As some of you may have heard (or seen on Facebook,) my girlfriend Elizabeth and I went to Spain for a sort of "long-weekend." I had wanted to go see the Heldenbrands, not to mention wanting to see Spain. The cheapest way we could find to get from Dijon to Málaga was the bus.
Lots of people warned us that the bus ride would be long and cramped. So, we checked into flying... But, the wallet is mightier than comfort, and the cheaper method of transportation prevailed. (Not to mention that the bus was very hassle free.)

We spent the next three days hanging out with the family and seeing the sites of Málaga. We tasted some of the local products like olives, cheese, ham, and fish. But, we especially enjoyed the atmosphere of an American family, something that we really missed. It was fun discussing the NFL draft with Derrick (and find that he was much more up to date than I was.) Of course we talked about all sorts of things, but there was seldom a conversation in which my Dad was not brought up.

Unfortunately, it rained everyday that we were there. Everyone we talked to expressed remorse for the weather, saying that it wasn't typical. However, no one apologized because it had been the driest winter that Spain had had in seventy years. We were still able to have a clear day (Monday) to visit the old city, see a fort from the time of the Moorish Occupation, and even dip our feet in the Mediterranean Sea.
Before we knew it, Tuesday morning had arrived, and we headed back to France. Elizabeth agrees with me that it was well worth the long trip.
