Hotel Nh Malaga Málaga

... ill but it was cheap and filled us up. <br><br>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.

... the ferry over to Algeciras it only took an hour and half and then we where in spain, I felt a huge weight lift as now we can relax a little. In morroco you are always on edge always watching and not trusting people that it makes you a little crazy. So we went and got our bus tickets and we waited in a little bus station cafe and had our first taste of Spanish food. Ian had some paella and I had some meatballs ...

... they are quite easy to make and you can add pretty much what you want to them but the main ingredients are egg, and potato. i like to add roasted pepper, cubed spanish cheese like manchego, salt, pepper, and a bit of comino (cumin). i brought some new mexico red chile with me to make a chile sauce to go over the tortilla just to spice things up; the spanish don't embrace spice like we new mexicans do.<br><br>for dinner we have been buying roasted chicken from the ...

... the pool, cooking for ourselves, and watching MTV in German (South Park is hilarious, BTW) it was time for another adventure. <br>We ended up booking an actual group tour to Morocco for the day. We wanted to go check it out on our own, but it was actually cheaper to do it though the tour, so we got up at 5:45 in the morning on Thursday and got on the bus to Tarifa, where we would take the ferry over to Tangier. <br>Even though it´s only a 35 minute ferry ride, Tangier really is ...

Before we leave Marseille behind I need to tell you that yes, travel can be dangerous. In this case it was in the form of trying to sleep at a hostel. Yes, there I was sound asleep in the bottom of a bunkbed when all of a sudden I was woken up to rough shaking. I honestly thought it was an earthquake and when I came to I saw a 300 pound dude trying to climb the ladder to the top bunk.<br><br>Now keep in mind this was one of those cheap IKEA creations that is ...

After breakfast and nice stroll on the beach, we head out to see the next city in the list which was Malaga. Malaga is very big compare to its size on the map :)<br>The trick is to head out to the old part of town to see the actions. Lots of architectures are dated back few years. <br>Cathedral as like the other places, is a must see in the old city. Small cobble stone alleys make it very nice and easy for walk. <br>The best ...

... that offers the option of using a Spanish keyboard as if it was Cyrillian, but of course this mixes up the writing. I´d get frustrated and wait until I got home or buy a Cyrillic keyboard but well. Which of course wasn´t of much use since it was too late, mom was unreachable and no one was online. 1/2 A day almost as ****ed up as the third day in Spain. It is Sunday and Sunday equals prison and boredom and frustration, for of course everything is CLOSED, including the library ...

... leche. Coffee with milk. An olive tree. We drove through miles and miles of olive farms in Southern Spain. Can you see the green unripe olives on the tree? Olives are used to make olive oil.Some people eat them with salads or as a starter. Alba helped me cook a famous Spanish meal called paella. Can you spot the ...

So I finally officially registered for my classes last week. None of the electives I was interested in taking worked out because of scheduling, or they were poorly reviewed by previous students, etc. So now I'm taking 4 psychology classes in addition to the spanish grammar class that's required through the abroad program. The psych classes are sports psychology, psychology of sexuality, psychology of organizations (kind of like organizational behavior ...

On Tuesday morning we called the Canadian Consulate and found out that since it was holy week, they would be closed on Thursday and Friday. We had planned on heading back to Madrid (where there's a consulate) on Thursday, which would be too late to get a passport as we were leaving the country on Sunday. We found out that there was also a consulate in Malaga, a two hour bus ride from Granada, but that on Wednesday it would only be open between 10am and 1pm. We ...
