4th of July in Cadiz, Spain
Monday, July 4, 2011 at 02:16PM Our marina is kind of plain. The town is 1/2 mile away with very small streets with more motorcycles than cars and trucks. Today we went to town and went to a market first (it is a fresh produce/meats). After that, we went to a park where Graeme made a friend with a little girl his age. The thing I miss most about home is my own space, but in our room on the boat we have a blanket for a wall dividing our bed in half.
All the streets are made out of cobblestones and tile that are put in by hand. It is pretty neat, but it is very hard to ride scooters on it. To get here (Cadiz), we sailed for two days and two nights from Sines (Portugal). I was seasick for the entire time, but the medicine helped.
IF you get a fruit ice cream here (like rasperberry), it tastes EXACTLY like the fruit from the vine. The pizza is different. IT is very thin. My favorite drink here is pineapple juice (pina nectare).
Did you know that there is a huge seawall around this city where people fish off of?
I can sort say some words in Spanish. My dad's spanish is really good, my mother's is not as good as my dads.
