My parents came to visit us the middle of April and we had a FABULOUS time with them. We took advantage of them being here to go visit a couple of places we haven't been. One of the places we went was Antequerra, Spain where we visited El Torcal. El Torcal is a nature reserve, in the mountains, that has some of the most interesting rock formations. We had a lot of fun hiking around a bit.

| We passed this city, can't remember the name, but it was just so picturesque with the castle looming over the city. |
We also went to go see the Dolmens, they are ancient burial mounds/caves dating from 3 B.C.--apparently when they first opened these up, they found the bones of several hundred people. I have to admit, it sounded cooler than it actually was--they ended up just being like a big cave room--they needed to have left the bodies in there in order to up the coolness factor!!

Overall, we had a great time and it made for a nice side trip!
