adventures in *

doing some light reading this weekend to prepare for my trip.

My next adventure begins on September 4th, I’ll be going to Spain and Morocco for 2 weeks.

I hadn’t really thought about visiting them until a few months ago. I’ve been toying with the idea of visiting all 7 continents before I turn 30. This trip will cover Europe and Africa, as for the remaining 2 countries, Asia and Australia, I’ll have to figure out how to fit those in before February.

Here’s my itinerary:

Madrid
Segovia
Toledo
Sevilla
Cadiz
Tarifa
Tanger
La Linea
Gibraltar
Granada
Madrid

This time I’ll be packing a lot less photo gear, since I’ll be traveling by bus and train and will be doing a lot of walking. My main interest is the historic buildings and structures. In Segovia, just an hour north of Madrid, are the 2000 year old Roman aquaducts. The port city of Cadiz, is the longest inhabited city in Europe, dating back to 1104BC, amazing. I’m not quite sure what to expect in Morocco, I don’t speak any French or Arabic, it’ll be interesting.
