The drive to Seville was good for us, but the kids were not happy about the switch from the train. Apparently we should have consulted them first. "We can't get up and walk around in the car, and we can't get food either". Didn't matter that it was supposed to be cheaper, faster, good stops, etc. And one stop was Cadiz. We had heard about this city being the oldest constantly inhabited city in Europe. It's on a tiny little peninsula in southwestern Spain. Almos...

Great few days... Yesterday we went to Marbella to find the old town, which we heard was spectacular. Nothing is ever easy here when driving. Directions and signage are not horrible but you really have to keep your eyes open. Street signs are difficult to find, and the roads are often weird one ways, cross overs, dead ends, too narrow to pass, and all sorts of other interesting surprises! Greg and I have always found it works best with him as the driver and me as...

Tuesday we had a day of chilling. At home, by the pool, at our local beach. Good day for some relax. When you have these days your first thought Is that you're wasting time. So much to see and do. But have to keep reminding ourselves that part of this trip is about slowing things down. So you roll with it. A few times on a day like this I've looked around wondering what I should do. I'm not used to being "bored". But just like its a good things for the kids to b...

Today I'm going to tell you about our trip to Ronda. We were just about to go - we had snacks, sunscreen and stuff packed. And off we went on the road. It was about an hour and a half drive. About halfway there we stopped and took a break from the car. Me and my Dad climbed a hill covered in thorns to try to get to a viewpoint. It was really challenging but it was worth it. At the top there was a thrilling view of mountains, houses, and pools. Then we went back...

Yesterday we got up and out and headed near old town Estepona for the market. Not really sure exactly where it is but we lucked into it and parked. This was supposed to be the weekly town market so I was looking forward to lots of local fare. Unfortunately it was mostly tshirts and shoes and bags. Not as much interesting. But we found a good produce stand and filled up a bag. GIANT radishes, tomatoes and cucumber, olives. Back to the supermarket and home for bbq...
