Gibraltar

We headed south along the coast of Spain on

the A-7 to visit another country today.

Mainly, we were going to see the Rock of

Gibraltar.

After crossing the border you then have to

cross the airport's runway to get into town.

As soon as you arrive you see signs

of Britian.  Gibraltar is a British

Overseas Territory.

We strolled along the high street which is filled 

with traditional pubs, souvenir shops and shops

selling alcohol and cigarettes.

You can imagine you are in an English village.

But the main reason people come here is

to make it to the top of the rock.  We took

the cable car up.

There are beautiful views of the 

surrounding area.

This is a view of the Strait of Gibraltar

with Morocco in the distance.

The most enjoyable part for me was to

watch the apes that live on the rock.

After coming down again we stopped

for some pub grub for lunch.

Before leaving town I had to stop in at

Morrison's.  It is the store that all the 

British expats living in Spain go to in

order to get their products from back

home.  I was looking for Smarties ~ one 

of my favorites.  They had every 

Cadbury item available but no Smarties.
