Play It Again, Sam

We are back in Casablanca today after two great days in Spain. The EV is retracing the S13 steps a little bit, though the stop in Spain was Cadiz since the EV started in Barcelona.

Since we'd already been to Morocco just three weeks ago, we decided we knew enough to take a train from Casablanca to the city of Rabat today. We found the train, got to the right station in Rabat, and had a nice day exploring Morocco's capital city. Jeff and Christie, we thought about you all day. 

We had no sea days in between, so here is a report from the last port, too. Southern Spain was so different from Barcelona. Cadiz was small, beautiful, and easy to walk around. We spent a few hours at a crystal clear but cold beach, took a siesta just like the Spanish do, then explored the old city after dark. Yesterday we went on another bike tour, this time in Seville. In addition to a bunch of stylish Moorish and turn-of-the-century buildings, we saw rowers on the river (in regular racing shells this time), and ate some yummy tapas. Jr had a good time riding a bike for the first time in many months, and did some bunny hops on the folding bike he rode. That's our boy.

Tomorrow we'll visit some of the places in Casablanca we liked last time. We are almost locals ;-)

Pics: the MV Explorer docked right in downtown Cadiz, the closest we've been in any port; the beach in Cadiz, Spain; the oceanfront in Rabat, Morocco.
