Our last day of our road trip, we woke up and went down to the beach of Conil before we got on the road. It was a nice beach and the weather was perfect, but I was shocked at how in awe Nicole, Melissa, and Sherman were. Having grown up by the beach I wasn't surprised at what we saw, but they were just in shock soaking everything in, it was great! THey didn't know or understand how surfing worked, so we explained it to them and how tides work... they were in awe, it was so neat. I've really come to value and appreciate how different we all are in our own country, let alone around the world, and how much there is to explore there. It makes me excited to visit them and see what their version of the US is like.
After wading in the waves in Conil we headed for another coastal beach town named Tarifa. Tarifa is the southernmost point of Europe and has spectacular views of the coast of Africa. We took our lunch for the day and sat and overlooked the ocean and the continent of Africa. It was very cool to sit there and think that just over a month ago I was over there having the time of my life. I would love to spend more time in Africa one day.
After eating our lunch, we walked down the ain streets of Tarifa and headed back to Granada. We were not looking forward to leaving the nice, warm, beach weather. We drove back around Gibraltar, Marbella, and Malaga and headed towards the Sierra Nevadas. As soon as we headed towards the mountains, our lovely 21 degree celcius weather turned in to 9 degrees. It did feel more like winter and christmas season when we got back in to Granada. We pulled in to Granada and everyone was all bundles up in their pea coats and scarves. SO glad I've had a taste of a cold winter, so I can really appreciate our warm winter back home!
