My Fab Spain (and Morocco and Portugal) Vacation!

It took sometime to load all the photos, but I promised you all that I would share with you my 10-day whirlwind vacation so here it is...

Day 1: We flew into Madrid and spent one night there. That night we met this soccer team of really cool guys that just want to have a good time. They kept calling my husband Ju-uan Wall (aka John Wall of the Washington Wizards) and MVP since we said we were from DC.

Day 2: We picked up a car (yep, we actually drove in Spain!) and headed to Lisbon, Portugal. We spent 2 nights there. Our car was super small and I called her ladybug. My husband did most of the driving and did all of the mapping and navigating...and I did a great job at it too!

Jesus welcomed us to Lisbon.

Day 4: We headed to Seville where we stayed for only one night. I LOVED Seville. I plan to go back there one day. We toured the Seville Cathedral which is the world's largest gothic cathedral and the third largest church in the world.. The craftsmanship and art work were amazing!

Day 5: We drove to Tarifa spain for the night and woke up early on Day 6 to catch a ferry ride to Morocco! We had a great tour guide that gave us a taste of Morocco in a few short hours. We even got to ride camels!

Day 6: We headed to the Costa Del Sol aka Malaga, Spain aka the equivalent of South Beach Miami and enjoyed a little partying and a little R&R. We went out to a club, had some of the best/most amazing food a hostel could ever provide and spent some time on the beach.

Day 7: We decided to return the car (gas and tolls were too much) and bought cheap plane tickets to head to Barcelona where we stayed for 2 nights. Barcelona was cool...it's so metropolitan and such a world city. Everyone there spoke at least 3 languages. I didn't use any of my spanish while I was there. That was a shame because most of the trip I was getting so fluent and confident in speaking again.

However, we did enjoy cheap wine!

Day 9: We flew to Madrid where we spent one last night before heading back home to the US. All in all a great trip! It has to be rated number one and the best part is I spent it with my honey.
