Adventures with Julie, Part I: Malaga

Julie's visits!  My first visitor!! How exciting!!  I had been feeling a little homesick like a big baby, so this is just what I needed. 

So to start the trip off right, Julie and I went out in Puertollano with my roommate, Noelia, and some of her friends.  Good times.  Please notice how I strategically only chose one picture from the whole night to post.  Hey, I'm trying to get a teaching job in the future! :)


So to start off the trip, we went to Malaga in the south of Spain.  Julie brought the rain!  We were only there for one night because the cheapest direct flight to Amsterdam left from Malaga the next morning.  Yes, people, I said Amsterdam.
Every city in Spain has an awesome catedral.



So Picasso was born in Malaga, and this is a pretty trippy painted wall of his museum. 

Some big fortress castle.  This is so normal in Spain, no big deal. Castles everywhere.




We also walked through the house/apt where Picasso was born.  It was lame, but I guess it's cool to say I've been there.


That night we went to a restaurant that advertised a flamenco show.   This is a pic of some amazing cheese.  I'm a big fan of cheese, especially Spanish cheese.

 My Spanish friends laugh at me and say I'm such a tourist for going to anything involving a live performance of flamenco.  Listen Spanish amigos, we don't have flamenco in the US.  Get over it, I'm a TOURIST! :) 

We had prime seats for the show, literally a table away.  These pictures were not taken with any zoom.  She was fantastic.






She was also very small.  I am a giant. :(

So during the show, the girl pulled Julie and I up to dance.  HYSTERICAL.  The videos are dark and sideways (my bad, can't figure out how to rotate it...), but they're great.
