standin on the Rock with some monkeys

I was in Gibraltar today. The place with the rock. And the monkeys. We walked up the hillside town to go ride the cable cars to the top, got in line, heard it was gonna be 50 bucks round trip so were like HELL NO. at that exact time a van came speeding up to us, the driver got out and gave us his sales pitch for a bus tour of the mountain. We would save 3 dollars, the tickets were included, and instead of taking 4 hours it would only take us 1.5. we also go to see things the cable car people didn’t get to see. We saw caves(not nearly as impressive as the Carlsbad Caverns in new mexico, but everybody else was still impressed), we saw tunnels mined into the side of the rock for fort purposes with like cannons and stuff, we saw a Moorish castle and most of all we saw MONKEYS, lots of wild monkey that would just be laying around. They apparently steal things and bite people and do crazy things but I guess they were tired today cause they were just layin around. It was pretty cool though, on one side was Spain and the Med, on the other side was the Atlantic ocean and then off in the distance was Africa. It was so freakin cool. I learned that Gibraltar is a little peninsula type thing that juts of the south of spain and that it’s a brittish province. Comparable to puerto rico and the usa I think. Oh well it was cool.

Janelle is still acting weird and everybody is kinda over it. Andrea has gotten in trouble every day of this cruise and so its really just the 8 of us. As it should be. Sometimes you just don’t have the energy to put up with crazy people.
