The Rock of Gibralter

While we were in Spain, we got to visit a country with an even less favorable exchange rate. We also got a rare passport stamp from Gibralter. Here is Lisa just on the Spanish side of the border.

The Pillars of Hercules

Lisa and I at the Pillars of Hercules, which are at the Straights of Gibralter.

St. Michaels Cave

There is a naturally forming cave on the Rock of Gibralter that you can visit. You can read the picture of the sign for the history. Their gift shop has some good ice cream, but don't eat it in front of the monkeys.

Monkey on Lisa's back

There are Barbary Apes on Gibralter. They are the only free-roaming monkeys in Europe. Legend has it that if the apes ever leave Gibralter, so will the British. Their health is well insured. It is against the law to feed them but everybody does. Here is one that got especially friendly with Lisa.

Tunnel vision

This was taken in the great seige tunnels on Gibralter. Soldiers chipped these tunnels out of solid rock so that they could defend/control the straits.

Africa over my shoulder makes me happy

This was taken at Gibralter and Morocco is over my right shoulder.

Fifty Bucks well spent

With the exchange rate to the British Pound Sterling (like 2 to 1), lunch in a pub is not a cheap event. For the plate you see and Lisa's curry, we'll just say that it was a really, really nice meal.

Use of the word "Galore"

This one's for you, Mr. Tudan!
