Hello from Los Canos de Meca, Spain, Still Cruising Options

[DonTraver]

I’m about half way between Cadiz and Gibraltar at a beach resort. I rented a apartment for a couple of weeks. I’m taking a holiday from the holiday. Last time I took a break was August of last year with my friends Henrik & Marie north of Hamburg on my way back from Denmark and Sweden.

Spent a week in Malaga and Seville. There’s a really neat Auto museum in Malaga. They were playing Elvis over the PA. Saw a 56 T-bird, DB4 Aston, Caddies with BIG fins, and a bunch of other neat cars.

Seville is drop dead gorgeous. Saw Christopher Columbus’s tomb in the Cathedral, a Spanish Galleon on the River, the Alcazar Palace, Flamenco Dance show, Spanish Square, and a couple of museums. Got lost while on a walk, but who cared, you see some really neat stuff just walking around.

Oh yeah, the mini skirt is alive and well in Spain and they wear it so well. I could watch them all day, oh wait, I did.

I went to the US Naval Station Rota hospital the other day and got all my prescription refilled. I’m good to go for another 4-5 months. That should get me to Le Mans again and back to the Nurburgring before I visit the US hospital at Ramstein to get them topped up again.

Going to Gibraltar tomorrow. I think it’s still British, if it is my insurance should work, it lists 29 countries but it doesn’t specifically list Gibraltar. You have to show a passport when you enter and leave.

No pictures this time, internet is really weak here. I usually have to reload each page a couple of times. If you want to see photos go here:
