Boobs

So, at about 3:00 on Saturday I decided to go to Malaga, which is on the "Costa Del Sol" of the Spanish Mediterranean. My hostel in Granada has a partner hostel in Malaga, so I got them to make a reservation for me. Buses run from Granada to Malaga every hour or so (the trip takes 1.5 hours), so I just went to the bus station and boarded the next bus.

Me gusta Malaga mucho. It definitely has the relaxed feel of a beach town, but without the trashy feeling of Panama City, etc. After finding my hostel, I walked around for an hour to enjoy the weather (about 75 degrees F with a nice breeze). I planned on going to bed early, but I ran into some people who I had met in Granada and were staying at the Malaga hostel. We socialized and played a drinking game, and I was in bed by midnight.

The next morning I went to the Picasso museum (Picasso was born in Granada), and then headed to the beach with a couple people. Although I probably should have guessed it, the beach was topless. As an American not used to these things, I took note of the situation, considered the pros and cons, and have determined that it´s a good thing. Honestly, the whole thing seemed unremarkable after a few hours; you just accept it as normal. It was an interesting experience, nonetheless.
