I don't really have time to write a long entry and I most definitely will write more later but I just wanted to mention a couple of items. This weekend I went to the province of Andalucia, to a city called Marbella (meaning beautiful ocean) on a mini vacation. Spain pretty much every month has these national holidays called "puentes" (bridges) which elongate the weekend for various causes. This past puente was Spain Day and also Christopher Columbus' discovery of America. Basically puentes serve as an excuse for all of Spain to go on vacation which is what Horchata and I did. We went down south for our puente in hopes of grasping on to the finals days of good weather on the coast. We were in such luck because the weather was absolutely gorgeous when we went there. The sun was shinning, it was about 70 degrees the whole time and just a perfect getaway from bustling Madrid. We took a bus to Marbella which was reasonably price and very convenient. My only qualm with the bus is that the seats are able to recline so much that the head of the person if front of you is pretty much in your lap which makes it not so comfortable. I think there should be a mandate of the angle of allowance for seat tilting because it made the bus ride not so fun at times. If you are smart, you book in advance so you sit in the first row so no one gets the chance to lay their head in your lap, which is what I plan to do for the future. But other then that the bus was hassle free, fairly quick and enjoyable because it got us right to paradise.
When we arrived though we notified our hostel that we'd be arriving at 8AM they failed to open until much later in the day so we rallied and took our luggage and passed out on the beach for 6 hours. I got a great sun tan and plenty of splendid dreams and then to awake, check into our hostel and get ready to meet Horchata's friend Cueva. Who is hysterical and next entry I will talk about him and some of my other observations of the trip. I am going to cut this entry right here so I am not late for babysitting but more later and pictures when this blog site fixes its uploading problem.
