Weekend of Pure Glory (Cont.) - Sunday

After a sweet trip the day before, i asked, "How could it get better?"...and it did. The same four girls woke up early sunday morning to meet our guide at the Plaza de Toros at 9:00. Out jumps a little old man with the biggest smile. He was like my long lost grandfather, he was precious. OH, his name is Jesus. Jesus had us all jump into his blue, sleek VW van and we set off on our day long journey. He first took us to a little town on the way to get some breakfast in our bods. That breakfast just happened to be freshly fried churros and coffee.

Then he took us to a nearby town called Arcos de la Frontera. He drove us around and showed us some amazing sights and views.
Then he drove us up towards the mountains where we stopped by some towns kind of built into the sides of the mountains. He was an awesome tour guide because he seemed to know about everything. OH, at one of these towns we had yet another cup of coffee. As you can tell, coffee is not abnormal here...and neither is a beer during mid-day. After that he took us on a little hike where we ended up at his favorite spot to come think. We planted three new trees and we named them (don't remember the names though).


After the trees we set off for the top of the mountain. Once we arrived Jesus had a surprise for us. Who knew a VW van had so many hiding places? He pulled out a loaf of bread, drinks, meat, cheese, and vegies. It was one of my favorite meals so far. Once we had our tummies filled we started to climb the mountain. We almost got killed by some toros, no biggy (that's for you jules). But the sight from the top was amazing. We could see all of the province of Cadiz, from the Ocean to Sevilla.

Top of the world

Now it was about 6:00 and we decided to head down to nearby town to have yet another coffee and pastries. I sware, all these pastries and coffee is not good for me...but yet it is, hmmm? The sun was setting as we started for home and we snapped some quick photos. We drove back listening to 80's tunes and doozing off in the back seat from the long day. It was perfect!

Doesn't it remind of the movie, Chocolat?

Loving the view!
