Lounging on the Mediterranean

Again, sorry for the lack of pictures. I just wanted to check in and let everyone know that our train trip was fantastic! We have great pictures from yesterday. The drive to Marbella was interesting and was a learning experience, but it got a tad harrowing once we actually reached the city. Nonetheless, we found the hotel, found a place to park the car (a few hours later) and were able to get settled in well. The place where we are staying in Marbella is like a little apartment. It has a tiny little kitchen and a living room. It is very quaint and comfortable.

We spent today sleeping and hanging out at the beach. It is just unfathomable - even as I am standing there- that we could possibly be on the Mediterranean! Crazy! It is as beautiful as I pictured and all the stereotypes are here :)

We had some trouble finding access to a computer (the hotel has free wi-fi, but we dont have a laptop), but we stumbled across a place where we can pay by the hour. Right now we are getting directions so that we don´t have to drive blind into a new city like we did yesterday to/in Marbella. After that we will get cleaned up and join everyone for a late dinner. There are a lot of tourists here and a lot of languages spoken. The town is exactly what I would picture... winding roads just wide enough for Ramon and I to walk side by side, hills and more hills, bouganvilla everywhere, sleepy dogs, and cafes everywhere. It is wonderful.

We´ll try to add pictures tomorrow (really!). They are really something!
