The White Hill Towns and The Rock of Gibraltar

Although we loved Seville, we decided we wanted to see more of wonderful Spain! So, we took a day trip down to the coast. Our journey took us through a national park and amongst the White Hill Towns (well known throughout the area). By late afternoon we arrived at the Rock of Gibraltar. It was a lovely excursion proving that all of Spain is charming.

The Siege Tunnels gave Gibraltar a commanding military presence throughout history.

or as the Brits would say, "mind your head")
Wild African monkeys are all over the Rock!

So glad to see pixs of your trip girl! And I'm glad you ask other folks to take pixs of y'all as a couple when you're on vacation.

Amy, I found your blog on Vonda's and I just had to "vacation" with you and Jason. James & I went to the Rock of Gibralter a couple of years ago and loved it! Were those not the narrowest streets you have ever been on! Did you ride a bus or a car? We were in a bus and I really thought any moment we may meet our Master! Beautiful sights though. I sure hope you and Jason had some quiche while you were there! We had the best we have ever eatern there!

Still praying for a pregnancy to be announced soon. Don't worry about getting pregnant.....Just enjoy your life with your husband and the Lord will do the rest....Then we will all rejoice! As I said, I hope you really want to have children...When I pray, I EXPECT things to happen. Ha.

Love,
Linda and James Williams
