![]() The Bull ring Drive into Malaga to see the bullfight that we came back from Morocco to see. There was no bullfight. Next Sunday maybe. We stood in front of the Plaza de Toros for two hours before we found that there wasn’t going to be a bullfight. But we talked to a man from Baltimore who gets our award for the nicest American we have met in Europe. He is sailing in a boat he bought in Denmark. We also saw quite a few grubby Americans while we waited. The man from Baltimore said that the police have a bad time with the beatniks from America. We returned to the hotel and walked barefooted to the beach.
