jerez y cadiz

friday i went to wine country with some friends, to jerez, or "sherry" in english, where they grow and produce the original sherry wine which is about 60% alcohol and tastes somewhat similar to what i imagine paint stripper might. 

my favorite part of this city though, wasn't the wine.  it was the amazing museum we went to that had all these centuries-old artifacts like these 19th century wine-corking contraptions:






 afterwards, we ran over to cadiz, a beach town with stoic roman ruins crumbling into the sea.  we spent the day swimming and playing against the ocean, the night skinny dipping, and the next day adventuring around the old buildings.  since we're poor, we slept on the beach, and were ruff silly by the morning (also, freezing cold).  our campsite in the morning:



a couple more shots of the most visually delicious beach i've ever seen:
