One of our tablemates is an historical re-enactor. He
damaged his hearing by standing next to too many cannons. So, now he does a one
man show about individual participants in the Civil War. He has a strong
interest in history and so do Bill and I. We discovered that we all love the
series of books written by Patrick O’Brian. The books focus on the Napoleonic
wars around 1800. He gave me some new insights into Napoleon. I have a French ancestor named after Napoleon so this is really interesting to me.
We went to see the Picasso Museum. It was well done. Picasso
was born in Malaga but didn’t live there as an adult. The city was given some
of his works by a female relative. Photography is not allowed inside the
museum.
We had to take an elevator in and out of the building
because of the steps. They led us through the basement which is an
archaeological dig. There are foundations dated from the Phoenicians and the
Romans and on through the years.
We took the following pictures outside the museum.
The stadium below was built for bull fighting.
