seeing 2 continents at once!!

This will be a short entry.. but I thought I should note the fact that this morning (and afternoon I guess) I could see both Europe (Spain) and Africa (Morocco) at the same time!!!  This morning we had to stop for bunker (to fuel the ship) and we stopped in Gibraltor, Spain.. which if you look on a map is around the most southern-most point of Spain and really close to Morocco.  The re-fueling took forever! We were stopped there from about 8am until about 3pm, filling up our many tanks I assume.  It was a nice change of scenery, but weird to be stopped, see land and people, but not be able to get off the ship!  When we were pulling out of the harbor and had set sail again.. you could see the coolest thing, which I am soooooo mad I didn't get a picture of; if you looked back you could see the actual divide.. Africa on the left and Europe on the right.. and a big strait of water in between.. it was really cool to know you were looking at 2 continents at once!

 

Other than that, I was looking through pictures from Spain and I already want to go back!  This could be because I absolutely loved Spain or the fact that I had to get up and go to class today.. or both!  Also tonight, I passed a bunch of people in a classroom looking at jewlery on my way back to my room from the gym.. so I grabbed my roommates and some money and we went up there.  The jewlery being sold was for BeadforLife which is a nonprofit organization which provides really poor Ugandan women an opportunity to make money by making beads and jewlery made of the beads which are made of recycled paper.  Many of the women who make the jewlery are HIV positive.. so it was a good cause that the money went to and the jewlery was really pretty, so I bought a necklace!!

 

Ok. that is all for now!

 

Hope everyone has a good week!!
