Hostal La Giralda Rota

... spent strolling around the city, looking at some of the sights, like the Roman Ampitheater, and an exhibition that was being held in the central plaza of the city. <br> We all split up for lunch and Amanda, Lizzy, Shannon, and I found an expensive restaurant on the coast. Instead of expensive seafood, I opted for the ceaper option of bread. Don't worry though, I had ice cream later to make up for the lack of food I had consumed at lunch. On a ...

So today we didn't have an excursion because we had our own private tour guides in Rachel's host family from three years ago. They met us at the pier and were so happy to see Rachel it was great! They took us on a walking tour of historic Cadiz and we had breakfast at one of their places they like and we had churros an coffee with milk. Loly knew everyone we walked by it seemed and although they spoke no English and we speak little Spanish we were ...

... of the sweetest sherry called "Nectar" for 8 Euro. I really didn&#8217;t like their regular sherry though. They were pretty cool though. When celebrities or royalty come visit, they have them sign a barrel of Tio Pepe instead of signing a guestbook! And they have a family of mice that are sherry connoisseurs. One of the distillery ...

... show was actually really good - she just got very bored, very quickly. you see one horse dance you've seen them all...Mike took her outside to play in the courtyard. The arena is set in a beautiful garden with a fountain. They had a ton of fun running around the garden and I thoroughly enjoyed the dancing horse show. There are 8-12 horses and horsemen who come out in the arena and do the most amazing horse dances all to beautiful spanish music. It is ...

... streets at night. There might have been several million of the carnaval people in Cadiz that night, I think.<br><br>By the way, the most original and interesting costumes were of Lego; there were also a few people dressed up as Mario, the pope or Heineken bottles, but my personal best was a guy dressed up as Facebook. He was unbeatable.<br><br>Our train was scheduled for the evening, when it was already dark, and when the festival was actually about to begin. I ...

... draaien. We varen naar de uitgang van het waddengebied waar je alleen met hoogwater naar zee kan varen. Als na 14.00u. de wind opsteekt uit het westen kunnen we het haast niet geloven. Haastig maken we ons zeilklaar en motoren via de elctronische geultjes naar zee. Zo'n ophaalbare kiel met een diepgang van 70 cm is toch wel een extra dimentie, niemand doet zo iets bedenken we , als wij nog eens achterom kijken naar de tientallen schepen die daar voor anker liggen ...

... are discernible the forms of children, old women, towering men - the faithful in their every form. Some chose to march barefoot, and a few wore foot-manacles, the clink of the chains on cobblestone lending an eerie effect to an otherwise silent procession. Some carried heavy wooden crosses, some carried candles that spluttered in the sea breeze. Sombre children swung censors of incense and furtively exchanged candies, which i geuss solicited secret smiles under those black red ...

I woke up rested but still not better. The others hadn't gotten home until really late so I decided to go out and do errands while they slept. I got alot of work done at the internet cafe except that the place that they always sit me was innundated by smoke. Afterwards, I did a little shopping then cooked supper. Nicole and Kevin kept me company in the kitchen telling me what it is like to be in the US Military. It was interesting to hear what brought them to enrolling and what the climate ...

... we had a nice visit over a coffee. He wanted to go buy cigarettes and I convinced him to walk the extra 6 blocks to the supermarket. He whined about it for a few minutes bragging about how he never really leaves his comfy four block radius. I told him he probably needed the exercise then and he gave in. We picked up fruit, vegetables and milk before taking the scenic route back. When we arrived we found Jami well on his way to preparing a ...
