¡Víva la España!

Buenos días.

It is currently 7:27 local time in Málaga, Spain. My good friend and i flew into Málaga Saturday morning and since then we have been having the time of our lives. Our fist day we spent 3-4 hours on the beach of the Mediterranian, closing our experience with a couple of nice cold beers. Saturday night, we bought a couple bottles of white wine for €1,69 a piece, took ´em down like champs, and went out on the town at 1:30 AM. We landed ourselves at a bumpin´club called ¨The Sound,¨ and danced for 3 hours before they kicked everyone out at 4:30. We had met a couple of Slavakian girls and a tall, strapping Spanish gentleman, who we followed to a rather swanky club where we got in free of cover, only because we were with José. We stayed at the club until 5:30 in the morning, which was not closing until 7:00 AM... that´s right, 7AM. Soooo, we slept until 4PM yesterday; we visited Pablo Picasso´s birthplace, and then spent most of the day climbing to the top of the great fort ¨Alcazaba.¨

After a healthy day of hiking, we ate at the historic Café in La Pláza de Constitución. Today, we are checking out and coming back to the States.

This trip has been exceptional, and if ever presented with the opportunity to come to Spain again, i would do it in a heartbeat.

Hasta luego,
