Carihuela, Spain



We took a walk to the far west end of Torremolinos, crossed over the rocks you can see in the photo and found this awesome little town filled with block after block of pedestrian arcades filled with funky shops, mom & pop restaurants, and reasonably priced stores all along the sea. It seemed newer and cleaner than Torremolinos!

Torremolinos, Costa del Sol



We stayed here on Valentine's weekend. It was a nice place to get away from the hustle & bustle of Madrid! Our hotel is on the left...

One of my former students, Marco from Miami, whom we had not seen since 1997, came to visit us from Koln, Germany, with his girl-friend Diana, for New Year's Eve.
We had a great holiday reunion!
