Calpe Update with Pictures (with captions!)

As I mentioned before, we went to Calp for the day.

I think it is written "Calp" but pronounced "Calp-ay" so sometimes I write it with an E.

Drew, my friend, organized a trip for us to go there, and it was about 10 euro round trip to get there. We had a brief stop at the beach, then we climbed up the mountain for most of the time. It was super cool, with these ropes that helped you around "rough" areas. When we got to the top, there were 2 cats living off of human food, as well as a bajillion seagulls that came within feet of our heads. The view was gorgeous. We ate our bagged lunches when we got to the top, much to the jealousy of those cats.

When we got down, we stopped at a cafe just because, then caught a bus ride to the tram. We were cutting it close, b/c the tram left only every hour, so we caught the bus and literally got to the tram station 2 minutes before it arrived, around 8pm. We got on the tram home and witnessed a dancing, screaming/singing drunk spanish woman, which was entertaining for about 5 minutes, then annoying for the rest. Overall, it was a successful trip.

Calpe Teaser...

Yesterday my friend Drew organized (it's nice when someone else takes charge!) a day trip for some friends to go on a hike in Calpe (2 hour tram ride away). I will write more about it later, along with translations from my radio shows, a brief overview of the USAC hike from January, the cave visit from January, and about a bajillion other things...

but let me leave you this picture as a teaser from yesterday's Calpe hike...
