the view from here
18 Friday Jun 2010
A couple of iPhone shots taken yesterday from the apartment terrace … the beach when I arrived and the port just before I went to bed. I can’t imagine coming to Málaga and not staying here at Manolo’s place. It really feels like home. And it isn’t just the terrace views that are different – I feel different here. Maybe it’s the sea?
Anyhow, very busy day as I am just about to go meet Victoria, spend the morning at the bodega and then head out to the vineyards at noon to meet with the American group. More later…
trains
17 Thursday Jun 2010
So I’m hopping the train to Málaga this morning…
I always get a bit nervous before a trip, even a short one like this. I guess because I don’t do it very often. But this time I am taking the bare minimum since it will probably be just overnight (slight chance of staying until Saturday). It’s kind of nice travelling so light. Well, except for Shadow, who is rather heavy. But I couldn’t leave home without him.
And I was thinking how travelling by train is my favourite way to go. Planes terrify me, buses make me sick, cars are okay in that you can stop whenever you want … but for straight A-to-B travel I really think trains are the best. And notice I didn’t even mention boats.
What’s your favourite way to travel?
pain in the ash

Yes it is awesome and quite breathtakingly beautiful, but…
It has also screwed up the travel plans of thousands of people, including my friends Teuchter and her husband J, who should have arrived in Spain last Saturday. For months they’ve been planning their tour of Andalucía, which would’ve also included a couple of days in Sevilla. We’ve been emailing back and forth with different plans and ideas. It was all very exciting because the last time T&J were here was five years ago and we were so looking forward to getting together again. Bum.
Been following the stories on Twitter, of people who are either stranded elsewhere or stuck at home. It really is unprecidented and in a way quite fascinating. But what a mess.
Anyone you know get stuck or stranded?

Today’s photohunt theme is “foreign”.

When I went to Morocco last year it was the first time in my life that I had the distinct sensation of being somewhere “foreign”, even though I have visited and lived in different countries (and continents) over the years.
