THE ROCK AND OUR RETURN TO THE MIMES
Another glorious day of sunshine as we return, once again, to this special little town with its mimes and very friendly Brits and tourists. This is another example of a town with no street traffic - only foot traffic which is so charming. We hope that one of these days soon, our own Santa Barbara State Street will become one big and beautiful open mall. 
Many in our Voyager Club group were visiting for the first time so they were off to see the Barbary Apes and the Gibralter Caves, the main sites here.
No Crystal Shuttle in Gibralter - the taxi union forbids it, but when we got to the gate, there were no taxis, but a very pleasant man with a van who was more than happy to take us into town. Once there, it was all so familiar and we saw a different mime this time - Don Quixote on his horse who raised up suddenly when you put a coin in the cup.
We ran into several of our cruise mates including Pat Conroy and his wife, Cassandra. Pat is the fabulous author of "The Great Santini", "The Lords of Discipline", "The Prince of Tides" and many other classics, many into movies. 
All too soon, we returned to the ship on foot, said farewell to the Bobby looking after security, and sailed for Lisbon, Portugal. 
OUR THOUGHT FOR THE DAY....
