04 May

No riding today but I got up at 6am to go walk around and take photos before the heat of the day sets in which is just unbearable. Granada is small, colonial and cute with the typical multi coloured little houses that sit row upon row. Interestingly, although the outsides are small and nothing to look at, a glimpse through open windows reveals large deep spaces often with big atriums, patios and swimming pools so although some streets may look impoverished, the inside of these homes tell a different story.

The outside of Hotel Los Patios which is a typical external facade in Granada although this one is neat and freshly painted…

The pictures below are various street scenes of Granada early on a Saturday morning….

Be a sport Many of us have the means and wherewithal to undertake the dreams we want but elect to choose otherwise, many however, do not and that is the purpose of this plea. Afrika Tikkun (http://afrikatikkun.org// ) is a South African non governmental, non profit charity organisation run by the Lubner family that in essence does just that; re-provide the possibility to dream and to create the possibility of turning those dreams into a reality.

Unlike many pleas of this nature, I am not looking for any kind of sponsorship for my trip, but I am looking for your donation, regardless of its size to Afrika Tikkun. Please pledge generously as this is a fantastic cause that will assist them to provide food, care, education, health and social services to those that are desperately in need.
