In one of the rooms in the bodega, there were barrels assigned to members of the royal family...or at least that's our interpretation of what the guide said at 763 words/min (in spanish) Posted by Hello

Cool picture of the barrels.... Posted by Hello

Amber and Lindsay at the famous Domecq bodega and vineyard in Jerez de la Frontera! We were surrounded by barrels of wine, some up to 240 years old! (and we could totally smell it fermenting...) Posted by Hello

Ok so it was realllly windy and scary to stand on this rock--Kelly is a real trooper--she's standing on the southermost tip of Europe, in a skirt. Posted by Hello

Basically, Amber is sitting on the southernmost part of Europe with Africa in the distance---wowwwwww. Posted by Hello

A little candid of Katie and Kelly documenting the trip video--something else to look forward to when we get back, friends! Posted by Hello

Morocco, Africa! An incredible view from a mountain top in Tarifa. Posted by Hello

PILOT WHALES!!! We saw tons of them on the 4 hour boat trip! They are actually the biggest species of dolphin, but no one has to know. We also saw bottlenose dolphins and the blowhole of a fin whale!  Posted by Hello

Kelly and Amber basically touching Africa...I'm not sure if you can tell from the picture but if our arms we're just a little longer--we'd totally be there. Posted by Hello

Tarifa, Spain- Holly, Lindsay, Amber, Kelly, Brie( from Nebraska for Amber's fam, kinda random) and Katie! Here we are waiting at the dock to board the whale-watching boat in the Strait of Gibraltar! Posted by Hello

Botelloning in the Park- this is when the Spanish youth go buy drinks, cups and ice at the grocery store and then all meet in the park to drink cheap without having to go to a bar! We went with our new Spanish friends and there were probably 1000s of students out! A crazy and way fun experience-something they only do in Sevilla! Posted by Hello

So Katie likes to be random, here she is posing with the fun guitar playing hombres in the street--they have live music in all the streets here, we love it! Posted by Hello

Christie, Katie and Amber walking through the gardens with the group--by the way, I think we walk like 5 miles a day. Posted by Hello

Cool. Posted by Hello
