Tarifa, Spain

From DANI:
Tarifa, Spain is a small coastal town known mostly as a jumping-off point to Morocco and for the winds that blow bringing kite and windsurfers from throughout Europe. This is where we recovered from a whirlwind trip through Morocco. We spent two nights in the small town wandering the beach and small city streets sprinkled throughout. Mark enjoyed talking with our Hostal's owner (about fishing and the sort), who was a cute, short gentleman and his wife was on this side of plump with a big smile. They were a welcome sight for our down/recovery time. They were good examples for us, as when we first arrived, the wife was "watching TV" in her chair enjoying an afternoon siesta, which we were hesitant to disturb. We spent our days planning the coming weeks of our trip and purchased plane tickets for our longer segments of travel (Portugal to Paris, and Paris to Dublin).

Early Saturday morning we got up to catch an 8:25 bus to Sevilla. The day before we had enjoyed wonderful pastries with fruit and custard filling for breakfast and hoped to do the same on this day. Unfortunately we found out that this sleepy little town didn't wake up until 9:30, so we hesitantly got breakfast at a gas station consisting of two packaged cereal/granola bars and caught our bus.

The ride was smooth and beautiful. We drove through rolling hills and fields of sunflowers. We've both finished our books and have swapped and I'm starting to wonder what to do when I'm done with this new one. Hopefully we can find some travelers in a similar situation.
