Cádiz…the wonderful beach city! This was the final stop in our Andalucian tour and the city where we got the whole day to ourselves. And before I go on, I would just like to say that BGSU is probably one of the best schools in the world because they got us into a hotel with its own beach front!! This was the view from my room…
Sweet huh? Well to get back on track…My friends and I decided that we wanted a typical dinner from Andalucia, so of course we got one of my new favorite dishes, PAELLA!
That sucker was delicioso!! We even had evidence of who ate it for a few hours after too…
During the free day, you better believe that I was all over that beach! I got a bit more of a tan to fight that winter pale that sets in around November and December. Then for the other half of the day (after my Spanish siesta of course) I went off to explore Cádiz and see what kind of adventures I would find. I saw a lot of nice things, like this:
Those two pictures of the coast are pretty much all of Cádiz, so as you can see I walked A LOT!! I’ve learned that walking is the best way to get to know a place and appreciate it a bit more. Eventually, though, I got hungry and decided that in order to save money I should get food at a supermarket. So I did and ate this for my lunch…
Be proud because that only cost me 4 Euros!! The cheese was the most expensive thing. Hehe…well eventually I ended up at the point of Cádiz that is home to the Castillo of San Sebastian and their lighthouse. I decided that it was really nice and that I should stay there for the sunset. One problem though…this big castle thing was in my way, so I hopped down onto the rocks and walked my way around. This is the point from where I got to enjoy a wonderful Spanish sunset:
And those of y’all that know me are already thinking what I am about to say…all those rocks that I had to cross to get to that amazing place were extremely moss covered. Moss + me + walking or standing = falling down. Multiply that by people who saw me fall down over and over again and you get a lot of embarrassment. Divide that embarrassment by the minutes I spent enjoying a wonderful view and you will know just how much I cared about falling.
And if you guys think Spain is great, you haven’t even seen Portugal yet!! That’s coming later this week…
