Tarifa


We went to Tarifa next.  Tarifa is the southermost point of Europe.  Thus, it is the point at which the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea.  So we parked and went to the beach so we could touch two bodies of water within a short span of time (we couldn't touch both at once because the actual tip is a military post and we aren't allowed there).

We found an exercise park right on the beach.  The equipment was in good shape and it was quite fun.



After getting some exercise (that was mostly play), we headed down to the beach.

Hollis, Jason, and Neoma had contests to see who could stand the longest on one foot in the Atlantic Ocean.



Then we walked along the Atlantic beach toward the Mediterranean.



From here you can see both the Atlantic (on the right) and the Mediterranean (on the left).



We stopped for ice cream on our way out of Tarifa.  It was good, but the view was awesome!  The land mass in the background is Africa.
