Viva España

Well, My adventure to Spain began with an epic flight to Seville. What was so epic about it you say??? To me, the cloud formations and the reflection of sun on them is one of the most beautiful creations of God. I've always admired this amazing interactions from the ground but being in a plane makes all the difference. I'll share some with you....

There was a plane right beside us at one point which was pretty cool...

 
This is was i saw when I got to the Airport in Seville.... So beautiful.

At this point in my travels I met up with my best bud David Bell. Good to see my old friend. :)  I stayed the first night in Seville in a random hostel in the middle of the city. We left the next morning for Tarifa which is the southern most tip of Spain/Europe. It's just 14km from border of Morocco, Africa... so we went there the following day.

These are pictures of the place we stayed "Hurricane Hotel". It was amazing place to stay but literally out in the middle of no where. We had to take a Taxi into the village of Tarifa any time we wanted to get anything or get to anywhere else.... got pretty expensive.

We took the first day to venture out and see what the beach had to offer... really beautiful place. The Sunset that night was probably the best or at least second most beautiful sunset I've ever seen...

Remains of a World War II gun cage. Pretty cool. 

 

I'll make this one a short one and begin the next post with our trip across the Straight of Gibraltar on the way to Tangier, Morocco.

The Decemberist Concert

On my last night in London, I had the privilege of seeing one of my favorite bands, The Decemberist, at the HMV Apollo. These are a few of my pictures from there. Then on to SPAIN! :)

The Concert was at the HMV (Hammersmith)Apollo. It holds 5000 people and was sold out for this show. I got one of the last few standing room only tickets. ...so worth it. :)

The opening band "Blind Pilot" were awesome too. This is a video of them in Belgium three nights before I saw them in London.

The next morning I got up and flew to Seville. I loved flying because of all the awesome things you never get to see from the ground. So cool... You'll see them in the next post. :)
