Our first glimpse of this cityInteresting thing about this city, Ceuta, on the coast of North Africa in Morocco – it’s a Spanish enclave. This means Spanish is spoken here and the Euro is accepted. Even though it is on a peninsula, and attached, it feels like an island!
Oh well, no headwear required for me and bring on the shorts! Okay, wishful thinking as it was cold. Average temperatures this time of year ranged between 15 – 17 C, or like SF weather. This city has a long, long history and has been around since the 5th century B.C., settled by the Phoenicians and finally given to Spain as a present to King Carlos from the Portguese King in 1668. Anyhow with that said, we really didn’t do much tourist exploring here. We had a list of chores and items to do for the boat, as well as to wait on some needed boat documents (Registration papers).

Going to the Beach!
Tis the season! In the spirit of things we walked around this modern city looking at all the decorations and holiday lights. It made me a bit homesick, but then again, we might make it to Israel for the Holidays. That would be something. We’ll see.
Holiday lights - so festive
Despite not doing much, I did manage to take a bunch of photos. Click here to view: http://www.flickr.com/photos/katnbrian/sets/72157622842431623/
