Thursday - November 14

After a good night's sleep.....we had a very productive day!    Hoping we've got this jet lag taken care of?     Sunny, but windy....Mark bundled up and raked a bunch of leaves.   I did laundry, put lots of piles of this and that away and did some online Christmas shopping.   We both ran some errands in the afternoon including a grocery run.    Probably another "early to bed" and get our bods back in the central time zone.
 
A few other tidbits about our trip.    There were 135 passengers and a crew of 90.    Mark and I took a day trip (2 buses) to Sevilla and enjoyed Spain's 4th largest city all day long.    Back to our yacht for a wonderful BBQ on the top deck followed by dancing.
 
The scenery thru southern Spain was magnificent and such a wide range of terrain from mountains to desert to very flat land and big agricultural area.
 
Almeria is the driest city in Spain - not one drop of rain since May. 
 
Each night as the Wind Spirit was leaving port, they had "Sail Away" when we passengers would go on the top deck and once we were underway and out in the open water, they played this beautiful music "1492" as the sails were unfurled one by one.    Talk about thrills and chills!    Just get goosebumps thinking about it!    The actual song is
 "Conquest of Paradise"
