Espana!

Si, it is true that we spent 7 days in the South of Spain on the Mediterranean Sea and what a adventure for 3 Americans, one Irish and a friend from England. We rented a car in Malaga and drove to Nerja where we stayed in a beautiful hotel. Our room had amazing views of the sea, not that we stayed much in the room and the food was amazing. Mark even liked it, the picky ole fart and the European Breakfast buffet quite good. We had quite a few adventures.....driving the wrong way on a one way street, driving down a closed street with some Spanish guy yelling at us and trying to turn around on these "foot paths" they call roads, conquering the round abouts the Spanish way or you would get run over, learning to navigate our way out of Malaga and we can't forget the car lift elevator we got stuck in! It was international fun to remember! Here are a few of our picture highlights.....yes....MUY BEIN......! (we went to a Mexican restaurant -twice and the Spanish guy working there was hilarious....Muy Bein was his favorite word) We have pictures of that place to. A word to those travelling to Spain.......there is no such thing as eat and run. The Spanish way is slow and they don't hurry you out of restaurants, come to think of it, it was that way at the passport check in Madrid which nearly cost us another night in Spain as we nearly missed our connection back to America.



Yup, that is the Mediterranean in the back of us

Below Mexican Restaurant fun, the food was great
