I’m so sorry it’s been so long. Honestly I’m tired when we get back to the hotel. Each day is a lot of walking and sightseeing. They have I’m assuming wonderful public transportation including metro, buses, trains etc but we have not stepped on one of them. Our hotel is near the Spanish Steps which puts us in walking distance of quite a bit. Don’t get me wrong, you need to be a serious walker to do this as it’s about 20 minutes to the steps if you fin...

Another day, another amazing adventure. We drove up to Ronda today. We met a couple from New York in the hot tub (not really hot by the way) and had a great conversation about Spain and life in general. We mentioned going to Ronda the next day and they right away discouraged us from traveling along the fastest route which cuts a path through the mountains and is filled with hairpin turns and the fact that you’re hugging the mountain side on the way up and wishi...

Finally we went far enough away that we found a parking space. While trying to figure out the meter system we were offered help from an older man who communicated ...

Unfortunately the weather was overcast so no Africa view. We walked through ancient churches which had been carved into the rock, neighborhoods with narrow streets, and the central square which had shops for the tourist and a restaurant, one of many where we had a la...

Today was a trip to Tangier’s, Morocco. I never dreamed I’d touch land in Africa. It was absolutely amazing. We had a 2 hour bus ride passing the Rock of Gibraltar, then an hour ferry ride. We disembarked and jumped on to another bus, touring around Tangier’s stopping for photos, a camel ride, the caz barr, lunch and shopping at the souk then back to the ferry. Lunch was really different but super yummy. Fresh orange/mango juice topped off the meal. Bill ...
