Random adventures of the last week or so.

We went to El Pimpi’s the night before we left for Granada with our friends Tony and Paul (I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this but me and Amber pretty much do everything together…like they could not have matched us better if they tried, I think if I was with any of the other girls here I would have flown home crying already…anyyyways, continuing).  El Pimpi’s is a pretty famous local restraunt here (you should see if it’s in your book mom!) for their wine.  They have several different kinds but are most famous for their sweet red wine.  I have tried two different kinds, one is Vino de Malaga and I don’t remember the name of the other.  Both are….ughhhh gross.  Well the other one I don’t remember was a little better, but they are both really sweet and really strong.  And they serve them in a shot glass…  But anyways, it’s a fun experience because it is a really popular place, even if the wine is a little much.  They have all these wine barrels and pictures signed by famous people, including Antonio Banderas, who was born in Malaga.  We had a good night, Tony and Paul are both awesome and are other people we are really going to miss when they leave in two weeks!

umm this is just a random photo rocking our 1 euro sunhats at the beach.

The other night we went and met with one of the guys, Jorge, that we met at the intercambio.  We just went for tapas with them after dinner.  (one could always be eating here, so much for losing weight)  It was an enjoyable evening and we got a good chance to practice our Spanish with locals and get to know Malaga a little better.  Jorge’s English is really good though so it’s embarrassing to speak our Spanish to him sometimes!  However, he taught us a lot of phrases and told us a lot of cool places that we should go to.

Yesterday, Amber, Lauren, Ryann, and two other girls (and me), went to the Picasso museum!  Very neat…I’m really not a fan of Picasso’s artwork, most of it is real ugly, but it’s still really cool to see.  They also had a lot of Picasso quotes around the museum and they were really neat.  If we would have been able to take pictures, I would have been taking pictures of the quotes!  And under the museum is an archeological site that is sweet because it’s from 6^th century B.C. and it just is a bunch of old buildings underground.  Hard to explain but really cool to see!  After going to the museum Lauren, Ryann, Amber and I went to a Mexican restaurant we heard of because we were craving Mexican food!  It was pretty good but not the same as Mexican food back home!

 However, after our meal our waiter (pretty sure he was the owner, he's from Columbia and told us we were crazy for coming to Malaga to learn Spanish because even when he came here he had trouble understanding even though he's a native spanish speaker (and Dad, so you know, this conversation took place in spanish!! :D))  Whoa...got side tracked there.  However, he came over and asked if we wanted a picture and we were like sure.  And then he was like, do you want sombreros?  and we said yes....and all of a sudden he comes back with sombreros, ponchos and guns.  We couldn't stop laughing! However I think we managed to get a couple serious pictures (at least me and Amber did)

Serious!!
