Ok,we made it out of Paris and it only took us 12hours to make a three hour flight. We are now in Spain, Sevilla but I was unable to write from Malaga where we did and saw so much.

In Malaga we stayed at one of my parents friends Apartments in Arroyo del Miel,Malaga. Arroyo is away from the city center but near the beaches which are heavily visited by Brits. Anyway, upon our arrival we were met by my Parents friend's nephew and girlfriend, Andres and Judith. Andres and Judith were both very gracious hosts and took us for tapas and cervezas our first night. The second day Celia and I took a bus to Granada in hopes to see the Alhambra, a very impressive Moors Castle that sits on top of a hill. Unfortunatley, we needed to have reservations to goin but we did have a nice day in the town and were able to appreciate its beauty from a lookout opposite the castle. The castle beyond its impressive size, is ornately decorated inside which we were able to appreciate in the guide book Alhambra

The next day Andres and Judith took us to the town of Ronda where we went to see the New Bridge built in the 18th century and is part of the enlightment period. Of course the day included many stops for tapas, and drinks, and for our guides about 4 cigarretes each stop. Sidenote, Spanairds all smoke alot and more than what we saw in Italy and France , but probably equal to what we saw in Greece.

Our fourth day in Malaga our wonderful hosts left and we were on our own and decided to spend the day at the beach. we pretty much rented a couple beach lounge chairs and umbrella, drank beer, and watched people and topless woman sunbath and walk by all day. And at night, more yummy tapas.

I already have enjoyed spain a great deal, the atmosphere is very mellow, people seem to eat and drink every three hours,when the are not napping of course. Everything around here closes from about 2-3 pm to 6-7pm as it is siesta time, yet you still find plenty of tourons walking around. Anyway, like I said we are now in Sevilla, and this place is pretty amazing but i will start another entry for that.
