Last night in Malaga we stayed in a hostel called “The Melting Pot” which has been rated as one of the top ten hostels in the world. It had a laid back, fun, and comfortable vibe. It had a great view of the ocean, an outdoor patio hangout area, and lots of fun employees to chat with. We stayed in a dorm style room and shared it with 4 other people. I felt like I was at summer camp again sleeping in bunk beds. We had pizza for dinner which was an excellent break from my travelers’ diet- cheese, crackers, bread, and nutella.

Today is Marisol’s birthday so we celebrated by joining a pub crawl with a group from our hostel. My favorite places we went to were the discotecas because they played good dance music. One place played American hip hop/ rap music (which is rare) and then saved the best discoteca for last where they played lots of salsa and Latin music. I checked another goal off the list- I salsa danced while speaking Spanish in Spain.
Over the course of the night I clicked with one of the guys from our hostel named Will. He is from Australia but is studying in Sweden for a year, and traveled to Spain for the week. We were either wearing sweaters (or jumpers as the Aussies call it) that were cramping our style on the dance floor. We draped them over our shoulders and tied them around our neck like some of the Spaniards do. We felt like dorks, but we turned it into our running joke for the night. It was functional and fashionable.
