a day of driving...


It was a long drive from Alicante today, though shorter than expected.  We were unable to leave the city, though, until after 5pm, which kind of put a damper on the beginning of the day.  We were able to spend a little time in the sun.  You would never guess that we have spent the last 5 days in such sunny places.  We are pale as pale can be.  Hopefully we will get some sun in the next few days.  

We are currently in Algecira, Spain, which is between Gibraltar and Cadiz.  Our drive here, though a long one, was a beautiful one.  It took us from the sea up to the mountains and back to the sea.  Sasha & Brooke, we drove into Malaga at sunset tonight, coming down the mountains and seeing the Mediterean on the horizon...BEAUTIFUL!  You guys are so lucky to be flying in here.  You are going to love it...at least from what we saw! I tried to get some pictures of the drive, but unfortunately going 170 km/hr on the autoroute is not ideal for good quality photographs!!  

We decided to spend two nights here since the house in Portugal is only about 4 hours from here.  Tomorrow we are hoping to learn how to windsurf!  Tarifa (15km from here) is the windsurfing capital of Europe! So, hopefully the next time we see all of you, we will not only have published a book about our crazy adventures, but also have turned pro as windsurfers! :-)  Hopefully I can update you all tomorrow on the status of that endeavor!
