Hola From Southern Spain

So much to write about, and yet still so little time...

I'm sitting here in a hotel room in Malaga, Spain. It is almost 11pm, Susan is asleep. I can hear the waves right outside our hotel room crashing onto the beach. We had a pretty long day today. It started in Granada. A 3 hour tour of the Alhambra Palace, a quick lunch, and a 2 hour bus ride later we found ourselves here in Malaga.

Our little hotel is right on the beach. It is definitely nothing special. A narrow staircase goes up into a narrow hallway. The room is pretty small, but hey there's free wireless internet so who can complain?There's a bar/snack place downstairs that was surprisingly loud and lively this evening.

We're a few kilometers from the center of town. Did you know that there are Roman ruins in this town and that Pablo Picasso was born here too? Neither did I until this week. We haven't gotten to see much of this town yet, but hopefully we will over the next couple days. If the weather holds out we will get a little sunshine on the beach too.

We are in the middle of a week-long trip around southern Spain. We were hoping to go to Morocco as well, but the recent terrorist bombings changed our plans. Better safe than sorry. Tomorrow we have to get up early again and catch a bus so we can get to Gibraltar. Then we'll finish off the trip back in Seville this weekend.

I don't have much time to write now, and the pictures will have to come later too. Spain is so picturesque, we have already taken over 150 pics I think! There is so much to see and do here, to start talking about it now would have me up all night.

So that's all for now. Next post will hopefully have Flamenco dancers, Matadors, beaches, and ancient castles...
