... and then there was Shannon. She was actually the one of the first people I met here in Cordoba, and I remember I accidently called her by another name the day after I met her.

One word sums up the reason why Cadiz became such a popular destination amongst the ...

... to communicate. We were able to watch Flamingo dancing at the center in town as there was a special performance that night and the star was a young man who grew up in Cadiz and Loly and her husband have known as a child. After the show we went to lunch with Sergio and Oscar their sons. Oscar is older and speaks a little English and looks just like Jon Vaglio. Crazy. That morning both sons were at a casting call for a movie to be made with Tom ...

Today was the second and last excursion we did through Holland America. Jacqui had wanted to see the Andalusian horse show, and we could also get in a sherry tasting with it! <br><br>First off was the tour of the Gonzales Byass winery. I'm not a big fan of the normal sherries, but I love the sweet sherries. And it was cheap. I got a ...

... something to see. After the show we headed to another white village town called Arcos de la Frontera. This was another cobble stoned hillside town set among 2 churches and a convent. We had a nice lunch and walked around the town. The streets were narrow and tiny and mike did a great job of navigating through the narrow roads (he's getting much better)...we left and started our 2.5 hour drive from there to Nerja our destination for the next 7 days ...

... Spanish side wasn&#8217;t overly-motivated to make it easy for tourists to enter Gibraltar. It looked like at least an hour wait, and it was hot, so after a u-turn, and a picture on the way out, and ticked Gibraltar off the &#8220;Saw It&#8221; list and headed north, up the coast. But the history and symbol of Gibraltar as entrance to Mare Nostrum and as a wartime bunker were not lost on me&#8230;<br ...

Moesten we een keer allemaal apart op haar bureau komen om een onderwerp van een taak te bespreken, kregen Kirsten en ik te horen dat ze toch wel liever heeft dat we onze papers handgeschreven afgeven!

... het Museum de Andalucia (Fine Arts museum of Sevilla) staat op ons programma en is een hele beleving als we, gratis nog wel, niet alleen een indruk krijgen van het oude Mudejar gebouw, maar ook een practige collectie zien krijgen van Andalucische schilderkunst van af de 15 eeuw (Gotische), met de renaissance stijl van de 16 de eeuw, de 17de eeuw met zijn baroque stijl, de invloed van de Vlaamse school in de 17 de eeuw en de effecten van daarvan in de 18de eeuw.

... the hardest part is yet to come- going home and having culture shock from the United States. Sitting here in my cabin somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic I know that I will never be the same. At this point in my life I couldn't tell you why but I am going to be doing a lot of traveling. I not totally sure why but I just need to. Visiting all these places has given me a little window into what is really out there and I want to know more. There are tons of places that need ...

... have flowed over the area so often that every second hilltop boasts a ruined castle or fort. Above Aracena is the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores, built by the Knights Templar you know. Above it rises the remains of a 13th century castle, built by the Portuguese. It's a complete ruin with crumbling walls and collapsed towers. We visited, as you should, on a day the hill top was shrouded in cloud, rain sleeted across the open spaces, the wind ...
