No rain shot, but it looks slick as snot.

Even better, we are here for two nights. We feel very lucky.

We would much rather have wet feet than fall and end up totally wet. Re the not waterproof Ortlieb panniers-only the rolltop ones are truly waterproof even when submerged. We have the kind that clip the top to the body but while just fine, even in a downpour, they let in water like mad when submerged.

Smart move - a friend riding on a dirt path in Florida that led further and further into the swamp fell down three times in the water. The last time he fell on top of his bike and broke several ribs. End of trip! Plus, it turns out if you submerge Ortlieb panniers in Florida swamp water, they are not water proof! Adding insult to injury, when he did decide to turn back, he then (obviously) had to go through the problematic areas once again.

We wondered about that too. And yeah......

There was only one World War?

The current US administration only cares about the grift. Those commemorated on the wall were merely "suckers and losers" to them.

Probably happy to be sitting and getting a rest.

Before the tour we didn't realize that Gibralter was a military base.

We did not expect the tour to be so interesting. Ahead of time we thought it would be a large rock and monkeys so we were most pleasantly surprised.

The day was great but the middle of the night thing was unnecessary excitement.
