Dressage and curbing (in Jerez)
While it appears beautiful, the horses are pranced around in uncomfortable positions. Much of it seems to show animal tricks or man's dominance over horses. I don't think Buck would approve.
Maya's Tatoo
We joked a lot with Maya during the trip that we were going to get a tatoo together, a customary bond of travelers
Almunecar
The day after arriving to Malaga from Jerez, we took a bus to Almunecar on Costa del Sol. The city center of Malaga is very nice. The outskirts are littered with tall apartment buildings along the coast. About 30% of Malaga residents are foreignors. Along the coast it is 60% foreignors. Most foreignors dont interact with the Spaniard on a frienship level. Some of it is by choice, language annd culture.
Sunset in Cadiz
The city has very natural beaches with waves for surfing. The winds can get pretty crazy here though.

Volcanic Coral Rock
This stone is carved from the ocean floor and basically is the material used for Cadiz construction. It is really substantial. It is mined, carved from the navigation channels.
Chanced Meeting of Fellow Oregon Ducl
In Puerto Santa Maria, we met a fellow Duck from the same business school. It is the guy to the far left. He spent 4 years in Eugene, about 7 years before Todd and me.
