Avda Del Mediterraneo, 280 Rincon de la Victoria

After days at sea we had a short stop in Malaga before docking the next day back in Savona. I have decided that I am not crazy about the days at sea. Even though I really enjoyed all the ports, I don't think I would do anther big curise. The fact that there were only small number of people who spoke enlgish on the ship was interesting. So wanted to speak another language .. any lanaugage. Even when I told the Germans I did nto speak Germann they kept talking!

... last time I ate that good. I had so much I thought I was going to get sick. It was a real good night. Even though we are so far from home and the traditional Thanksgiving (which is my favorite holiday...food and it's not commercialized), it felt a little bit like home. We laughed a lot. At the end I told the woman who I assume owns the restaurant that it was very good and I could tell she appreciated hearing that. She also told me ...

... tapas and wine there a couple of times as well – it was a very nice place to enjoy the Spanish experience.

Our week in Frigiliana was outstanding. Refreshing, rejuvenating, connecting with friends and family, and just what the doctor ordered. We are grateful that our friends David and Karen suggested this place (they stayed there a few years back and loved it as well). It is a place we definitely could see visiting again.

... have it replaced, but in hindsight I believe that is an American mentality (a tradition of America). I asked Alex if he thought it would be wrong for me to ask and he replied, "What have you got to lose?" which is the state of mind I like. So I went in and asked the bartender if I could exchange it and she was a little surprised and she asked her boss, and they exchanged it. When I went out of the bar with a beer in my hand the group ...

... ill but it was cheap and filled us up.

We went to a place called Montys bar where they had a live act on we thought it was going to be really cheesy but it turned out to be ok. Steve the man who was playing was really good and played lots of old classics man rock songs so Ian liked it and I enjoyed it to. We then stagered back to our room around midnight a little drunk again. Looks like we are fitting right in with this holiday.

... drive along the coast through Marbella and we even saw the rock of Gibralter as well. As we where travelling though you could not help but notice the strips of english bars and restaurants and we laughed about what we have got coming up.

We got the the centre of Torrimolinos and got a taxi to our hotel. Its ok the hotel is clean and we have a large kitchen and balcony not overlooking the pool but its ok ...

... for a weekend. We arrived Friday afternoon. Throughout the weekend we made four trips to the local supermarket for food and beverages. Nothing like some home cookin' in the south of Spain! We made grilled cheese, barbeque burgers, hot dogs, and spaghetti with tomato sauce. It hit the spot. Kate's house is a condominium and is part of a secluded community. More specifically, her condominium is one of eight or so and they all share the ...

... show was absolutely stunning. It also gave the lie to the traditional "gypsy woman" image of flamenco. On stage were 2 guitarists, 3 vocalists and rythmn musicians (using hands and feet only mind), and 1 male dancer. The combinations of speed, movement and volume were almost hypnotic. You couldn't ever watch just one thing because so much was happening on the stage. I was surrounded by local aficionados of flamenco and they approved as much as I ...
