What's up, Africa?

Recap of last night... Flamenco was incredible. The dresses were beautiful and the talent was phenomenal! They even did a scene from the opera Carmen that I saw in Madrid last week!

This morning after another incredible breakfast we left Sevilla for Gibraltar. I'm sure most of you know that Gibraltar is actually an English speaking British territory that doesn't belong to Spain although it's located at the southern tip of the country. So the rock of Gibraltar pretty much sums up this city. It's a humongous rock that has many caves... and monkeys in it. Yes, monkeys. Wild, crazy monkeys. At the top point of this rock you can see the northern tip of Africa that is only 14 miles away! So not only did I see Africa from an English speaking country in Spain, that's not Spanish, I saw the Mediterranean sea and the Atlantic ocean... which can be seen from 3 different countries in 2 continents. Wow, and if you didn't think that was crazy enough... there was a monkey on my head today.

A sailboat with Africa in the background, cool huh?

So, these monkeys are crazy. Two of the girls on our trip were eating ice cream outside when a wild monkey started chasing them until they ended up throwing their ice cream cones on the ground... please notice what is in this monkey's hand...

Our group rode in taxi's up this rock like mountain. Every time we stopped the view just became more and more breathtaking.

Crazy monkey just chills looking at the gorgeous scenery all day, what a life

We left Gibraltar and headed for the beach! That's where I am now. After a glorious dinner... a buffet dinner... a few of us walked on the beach and attempted the typical "jumping" pictures, it just so happens these jumping pictures are in the Mediterranean Sea... no big deal right?
