First week in Malaga

The first week is already over. It was a nice, but pretty tiring week. Lots of grammar and another 3 hours of conversation class every day. Grammar isn’t too bad, but I need to work on my vocabulary.

The city of Malaga is very big, but the city centre is very nice. There are lots of old buildings, a very large cathedral and because it’s located at the shore there are beaches and a harbor. Pablo Picasso was born here and there’s a small museum which show some of his work.

Last check-up for Linda’s bike

I (Ron) completely cleaned and checked Linda’s bike this week. The bike won’t stay this clean for long! I put on new handlebars (grips), chainrings and pulleys. Also, all bolts have been greased and turned.

Bike after check-up

I also put a new bottle holder on the bike. It’s a special one, which can carry all sorts and sizes of bottles.
