Summer Travels: Gibraltar


Dear Readers,

Here are my favorite photos from our relaxing few days in Gibraltar, a country of only 30,000 people!  After weeks of exploring French and Spanish speaking countries, it was wonderfully bizarre to step into a land of English, Irish, and Scottish accents.  Between cooler weather and friendly people, we left feeling refreshed and eager for our upcoming trek through Morocco.
