I would like to clearly to state that whomever thought that sticking two cavins and one dungy inside a car for 5 days should be shot. I am not certain what does it, but I do know that the situation is definitely less than "friendly." We get in the car and with out reason voices and blood pressure raise. In the following 20 minutes phrases like "What the F*** are you doing!" start and "You either need to drive or look at the scenery!" too!

Nonetheless, this trip has been simply simple amazing! I don't think that words can begin to explain the Mezquita of Cordoba and the Alhambra of Granada. They are simply breathtaking. I really liked the Alhambra I just think that the Mezquita in all that it is cannot even come close to the intricate work and inlay of the Alhambra. Also, we went on a drive through the mountains, the Sierra Nevadas, and the view was amazing! It was of those sort of foggy days and the sun was bouncing of all the light from the water and the fog. I will try to add pictures soon!

We are now in Malaga and from the first look it seems to be the most "unspanish" of what we have seen so far. For mom it has LOTS of shopping. Funny moment today, so we are walking down the street and up ahead we see this HUGE HUGE market like at least 6 or 7 blocks long. Dad sees it and then forces Mom to cross the street on the pretense that "its quicker that way" ;) Thats Love!

ALSO, We got a Toyota Prius for a rental car! Very cool! It's a great car in my-o-so humble opinion. We have a V6 with a red exterior and grey interior. It's cool to watch the way the car deals out of the energy.

Let see...Today we had a good Spanish lunch. What are the keys to a good Spanish lunch you say?

1.) Eat after 2:00 PM
2.) Don't finish till 4:30 PM
3.) Wine is always included.
4.) Coffee too.
5.) Tapas are for tourists
6.) A wait staff that doesn't want to give you the bill
7.) Good food.

Luego.

We are following your adventures. Sounds like you are having a great time and seeing as much as you can (and eating as much as you can!) !!! Snow and ice and rain in Illinois. Amanda had to drive your car today but do not worry - she did not do much damage! I am trying to find the pictures but have not yet figured it out. Miss you all, Love Mike & Linda
