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!

... on to me when I was leaning against a wall. Wasn´t happy that Mark wasn´t around to get a pic though! grrr!! I Want One! Plus I miss my babies, Harvey and Biscuit...

Anyway, the trip was a really good breath of fresh air, in comparison to the hustle and bustle of lots of the parts of Europe we have visited recently.

Hopefully we can get a computer that will upload photos in the next few days! Keep an eye out...

... was when I called my grandparents in Florida. They were hosting my uncle, cousins, and Melanie and that my grandma had to get off the phone so she could put the turkey in the oven. For a moment I felt like I was there with them. Other than that it is sad missing out on such a great day but I took it pretty well. I am enjoying Spain too much to be all that sad. It was fun talking to my grandma. She told me that she saw my belly ...

Malaga is the major city near Frigiliana (where the train dropped us off). We spent a day there when we picked up Jaime and Rob at the train station. Some highlights:

• Watching Jaime and Rob come off the train and meet us in Spain
• The Picasso Museum – a wonderful ...

A couple of days ago I was talking with a friend of mine who is from England but is living in Malaga now. He told me that one time in a restaurant the waiter asked how the meal was and he told the waiter that it wasn't that good. He told me that normally the British will just sit there with an unhappy look on their face and never say anything. He got the meal for free. Today I met two really cool people from Seville, Alejandro (Alex) and ...

... was very tasty and I feel better that I can at least eat again without being so paranoid about where the food has been stored all day. We had met an english lady on the train that was so ill by the food in morroco that i felt really glad and relieved that we had come off so lucky.

Ian was feeling much better as well thankfully and we go on the bus to our final place the Costa Del Sol rodney! It was a ...

This is by far the most beautiful city I have visited in Spain! Ronda is where the first bullfight took place and is home to the oldest bullring in Spain. The other students and I started out the day listening to one of our professors give a speech about the history of bullfighting, very interesting but after three hours I was ready to see Ronda. We then went to the bullring and had the opportunity to go inside where the fights take place. It was a feeling like no ...

... there are huge pieces of pig swinging in your face almost everywhere you go. After consuming enough pig to make Kermit mad we shoved off to the "Chup". The "Chup" is short for the chupiteria, which if you remember from a previous entry was deadly for me in the past and proved deadly again last night. After god knows how many shots of terrible instant headache "alcohol" we stumbled through the streets to a new destination. But your boy was in true form because along the way he ...

... see such a massive rock in the middle of a flat city. Apes also dwell on top of the rock in ruins of forts and are known to snatch bags out of tourists' hands. I was absolutely amazed to see them walking so close to me- I could have pet them if I wanted to. Too soon, we had to catch the cable car back down to earth. We wandered the narrow streets for a bit and I had a great Irish stout in The Star, Gibraltar's oldest pub, before napping ...
