Alright, so my Saturday began like every other day. I woke up at about noon, and went downstairs for breakfast. I then decided to go meet up with some Spanish friends in Estepona. Now that I live further away, this takes either a 15 minute car ride, or a 30 minute bus ride. Just about as soon as I made it and was hanging out with friends, my phone rings; "Hey Cj, Do you want to go to Africa tomorrow?"
The next day, we were on our way to Africa!
We traveled by boat, and it took about an hour to get to Ceuta from Algericas. It also took about an hour to get to Algericas from San Pedro. All in all, I would say that two hours for a nice day trip to Africa isn't so bad. Although a lot of the stores were closed, we ate some typical Moroccan food (kebabs) and had a nice walk. It was cool to see all the history that my host dad had explained to me on the trip to the bus station. It is always cool to live things that you learn and hear about. We walked around a lot, and wet from one side to the other. We got to see all sorts of buildings and sculptures. It was also cool because there was a parade to celebrate (more of a mourning) the end of Carnival. It was a funeral procession with a big fish sculpture, and was cool to see as well,
I am hoping to go to Granada to ski next weekend, and then the following weekend I hope to go to Madrid to visit those sites. We have Semana Blanca (white week) and I should be able to travel a little. I asked about why we have this week off (cause it's only around here) and it is because all of the other schools have time off for another holiday, and they need to make the time fair for paying teachers.
All is well, and i am living my life as well as I can. I love and miss you!
Photos soon!
