Good view

I have to say that sometimes I don’t appreciate enough how lucky I was to stumble across the place I’m living in at the moment. It’s in the oldest quarter of Albaicyn. It has a terrace overlooking the massive cathedral of Granada. It’s a few minutes walk away from the Mirador of San Nicolás, arguably the best view of the Alhambra in Granada.

ImplicARTE

A few weeks ago I went on a Christian ‘campamento’ retreat at a youth centre near Málaga. There were about 20 of us in total from Granada, Málaga and Córdoba, a healthy mixture of Spanish, Americans and English.

The weekend, names ImplicARTE, was designed to give us the opportunity to express ourselves through art.

At one point I was asked to take of my shoes and socks, dip my feet in red paint and walk across a bridge of white paper across a floor-mural we had created as a group. It was meant to signify Jesus creating a bridge walking across the chaos of the world.

I think the group found it quite an inspiring moment. Many photos were taken of my footprints and feet, which was an unusual experience for me. Also, when we were asked to take a piece of the mural away with us at the end of the weekend, many (including myself) grabbed one of my footprints.

It’s funny to think that hanging up in rooms across Andalucía is my humble red footprint.

It's been a while

It’s high time I updated my blog, I think…
