On to Malaga

Hey everybody,
Today, I arrived in Malaga, my final stop in Spain. Tarifa ended up being great, although it was pretty quiet. It was nice to sit around and do some peaceful strolling after going so hard for two weeks in Morocco. Last night, a bunch of new folks came into the hostel, and we all went out for tapas. It was a really good spot with an enormous amount of food for cheap. The girls couldn't finish anything they ordered so I made a killing scooping up leftovers. Afterwards, we went to one of the bars we had been to on Saturday, and then a couple of us headed back to the beach for a little while. I ended up back at the hostel around 2 and hit the hay.
The bus this morning was at 8:40, and it ended up that five of us were coming into Malaga. There was myself, Julia from Australia, Valerie from Canada, Cris from Germany, and Sam from New Zealand. They are all really nice, and Cris and Sam are both here at the Melting Pot in Malaga. Julia and Valerie continued on up to Barcelona. This hostel is really nice, with a groovy bar and patio, plus it's right across the street from a very nice, empty beach. After we got here, I jumped into the ocean, which was freezing, but I felt like I had to do it. Following the dip, Sam and I went for a look around Malaga, which is actually quite small. Sam is taking time off before university, he's been traveling for 5 months, doing a lot of surfing. Very nice guy. We got some killer ice cream, and saw the huge cathedral here. It's very beautiful, and it was nice just to sit in the quiet for a bit. On the way back to the hostel, we saw went into the bullring, which was quite pretty in the setting sun. Sam and I stopped in at a supermarket, and came back to the hostel. Thats all for me right now, I'll get back you all soon.
