Hello! We are still here in Spain with Dori and Narea. It has been great and G is feeling about a hundred times better, antibiotics and rest can do wonders for one´s health. We took a really enjoyable day trip to Toledo with Dori on Monday. It is a beautiful city that rises and falls with the hills and has a maze of passageways that take you through small cobblestone streets. We spent the day just exploring most of the center of city...it was a great day. We were able to see El Greco´s art work in the Catedral San Tome, which is one of the most famous works of that time period. Overall, it was just fun spending the time together and enjoying the city. We just bought our plane tickets for Morocco. We will be flying into Marrakesh, Morocco on Monday morning and will spend the next ten days of so visiting different cities throughout the country. We hope to make it to Casablanca and Fez, and have considered heading south to see the Sahara Desert, I mean, come on, it´s the Sahara....but we´ll see, you know how those plans go...ha! Fez seems like it will be amazing to see, the city is 1400 years old and is considered the spiritual heart of Morocco. The Medina is a huge market place in this city, which is comprised of winding alleys, livestock, any and all market goods, people, and bazaars. It is the world´s largest living medieval islamic city, as well as the world´s largest car free urban environment. Should be pretty amazing to see. We are excited to make it to Morocco, although Dori and Nerea have really helped us out and taken care of us while in Spain, they are good people. We had lunch with Dori´s dad and sister on Sunday and are going back this Saturday for some Paella. He is a really warm man who talks about opening a typical Spanish restaurant in Denver...which would be great. We went to the El Rastro market on Sunday, but a bit late so it was pretty calm...we are going for round two on this Sunday. Well, that is another quick update...figure we should try and keep em rolling while we have a reliable interent connection. That is all...more or less.....Later!

Hey Todd and G!!! So glad to hear you are in good hands in Spain. Gennesa, glad you are feeling better. Well all is well here. I have a job interview at a shop on University this week. I am nervous but super excited! The other day I opened my tool box and started unexpectedly crying. I think my tools miss me!! Make sure to tell Nerea and Dori hi and hugs and kisses to. What amazing and loving people they are. So, glad you met them and let us meet them too!! Lots of love and have fun!!
