Tres Jotas Conil de la Frontera

... went in the ocean while in Spain. Reid, Aaron, Shannon, Lizzy, and I braved the cold and made our way out into the sea, The water was beautiful,as was the beach; and it was such a relaxing day. We picniced, sunbathed, and talked the afternoon away. We also learned on this trip that buying food from the market is a lot cheaper than eating out everyday (this is also something I should probably take back with me to SD). We walked back late in 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 ...

... set up a little ladder so that the mice could drink the sherry out of a wine glass!<br><br><br>Then we went to the horse show. Very similar to what the Lippanzaner Stallions do. It was&#8230;an experience&#8230;but I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll ever go watch something like that again. But I can at least say that I've seen it.<br>

... the way we stopped in Olvera so Mike could get his photo of the village and church tower. We arrived to Nerja very late and couldn't plug in the address in our handy-dandy gps - so we had to call the owner in the UK to give us directions. it was kind of late by the time we got to the house (after midnight). ugh! this was a long, long day! But, we're excited to be at the beach for the next 7 days. Shae can't wait to get her feet wet in the mediterranean.<br>

... up as bees, butterflies, doctors and other things. I thought I might have drunk too much, but my friends noticed that too. We tried to overhear some conversations to find out what was going on, but it was hard because of the noise of the ocean. Little did we know that Cadiz was about to transform that night into a giant stage for a festival of I-don't-know-and-I-don't-want-to-know-w hat, with people dressing up, dancing, drinking, smoking and making out in ...

... du für einen Moment inne, genießt diesen Moment und kannst Dich auch noch lange Zeit an solche Dinge **inn**n. Anfang Septemb** waren wir für eine Woche in Deutschland und haben uns nach Wohnungen umgeschaut und and**e Dinge für Deutschlanf vorb**eitet. Teilweise nimmt und saugt man die Dinge ganz and**s auf als vor uns**em Auslandsaufenthalt. Wir waren z.B. in ein** Bäck**ei, haben uns staunend die Brötchen angeschaut und sup** gefrühstückt. Du kannst auch z.B ...

... dann abgeholt werden, haben sie eine Riesenglück in eine Familie zu kommen oder eben nicht (Was mit den nicht abgeholten Hunden passiert, will ich gar nicht wissen..) Auf jeden Fall haben wir den kleinen, jetzt neun Wochen alten Hund adoptiert. Er ist richtig süß aber frech und fordert uns. Die Nächte sind sehr entspannt mit ihm, aber morgens geht es dann los. Jetzt schläft er grad neben mir in seinem Körbchen. WOW. Auf dem Gelände hier gibt es noch weitere zwei Hunde ...

... slept in the desert, dressed in traditional dress, wore turbans, stayed in a traditional Riad, smoked hookah, abandoned the sketchiest hostal (comparable to Riobamba but surprisingly run by HI), regularly crammed five kids in cars with spots for three, chased down trains, tried herbal remedies from a traditional medicine man, had snakes wrapped around our necks, smelled some of the worst smells ever and survived!!!!!! Now onto Spain! I´m taking over the translating!

... en in een busje gestopt, maar het helpt natuurlijk niks. Wel wat angstig om van dichtbij mee te maken. Laatst dreigde een jongen opgepakt te worden vanaf de groene pier, hij werd achterna gezeten en kon geen andere kant meer op dan de plomp weer in. Hij leek niet te kunnen zwemmen (of zou hij dat spelen?) Langzaam haalt hij toch weer de rode pier. Ook was ik eens op de kade aan het rondkijken. Komen er opeens een stuk of zeven jongens aangerend met eentje op 100 meter ...

... Ticket bought for Ceuta, and an afternoon to spare, we headed to Gibraltar with low expectations but feeling we really should make the effort as we were passing by. Expectations were fulfilled. Got stuck and lost in streets far too narrow for Bronwen, the only place we could park was Safeways (no Morrisons here yet), and the main street is full of cheap electrical goods and booze interspersed with UK high street shops. We did take advantage and stock up on essentials ...
