    Motril, Spain

    Today in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 63 °F

    MCL excursion of El Torcal and the ancient cobbled stone city of Antequita (old city). Nice 2 hour bus ride each way. We had pizza at a local restaurant with Wayne and Laura. We drove to Malaga and then on up the mountain to see the most unusual rock formation. Some flatten rocks reminds you of IHOP stack of pancakes. The area is famous for citrus fruits of lime and lemon plus olive trees, papaya and avocados. Very good day. Beautiful area.

    I walked “the el Camino”

  • Cádiz, Spain

    Yesterday in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 66 °F

    I slept in. Glenn did the bicycle with Jeff. We had arrangements for Norma, worker that lives 30 minutes from the port. She drove us to her ministry office. She had some folks come and teach Spanish to some ladies that have immigrated from North Africa.

    Katia and Josh drove over from Málaga Spain and shared the day with us. They work in member care to the missionary kids with Avant.

    Norma shared her testimony however I was very tired and sleepy. So I dozed off.

    We all then walked to a local and typical Spanish restaurant. Jeff and Kathy enjoyed seafood. Glenn and I shared a pork check. It was very tender.

    We stopped at a grocery store to purchase some goodies for our steward and other folks.

    We returned back to the NCL Viva by 4pm.
