Close Call

I took the bus to Malaga today, and there was a very close call for me. Field trips and family vacations were always exciting until I actually had to ride in the bus/car. You see, for some reason my stomach just doesn´t handle automobiles very well. I think I have overcome the airplane sickness, but the automobiles still get to me, unless I am driving. So, within 5-10 minutes of being on the bus, I could tell this was not going to be a pleasant ride. The constant stopping and starting, bumps, and turns were not helping my stomach. And, we weren´t even out of Granada´s city center. I was really nervous when I started to look for something I could use for my sickness. Then, I wondered how I might be able to communicate this with the locals, I did think I saw some tourists on the bus, but would they be able to help me out. Luckily, the sweat on my head started to cool me, and I calmed myself down, but it was very close call for a few minutes.

Now in Malaga, I am less than a five minute walk to the beach, so I am very excited. I am not staying in the city center because I came here for the beach and I did not want to get distracted. So, the plan is to lay on the beach all day today and tomorrow, and maybe Sunday morning before I go to Sevilla. I don´t need all that much relaxation, but I haven´t been to a beach in a while (besides Barcelona), so I am ready for the toasting to begin.
