We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the
wilderness
and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey.

Cadiz, Spain - Day 1

SPAINNNNNN!!! Well today was my first day in Spain. I got up at 645am to see the sunrise and watch the ship dock. I got breakfast first though and I had a croissant, DELCIOUS. The sunrise was absolutely beautiful. The colors were orange and yellow mixed. I plan on waking up early to see the sunrise in every country. We docked about 7:15am, actually 45 minutes early than our expected arrival. I went and walked around with my friend for a little while. I was excited to finally be on land again. After exploring a little we came back and our tour didn’t leave until 1:00pm so, I took a nap. The tour was about 4 hours long and covered the Old part of the city. About an hour of this period of time was on the bus the rest was walking. Needless to say I can’t feel my feet. The tour guide wasn’t too helpful she pretty much sounded like a textbook. The tour was boring too, but it was an experience and I was able to see a few museums. Not the exciting first day I had expected, but hopefully tonight will be fun. We’re heading to bars in the Modern section of Cadiz. Apparently, there is a lot of night clubs, disco clubs, and bars on the beach. I’ll bar hop for a little then head home. Although we were told that bars don’t open until 10 or 11 and you are to be prepared to stay up all night as they do not close until 7 or 8 in the morning. Everyone seems to stay out that late. Most likely tomorrow I’ll be heading to Seville for the day. Alright, I’m going to go nap and get ready for tonight’s festivities.

PS. I plan on trying Gelato tomorrow!

AND GO SPAINNNNN! Sorry Dad you can't watch the game, hopefully I can catch it somewhere!
