At the border of Gibraltar our bus was inspected by the Spanish authorities—every student had to procure a passport. The bus then pulled forward a length and we were inspected again—by the British! The British say they will never relinquish this peninsula overlooking the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea. They seem as territorial as the two tribes of Macaque monkeys who inhabit the upper regions of “The Rock.” We toured natural caves and WWII tunnels before eating a traditional lunch of fish and chips. The territory is duty free so students and adults spent an adequate amount of time shopping before we returned to the beach in Costa Del Sol. We only had to wait a few minutes talking our way through customs due to a (temporarily) misplaced passport. :))
