Pinomar Playa Marbella

... ham, and beef. She said it was very traditional and that you mix it all up and dip your bread on it. It was so good. It reminded me of Thanksgiving. Then tonight the ISA group had a dinner at a restaurant (they rented it out) it was so good. Wine, salad, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, gravy, cranberry type sauce, and some kind of meat. We later found out that the meat was turkey with stuffing. It was really good. I can't remember ...

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 ...

... 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.

... and laughing at the funnyness of where we are.

As we walked past the bars imagine how funny it was to see loads of english couples a little older all sat in a bar watching only fools and horses. I always thought people where kidding when they said they came on holiday like this but is so true. Each to there own is all I can say. Ian is struggling to adjust and keeps saying he wants some spanish food. Lol.

... 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.

for dinner we have been buying roasted chicken from the ...

... I saw a bullfight my first week here and it really wasn't my cup of tea, but it was interesting to be where all the action takes place. I then proceeded to go exploring on my own, which I actually do quite frequently. I love people but I find I really enjoy some things better when I make my own experience not surrounded by what everyone else wants to do. I started by going down into the Ronda Gorge, which literally looks like a city built on a cliff. It is just ...

... for lunch is an area called Chininitos where there are lots of chairs and tables set outside for a great seafood.
Teatro Romano is another nice place to visit, heading up to the Mount Gilfrano from there allows to see the whole city underneath. Amazing view of the Torre where the bullfighting occurs.
Once seeing the precaussions was over at night, we head out to Cordoba for our last day of visit in the Southern Spain.

... he wanted to wink at Ric and Rob, maybe give them a high-five...silly lecherous old man! ;) On our way to Madrid, we stopped in Segovia. I had done very little reading on Spain prior to our visit, so I was wholly unprepared for Segovia. In fact, I had no idea what to expect, but it definitely was worth the visit. Segovia is the proud home to a magnificent church, in a style unlike anything else I've ever seen, and a very well-preserved Roman Aqueduct. Catholics had, at one ...

... European Adventure 2005, FED up and EXasperated Lost Episode.) After following these simple instructions, I was successfully able to place a call to the Hostal Juvenil de Marbella (Youth Hostel of Marbella) to which no one answered. Looks like I was heading into the darkness without a plan despite my effort. It was a straight forward and relatively painless evening stroll to the swastika graffiti ridden Hostel and, with no other options, begrudgingly paid the 21 Euro per ...

... I think my mama is a little more modern than some of the other moms because we have food that is a lot more plain and basic (which i LOVE) than some other people. For breakfast we have cereal, for lunch we have salad, and something like pasta or something substatial, and for dinner more often than not we have calientes (grilled cheese sandwhiches) or bocadillos (little sandwhiches made of baguette, chorizo, and cheese). Basically, i´m having a great ...
