Been there once before, but it totally blew me away again! So beautiful and cozy...Went there with our whole class, and went for a minibus-tour with a local guide - Jerry, our guide, was the best guide ever; so humorous and spontanious. I saw a lot of "new" things and had a blast!! The sight of Morocco really impressed me, but the deepest impression came from the apes - so cute and human-like! Why couldn't I just grab one with me back home??Anyway, really worth visiting, and if you go, choose...

This was a fun city. took the best tour. a taxi tour to the top of the rock, pillars of hercules, st. michael's caverns, seize tunnels, and the barbary apes. all for 25 euro. best euro spent. i ate good steak and kidney pie. NOTE: beware of the barbary apes. they will take your hat and purse. they belong to gibraltar, they have their daily shots and vaccines. Gibraltar is a British overseas territory located near the southernmost tip of the Iberian Peninsula overlooking the Strait of Gib...

Casey and I went down to Gibraltar to hang out for the day. The monkeys were hilarious.

Packed up our tent at Tarifa and spread the damp washing over the gear in the van.  The van has been leaking oil from the left hand front so it is a daily routine to check it in the morning.  The owner at the car hire firm knows about it but the mechanic doesn't know from where it originates.  If the oil pressure switch is over on that side, then I would hazard a guess it has something to do with it as it only leaks when the van has been travelling so it appears to happen ...

some r&r in the south of spain, to partying it up in madrid for europride, and day trips to historic cities in central spain. (pix only. words might come later.)

I'm been to Europe on a few different occasions, but some of them seem so long ago, it seems easiest just to put the pictures together in one blog.

Ed and I traveled with another couple for 5 days and then joined a Globus tour of Spain. We saw a lot and really enjoyed learning more history and seeing this beautiful country.

Gibraltar is relatively small, located on a small peninsula in southern Spain. This area has been coveted by many different empires because of its strategic location on the confluence of both the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Today, it is owned by the British as a territory. The main characteristic of Gibraltar is the huge rock rising 1,396 feet from the ground, a truly majestic sight. The city below is heavily influenced by the British. English is the official language, but Spani...

We spent 3 weeks traveling through Spain with an old high school buddy and my daughter, Lisa. We started out driving with our friends for 5 days then joined a Globus bus tour in Madrid. Great trip, saw a lot of Spain and had a great time!
