FAMOUS LAST WORDS - " THIS JUST MIGHT WORK!"
FRIDAY & SATURDAY! (sorry about the radio silence for a day). Folks, WE BE SEVILLE-in! - but we had to mount a major plan to get" out of Africa" (we love the Meryl Streep nude scene!) and to civilized Spain. After another long hot night in our new lady friend's house in Chefchaouen we realized that we had to find a way out of Africa. She has a friend that has what passes for an automobile - or at least it did about 35 years and 20 accidents ago. Anyway, he got us over the mountains (the "Gir" Mountains - it's okay we'd never heard of them either) and to Tangiers Friday in time to catch the ferry to Algeciras, Spain. It took about 3 hours and he charged us 500 Diram (about 40 bucks - damn African robber! - don´t worry Budweiser (sponsor of the 2008 Riding4Beer World Tour) paperwork will follow). We made the boat with minutes to spare, then...Tragedy!
For some reason even though the gate said¨"Algeciras," and our tickets said, "Algeciras," the boat went to Tarriffa! (okay, we hadn´t heard of it either!). Suddenly deposited in a strange port somewhere on the´Mediterranean , we hired a taxi driver with a souped up Mercedes and told him that there´d be extra Euros and a free ¨squeezer" from Stacy if he could get us up the coast to Algeciras in time for the last train to some town named ¨Bobadillia." Okay, so we don´t know how fast this is but his speedometer said 150 k/hr! WE MADE IT! We literally threw money at him, promised the squeezer next time and hopped on the train literally as it was rolling out of the station (just like in the movies, baby!)
At Bobadillia, we changed trains for Seville, and arrived around 10pm. It was a 16 hour journey but we are back in the land of running water, air conditioning, internet porn and, most importantly - BEER! Folks, it was a looong dry spell for us to go a week with some ice cold Budweiser in that Muslim Morocco. Anyway, we´re here for a few days to do some laundry, take some hot showers and see the sights (strip clubs and bars) The pics below are from Africa, we hope to take a few more around Seville (Columbus is buried here!) but in the meantime it´s almost noon so it´s time for more beer and...
4 PICS - ALL FROM AFRICA - SEVILLE TO FOLLOW WHEN WE SOBER UP!
Our bus ran out of diesel on the way to Chefchaouen! Stacy was shocked it took 420 liters to fill up!

We bet that the first thing you two do in Spain is drink some of those cool crisp refreshing, titilating Budweisers, the "King of Beers," yeah baby! You silly bastards deserve to take a good beer break for awhile. That hot African desert heat takes a toll on your body. Have a great weekend you two, and remember,we cannot help but love you.
guy and cary.
