Mark was in the US NAVY '69-'73 and was stationed in Rota, Spain from Dec 69-Mar 73. I joined him in January '70. It was like a long honeymoon (except for the Navy), one we talked about and remembered with love and joy in our hearts for our living and travels there. Granada was wonderful. The Alhambra and Generalife beautiful. There was so much to see there and in Spain as a whole, and we were grateful for that opportunity that we were blessed with to live there in Spain.<br /><br />Thanks for the trip back down memory lane.<br /><br />FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-106418510267458618.post-8388684164809975362012-10-07T11:08:44.231-07:002012-10-07T11:08:44.231-07:00Hi Jean,
