Marbella and Ronda

It's incredible how fast time has been passing by.. I have less than a week left in la duquesa (as an au pair) and then I am off to travel again! It was a beautiful sunny week and Sophie and I went out to the beach or playground almost every day! A storm is on its way and it is supposed to rain Tuesday - Friday.. Time to bring the boots, sweaters, and jackets back into use!

This weekend I went to Marbella and to Ronda! 

Marbella is a wealthy beach town just north of where I am staying. I put a message up on the Malaga au pair Facebook group, and as a result met up with Mary who is Spanish and French! We had a really nice afternoon talking and walking around marbella, eating tapas, drinking in honor of at Patrick's day, and eating sweets!  It was a really great afternoon and so nice to make a new friend in the area!

Today I went to Ronda with Sandra and Sophie! It was a very windy road and it was all the way up into the mountains. It was a beautiful town and I enjoyed walking around, playing games with Sophie, listening to music, and looking out at the amazing views!

The city is built right into the cliffs!

Flying like the birds!

Admiring the views.

I bought an overnight bus ticket to lisbon for Friday night!  

Four more countries to go and then my journey begins back to the United States.
