Spain 2

Postcard picture from Toledo. Literally. You can either walk the long walk or go to a side store and buy the same picture on a postcard. We felt pride in taking our own (and still bought the postcard!)

OK, funny story...we went to the town you take to catch the ferry to Morocco, I can't remember the name of the town. It was a surf town. Anyway, I wound up sending this man to Jail! oy! We parked on the side of the road and this man approaches us and we somehow understand that he wants us to pay him money to watch over our car or else he will do something to it. We say no, and he pretends he is going to break off our side mirror. We look down the road and see all the mirrors broken and key marks. Fuck! I think! I'm pregnant, don't speak the language, it's getting dark...FUCK!
Dave says 'screw it' and starts to walk away. We then realize we have stuff in our card (backpacks etc...) and we go back and give him some coins and hope he'll be on his merry way! So, 2 blocks down are some other American's with the Spanish police. The police are looking at the damage to the car, and stupid me tells them that it was that man in the...um..'azul pantelones'? "Que?" "Como?" FUCK FUCK!!
He's watching me talk to the police and then the police ask us to get IN THE POLICE CAR and they drive us to the station. We give our statement and the man spaks only little english. They then just send us on our way! NO WAY! I made them drive us back to our hotel and we left the town! I was such a wimp, but we were staying in a sketchy part of town and I didn't feel good about it at all! SO, this is where we went! Veyre de la frontera. HIGHLY recommend for some real LOCAL's. It was beautiful!

Of course, while in Granada (or sevilla) you must see some Flamenco dancers.
Expensive? Yes, but you must.

We were there during the religious festival, Semana Santa. This is one of the MANY parades.

Oops! This is Toledo also. The gate to the city.
