Paco woke up at 5:30 am. Our alarm was set for 6, but we were woken up at 5:53. We quickly got ready, already having packed the night before, then ate some yogurt and bread and fruit. Paco left 20 before we actually had to leave to "get the car ready." Really he was just ready to go haha.
As we drove, Paco started to discuss with us how getting ready early was so much better than being late. When early, you can drink cafe con leche with your colleagues before the work day starts. We parked in the underground deck once we got to the train station. Paco parked backing up like many other cars, and we could just barely open the trunk. He tried re-parking, and it was hilarious. He repeatedly almost hit the car parked behind him, and mind you he was trying to park so that it would be easier to close the trunk. I had to get him to stop a couple times to avoid a collision. It was so funny seeing the opened-trunk car backing up and parking worse than it had been. Eventually, and with much laughter from the three of us, Paco succeeded.
We had some bitter (for me, thus like straight sugar for the rest of the coffee-drinking world) cafe con leche in the Renfe train station, and then walked to the line of checking baggage. Paco waited until the train left before leaving, bless him. He always waits until the train or plane leaves before leaving his family member--what if there is a delay or cancellation?
The ride was good: all I did was listen to music and read Rook. We ate potato chips out of a big-ass bag that V noisily opened in, of course, a particularly silent part of the trip. We laughed really hard. Ab workout for the day: check.
We got to Málaga around 2:30. Abuelita ( my grandmother), and Chari, her sister and our great-aunt, were there waiting for us. After the great greeting, Chari went to her house in Málaga proper while the other three of us went to the bus station to take a bus to Alhaurín de la Torre. Alhaurín is the town where my grandmother lives in a beautiful house. We ate pollo asado (roasted chicken) bought from this awesome, tiny pollo asado place, immediately upon getting home. Full, we chilled, read, watched a comedic show that I absolutely love called La Que Se Avecina, and a game show called Ahora Caigo. Bed was early, as I was exhausted from the long day.
