The Weekend Away

We had a great time this past weekend with the fam! We stayed a night in Rota at a beautiful little hotel next to the beach. There was a path from our hotel through a wooded area and straight on to the ocean. We showed Jay the water, walked along the shoreline and enjoyed the sunset together. Papa Lee even had the bonus opportunity of finding some very pretty beach glass along the way. He could make great money in Hawaii turning it into jewelry!

The next day we went down to Gibraltar to show everyone the monos. It was a great day! We saw all the major sites and this time we had some great interactions with the monkeys. Our guide was so much fun - he encouraged the monkeys onto Rob and Mike's backs. Jay loved seeing them play. He laughed and laughed at them. We saw some really tiny baby monkeys holding onto their mommies too. We watched one little monkey try and try to climb up onto our van when it was parked- it was pretty funny to watch him fall back down over and over again. He was very persistent! It wasn't a clear day, so we couldn't see to Africa this time, but it was still beautiful. At the top of the rock we could see the clouds rushing up and over one side. We enjoyed our time being together, even though we had a crazy British lady giving us wrong directions back to Jerez the whole time we were driving. GPS? I'm not convinced yet.
