the castle on a hill

pretty spanish cathedral. in my opinion, spanish catholics showed the most devotion to their religion

we got sick of asking people who couldn't speak english to take our picture and then it not turn out the way we wanted, so chris started using the timer...

after a day at sea {which was relaxing after running around for a week} we spent a day in malaga. we toured through a huge spanish cathedral, a neat castle, saw the torro stadium {for bullfighting} and then walked around the city. chris had been craving some jamon cerrano {which is spanish cured ham}. while we were walking around chris spotted a butcher shop so of course we had to go in to see if they had jamon. it made me sick instantly because there were tons and tons of pig legs hanging up all over the place {i knew they were legs becuase the hoofs and hair were still in tact} and it smelled like rotting meat. to make things much better, there was a guy trying out the blood sausage {i'm not gonna describe what that is, if you're that curious ask chris}. so i waited outside while he made his precious jamon purchase. he tried and tried to get me to taste it but i was stubborn and didn't even have one bite. he even tried to get a spaniard woman to convince me but i couldn't get the smell and site of the shop out of my head. next we went to the market. i was thinking it would be similar to the market we saw in nice but boy was i wrong. other than the market and the butcher shop, malaga was absolutely lovely.
