... 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. That's definitely a mistake I haven't repeated!!! But lets see, a few groups of students ended up grouping together on the train since we were all headed towards the same destination. 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 ...

... set up a little ladder so that the mice could drink the sherry out of a wine glass!


Then we went to the horse show. Very similar to what the Lippanzaner Stallions do. It was…an experience…but I don’t think I’ll ever go watch something like that again. But I can at least say that I've seen it.

... 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 ...

... Spanish side wasn’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 “Saw It” 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…

... spaans, jaja da lukt ook al 'zeveren int spaans', wie had da gedacht seg :-) Dan toch maar besloten om door te gaan, nen taxi genomen tot aan ons app, 1.5 euro de man, wa zeer goe meevalt, toch? Scheurend van den honger, paar cakejes in mijne mond gestoken (ja der is hier snachts niks meer open, pitta's kennen ze hier ni, snif) en in mijn bed gekropen.

... fa impazzire di gioia. Allora andiamo diretti a Puerto de Santa Maria. La strada č pianeggiante e nell'ultima parte siamo costretti a percorrere l'autovia, in mezzo ad un traffico troppo veloce per i miei gusti. Andiamo veloci anche noi, 50 kilometri in meno di due ore. Neanche una salita, non ci sembra vero. Il paese č grazioso, le spiagge perdibili. Facciamo una sosta in un baretto presso la ...

... 2 hours. At some point during my wandering, I realized I no longer was in possession of my return bus ticket. To make matters worse, I had spent all of the cash I brought (11 euro, hah), and my cell phone was out of battery. After somehow finding my way to the bus area, I spotted a guy in CIEE and tried to board his bus. I got rejected, however, and I finally found the bus with everyone else just as it was pulling out. Walking around again, I eventually came across ...

There comes a time when the road beckons once more and I find that I can not resist it's fair song. la la la... Whatever. My friend Jillian (of Lamb Goggles fame) was living in Cadiz where she worked at a hostel called Caracol. I needed sun, I found a cheap flight with 'We'll treat you like **** because that's what you are airways' and off to Madrid I went. Armed with a scrap of paper and Jillian's expert instructions (it's kind of near the ...

... ceremony, we went to the hotel lobby for drinks. Dinner was a bit later and very good. There was another break while the room was changed around then we came back in for drinks and dancing. Of course, when the Bee Gee´s were played that got the best crowd participation. :) I got free drinks most the night from various people I met when they found out I was traveling from outside the country...that was great! We stayed up kind of ...
