Back to Sevilla

SPAIN | Saturday, 11 October 2008 | Views [513] | Comments [3]

Hello everyone, sorry it has been a while.  ok so had a fantastic time in Bercelona, definitely one of my favorite cities i have been to yet.  it is a big city but feels managable and laid back.  ended the stay with going to the beach for the day and swimming, which makes me slightly jeolous of places with warm water and also makes me want to kayak!  it was overall a wonderful place and Jace was an awesome host. 

Overnight train back south to Malaga and then stright to El Chorro, a very small town in one of the climbing meccas of spain.  beautiful limestone walls, makes me want to plan a climbing only vacation back here at some point.  also home to this crazy pathway called the Camino del Reys that is built right in to the wall of a narrow canyon some 100 meters up (look it up on google and also youtube, its crazy!  closed now for safety unless you have the proper climbing equitment which i did not, but want to walk/climb it when i return))I hiked for a day and stayed at a really cool hostel/campground run by a swiss climbing couple.  

After days headed back to Malaga, spent a very windy morning exploring the city and Alcazaba and then met up with Natalie again.  we headed for Sevilla where we are right now.  Only three days left in spain and then on to morocco which i am getting really excited about!   Time is flying, hope it is for you too mum.  will try to post some pictures soon.  the little rain and wind we have had for the last two days reminds me of home, i bet fall is beautiful!

Hi, So good to hear from you. Yes, its beautiful here. I hope to take a hike tomorrow, maybe up to Heather Lake. It sounds like the trip is great. So pleased you and Natalie are reunited in Sevilla. Get some coconut gelato for me- two scoops! Tonight we will have dinner at Hennings with Grants and Petersons. I think it will be a great to be together after a rough news week.

How are your Morocco plans shaping up? I can't believe you are approaching the mideast part of your trip. Have fun. I love you so much. Please give Natalie a BIG hug from me. Mom

Sounds awesome so far! Shannon and I are in the south of Greece, exploring before we fly to Cairo. See you there!

Oh just making sure, you are flying over Libya? As I was reading about it, it looks like you can't cross the country without an organized group.
