The Real Windy City



Tarifa, Spain is fabulous. We are enjoying a lazy day just relaxing, checking out the many surf shops, and of course, eating pastries. This is a very laid-back, affordable town. It also has to be one of the most incredibly dog-friendly places we have ever been. Dogs are everywhere and they are allowed inside many of the stores and restaurants and/or the places have one of their own (like our hostel - Steve is with the black dog in the photos).

There is also an amazing view of Africa from here in Tarifa - we're getting very excited for tomorrow! Today, we had our feet in both the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean as it connects here in Tarifa. That's the Mediterranean behind Steve in the photo above.



As we said before, this is one of the kite surfing capitals of the world and you can definitely see why - it is TREMENDOUSLY windy here (as you might be able to tell from the horrid hair in the pictures). Unfortunately, we had some rain storms today (our first of the trip) but it is clearing up pretty well now.

We are hoping to stay in hostels/hotels in Morocco that have wifi so we can keep up with our posts. Our ferry leaves for Tangier tomorrow at 3pm and takes only about 35 minutes. Then we plan to take the overnight train to Marrakesh. We will (hopefully) keep you posted!
