I got lucky with one of them a few weeks ago of a mountain outside of Malaga. While we were driving I thought it looked similar to his dad's picture so I snapped one from the motorhome and it was the same one, although I wasn't able to exactly recreate it but it sure was close.<br /><br />We will try not to get a ticket, sure don't need that extra cost! ;-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-41858730033184479262017-03-15T22:03:20.573-04:002017-03-15T22:03:20.573-04:00I still love the fact that you can re-create with ...I still love the fact that you can re-create with a lot of accuracy, the photos your father took in 1954.

It wasn't quite as bad as what people had told us but it certainly isn't relaxing. The roads have more traffic than we were expecting and it is all very built up. We haven't yet been on a quite "country" road.<br /><br />I do the reading of the emails in the car! :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-42632355529804619312017-03-15T03:44:25.465-04:002017-03-15T03:44:25.465-04:00Yes, very popular.

We would not enjoy being there during the summer, it would be a total zoo and way too much traffic, as it was there was too much traffic.<br /><br />Dad's picture is a bit dark so it isn't as easy to see the buildings and there weren't quite so many as what there are now.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-69069135482641843752017-03-15T03:40:52.151-04:002017-03-15T03:40:52.151-04:00That is what a lot of the people do there and it i...That is what a lot of the people do there and it is a great place to do it at!
