Vaca to Andalucia, Spain

Matthias and I spent a relaxing 9 days in the south of Spain in the region of Andalucaia. We wined and dined at a Marriott Resort/time share in between Marbella and Estepona and lived like ballers. With our lovely friends and family rate of 55€/night (what a steal!) we walked around like we paid 200€/night like everyone else at the resort. The 9 days flew by fast but we were still able to get a lot in and still be able to do nothing! Luckily we brought our new Canon 450D with us to capture our adventure through out Spain!

The red 'X' is where we stayed


The Marriott Resort

...from our room


...from the beach


Built some sand castles


Drank (many) Sangrias and listened to music while basting in the sun at the pool


Went hiking and found a tipi


Stood on top of the world



I was reintroduced to my friend, the beach


Ate the BEST steaks and fish at this restaurant ( I swear we did not go there 2 nights in a row...)


Went to see a bull fight


Went to Morocco


Rode a Dromedary (one humped camel)


and of course got a good 3 or 4 'sun' days and now I don't feel like I match the color of our pale walls!

I do have to admit, I could get used to these 28 days of paid vaca in Germany...our next vacation will be in Sept. when Matthias and I join my Asian fam on a trip to China. That being said, I don't know the next time we will be visiting the U.S. So here is everyone's invitation to Düsseldorf!
