A place in the sea

A few new friends and i excitedly grabbed our bathing suits (mine: new suit 6 euros!), packed a beach bag, grabbed our lunches our host families made for us (example: potato and egg sandwich), bought bus tickets due south, and headed for LA PLAYA (the beach). We went to city of Cadiz, which is about an hour and a half away from Sevilla, a very easy ride; we were at the glistening beach in no time!


Cadiz is a city and port in the southwestern part of Spain. Its the oldest inhabited city on the Iberian penninsula and consists of a narrow slice of land surrounded by the sea. its full of historical landmarks,vistas, and narrow winding alleys.


We swam in the glistening Pacific Ocean, caught some spanish sun, ate baguettes con jamon, saw a part of the city of Cadiz, and enjoyed new friends and fellowship. it was delightful and my first trip to Cadiz of many!


This day trip was the perfect ending to orientation week. we had been stuck in a hotel and following guides and leaders for days. we needed freedom.


Choices of our own
