Malaga & Fun Shots

Friends from home who are living in Italy for the next two years joined us on Malaga and we enjoyed seeing the sights of Malaga with them.

Nik & Jon live outside of Rome in a small town and after six months are craving some variety in their diet. We found a Thai restaurant in Torre del Mar and had a very fun dinner. Werner, the German proprietor and his wife June (who was Thai) were very nice - but the kitchen was really small. We were the second table to be seated, so we ate second - which seems fair - but normally, you'll get your starters while table one is eating their meal. Not at Werner's. Table one ate starters, meal and dessert before we got starters. Thank heaven for strong drinks!

The next day we drove into Malaga and toured the Alcazar/Alhambra/Aljolson type building there. Again, safety doesn't seem to be a concern. This photo was staged, and we missed the one of Eric falling on the top step of this same staircase. I am going to hell because my reaction then (and even now) is to laugh. See the sign, read the sign, and watch your step dumbass!

This is our little rental car and our map of Spain. Yes, it is a BIG map, but if you look really close you'll see that the front of the map is only half of the country - the other half is on the other side. Sometimes it took us longer to find things on the map than it did to drive to the places in the real world.


It took us a moment to figure out that these signs meant it's NOT ok to take your tractor or your horse onto the freeway. For a moment, I was afraid of what the highway might be like. "Look out... it's Mr. Ed!"
