This weekend was a 3 day weekend and I went with my host family to Benalmádena. This weekend marks my third weekend traveling along the Mediterranean after Barcelona and Alicante. Benalmádena is a town in the south of Spain in between Málaga and Marbella. My host family has a small two room apartment there. We left on Thursday afternoon and arrived Thursday evening at dinner time, 10PM. On Friday we went to the beach for the morning and then to Puerto Banus for the afternoon and evening. I had gone to Puerto Banus before. It is a really rich port with brand names and fancy cars. On Saturday we went to the beach again for the morning and relaxed around the apartment for the rest of the day. On Sunday we returned to Madrid. Throughout the trip we ate out. And my host Dad, being the food connoisseur that he is, took us to delicious restaurants. I had a ton of great seafood. In my previous travels and I have been with other exchangers and we don’t have the financial resources to enjoy the Spanish Food as it should be enjoyed. Overall, it was a really nice trip. This week I don’t have anything super big going on. Friday there is a graduation dinner for all the “seniors” from my school. On Saturday my real Mom is coming to visit me and she will be here for 8 days. As of today I have a month left. That isn’t much time, and I think it is going to go too fast. But I’ll try to enjoy it as much as I can before it is over.
