Starting on a good note!

Upon arriving to campus, we were all overjoyed by the hustle and bustle of the workers rushing to finish up campus for us. We settled in and our sight-seeing started right away. We started our first real trip as a bus tour.


This is  Cap Spartel, a light house found at the entrance to the straight of Gibraltar. Often considered the most northern point of Africa, Cap Spartel is a beautiful place to take pictures of the open ocean.


& of course there were photo opportunities such as this one, seeing as this is such a tourist attraction. Two young boys, around 10 years old or so, walked their donkey's over us and expected money after we enjoyed taking pictures.


While on the bus, we enjoyed seeing the beautiful coast line of both the Atlantic and Mediterranean.




We then made our way to Hercules Cave, another landmark in northern Africa. As we walked into the caves the walls were lined with handmade Moroccan artifacts such as clay bowls, keychains, rocks and other small trinkets.


When this photo is flipped, the shape formed by the natural rocks is a replica of the shape of Africa.


& of course we had to take pictures within the other caves! I think these pictures speak for themselves.





For a windy & rainy day, the ocean still looked beautiful.


Cats. Everywhere.



From here, we enjoyed taking pictures of the rock of Gibraltar over in Spain that we could see just across the pond.


Wild cats and dogs are everywhere. This guy was hiding in the grasses from the wind and rain.





For lunch we stopped at another lighthouse, however i'm not sure what the name of it is. It was beautiful, nonetheless.


Thanks for a great trip, Anouar!
