A Guest from Pacific Grove!

Last weekend, Sally Baho, from our own St. Angela's parish community came to visit us from Córdoba, Spain, where she is studying until December.  She's here with the UC San Diego Education Abroad Program.  She's been in Spain since beginning of September and already her Spanish has improved so much!  It was really a delight to see her and to have another female in the house.
We went to the nearby town of Nerja with her to see the "Cueva de Nerja".  The cave was discovered 50 years ago by five local teenagers but it's actually thousands of years old.  Arqueological findings have found human remains  (cave paintings, et
c) from the paleolithic period (21,000-25,000 years ago).  Only a portion is open to the public and it took us about 45 minutes to go through it.   
We then went for a walk in Nerja to the "Balcón de Europa" (Europe's Balcony) where we enjoyed some beautiful views.  It's a small to
wn, but very artsy and a very cosmopolitan community.  It was a wonderful evening with breathtaking views!
