Kicked Out of Chicago

It's summer of 1966. My wife-to- be and I are enjoying the peak of our pre-nuptial romance spending every free moment, week-ends and just about every evening, together.

I’m going to try to tell you how I feel about Málaga, Spain.  This city sits right on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea in the Iberian Peninsula. The city itself is all about tourism. However, one hour, due North, on thin, unmarked roads sits the village of Sayalonga. I was there in 2015. I keep the attached photo on my favorites... Continue Reading →

Redux: “Pleased to Meet You”
