Spain: Day 3

The next day we spent in Malaga and it was really fun as well!  After a late night, we had to drag ourselves out of bed to get out on Friday morning but it was another lovely day in Spain!  Today I set out with a bit of a sunburn, so the locals kind of looked at me funny b/c A. they didn't think it was warm enough to go to the beach and B. they don't get sunburns---but I had fun so that was all that matters!  We met up with Emily and Clare again to explore the Alcazaba (fortress) and the palace.  It was absolutely beautiful as well, and I especiall liked the flowers beginning to grow there.  After that we all went to the Cafe de Madrid and Emily introduced us to churros con chocolate.  Amazing!  It was just like "american" churros except there was no sugar and cinamon and instead you dip them into this really thick hot chocolate stuff!  Muy sabroso!  Oh and we learned the "spoon test" which is to test the thickness of the chocolate.  You see if you spoon floats on top and if so it is perfect for this dessert!  I liked it a lot, but it was really intensely chocolate!  We went back to the Mercadona (grocery store) and picked up some more crackers, cheese, and mandarinos and then headed to the beach.  We all enjoyed another siesta on the beach.  That night, we met up again to hang out again in the city and try some more "spanish" food.
