We encountered Walter, Georgia’s husband (Georgia was a coworker of Rachael’s at the time) in the Portland airport, and sat next to him on the flight to Frankfurt. We were upgraded to business class for some reason, and I enjoyed greater legroom and meal choices. We were charged only $20/box for the bicycles.

We arrived in Malaga on time, with the bikes arriving in great shape for the five mile ride to our hotel. We ate at a nice vegetarian restaurant after a short walk above the city along the ramparts of the Alcazaba.

Today's ride: 7 miles (11 km)
Total: 7 miles (11 km)
