Seville, Spain
Seville is a beautiful city worth the stop. When we arrived, we decided to take a tour of the city on a horse drawn carriage. As you will see below, Graydon‘s eyes looked very puffy after only 20 minutes following a horse. We immediately had to go to the pharmacy to find some Benadryl.
Tangier, Morocco
Although we only spent 1 day in Tangier, I felt that was enough for us. I hate to pick on Africa, but it is definitely my least favorite continent. The gaps between the haves and the have nots are so great that you spend the majority of your time telling everyone that you’re not going to buy every souvenir that was ever made. It was a memorable day but I still wasn’t feeling the vibe of being somewhere completely different as I sometimes thrive on.
Tarifa Spain
I had always been intrigued by how close Europe is located to Africa for some reason. As we finished up Portugal at the very bottom and we were heading back into Spain, we decided to come to this port town to cross the straight of Gibraltar. We passed about a thousand windmills on our drive down and it was quite easy to see Africa driving into Tarifa. Tomorrow we are going to take the ferry into Tangier for a quick adventure around Morocco before we start our path towards Madrid for our flight home in the next few days.

Lisbon, Portugal
Lisbon was a nice stop along our path. I wasn’t aware that in the 1700’s, they had a massive earthquake that destroyed 85% of the capital city. The bridge below which looks like the Golden Gate Bridge was built by the same architect. Here, we said goodbye to Juan and Angelica. We’re heading south and they’re off to Paris. Thanks for coming and spending the time.
