We're In Spain...YEAH

Yes, today is our first day in Spain, and it is a beautiful day. We started our day out watching the sun rise from our bedroom window. It was amazing to see how calm the seas were and that we were finally getting close to land. We then went up to the 7th deck and watched the ship pull into Spain. It was an amazing sight to see. After breakfast, we passed out passport to the community for those who were traveling for longer than day trips. Matt and I were then off to our own adventures. We started the morning off with a lecture on same sex marriage and Gay rights in Spain. It was very interesting, but difficult to understand the interpreter at times. We rushed through lunch and then headed off to a City Orientation of Cadiz. We walked the entire city in about 3 1/2 hours. It was long, but well worth it. We really got a good feel for the area. Spain has some of the oldest buildings and riches history in Europe. It is sad to say that Cadiz also has the highest unemployment rate at 20% and Spain has the highest unemployment rate of all of Europe. Some many people in the world are struggling right now. Well, I will keep it brief as I want to get a nap before we are off to our next adventure….Flamenco Performance!!!
