,. Terrible, de lo que tengo! Translated, as best as I can, to preserve the meaning, it reads:. Sharp, infinite, terrible. Longing, for what is mine! I've translated "nostaljia" as "longing" instead of "nostalgia" because "nostalgia" has a positive connotation in English that it does not in Spanish. Seguro que nadie va a sentir nostalgia para esta clase. ". Un dia poco...
