Cadiz, Andalucia: Located just 9 miles from the Alantic Ocean.
It is known for it's Sherry, Andalusian horses, churches and parks.
We arrived at 8:00 this morning a very cool 56 degrees but sunny. The Captain docked right into the heart of this lovely city with 180,000 inhabitions, the oldest city in Spain. Sorry the photos will have to wait.
After breakfast we enjoyed Dieter Galler's lecture on the history of Spain and how we in the Americas relate and have enjoyed each other culture for centuries. By the time we cleared customs and allowed to disembark it was almost noon. It was 1PM before Marlene and I could tour the city while Jack and Dee (Marlene's patient) rested. By now the temperature had reached 70, very comfortable, great excersise but not for the weak. The streets are narrow and steep all cobble stoned. Most of the shops were closed to reopen at 5:00, the restaurants and bars they were opened.
We leave here at 9PM and reach Giabralter at midnight, I shall try to stay awake until then, seeing it again at night should be spectacular I would think.
A late night show should keep us busy until then. Or who knows maybe the Casino.
