Ac Hotel La Linea Cádiz

Hello again!<br> As I said previously, I'm going to jump around a bit and not just go day by day in this blog. Therefore, this entry begins on September 19th on a train heading to Cadiz, Spain. This was my first adventure in Spain with my friends outside of Cordoba, my first excursion. <br> Honestly, I can't even remember exactly how I met all the people I've become close with on this trip. Well, I guess that's not true. I already told you how I met ...

... and democrats were political parties and the house and senate were the governing bodies but he just wasn&#8217;t budging. We both just gave up. I&#8217;ve done my fair share of traveling but that was seriously odd. <br><br>Tomorrow we head to Rabat to get visas for Mauritania and Mali, so we will be there for 3 days minimum. While we wait the group will take an hour and a half long train ride to Casablanca where we can choose to stay overnight or return to the campsite.

... strange because it's a fishing town..) and watched the passing parade in a few of the plazas. The whole of Spain seems to sleep in and stay up late, hanging out in the plazas, sipping drinks and eating tapas :)<br><br>The next day we headed to the other beach which was in the new town - it was bigger and nicer than the one we visited the previous day but it got too hot to lie on the beach.. I think we didn't do much ...

... you can still get something to eat, it messes up your routine). Did some laundry, which must have been a brilliant idea because a lot of people had it at the same time. But I just had one load. In my desperation for reading material, I gave the ship library a more careful look. I got three books. I've already started Alice Sebold's book about a woman who kills her mother (who is in her late 80s and has dementia). I assumed it was a mercy killing, but it wasn't ...

... is often considered to have the funniest people in Spain. The whole city lives the carnival for more than two weeks and the presence of this fiesta is almost constant in the city throughout the year with the rehearsals, representations and contests. The feeling of this carnival is the sharp criticism, the funny play on words and the imagination in the customes, more than the glamorous ...

... the beach with dozens of kitesurfers. Kitesurfing is a very cool, in sport these days. It looked quite difficult to me especially since the wind was so strong. After leaving the bus we walked up the main drag which was full of kitesurfing and windsurfing stores. The town had a definite hip vibe to it with lots of young people and backpackers. We at least had backpacks.:-) We found a hostel nearby which was quite spartan (a trend). After walking through town to the ...

... Pounds headed down to the Marina. The boat headed out into the bay, only about 1km off shore and right there in front of us were a pod of dolphins. This is opposed to the Portugal one where we had to use a fast boat to get out to the area where the dolphins are usually found (it took about 40 mins at 75kms/hour so we were a LONG way off shore). I couldn't beleive we were so close to shore. The dolphins swam around, came up under the boat and generally frolicked in the ocean for us ...

... about the lack of gas in out apartment which leaves us with no hot water, and no stove.... Apparently, the way to get your propane tank refilled here in Cadíz is to stand outside some man´s house and yell up to him, and hope that he comes to the window to help you.... So, I´m thinking he might be out of town.....cause we´re still with out.. :) Other than that, just planning my trip home.... If ...

... not to think of the recent suicide bombers in London (the second group had just recently been caught in the act, so it was all over the news again), tried so hard not to think of the bmobings that had happened in Morocco a couple of years ago, tried so hard not to be scared, tried so hard not to stereotype. But it happened--he got more intense, raised his voice a few times, made defiant hand gestures, talked about Allah, and kept up the dramatic speech, gestures and intense eye ...

Crazy adventure for 3 weeks in Tangier, Asilah, Chefchouen (Rif Mtns). We really hadn't a clue what we were doing but arrived in Tangier at night with nothing booked & a guide book that suggested some where. But we met 3 more people on the flight with nothing booked either & a place picked from their guide book which turned out to have no room at the inn. So the 5 of us tried the one in our book which once upon a time had been a fab hotel. It was on the edge of kasbah over ...
