day 2 lost in algeciras!!!!!

Today cheryl and I had the job of finding the car rental agency from the renfe train station. We decided it would be better for the others girls to wait with the luggage and it would only be about 20 minutes. Sadly, we did not return for over an hour and half!
Cheryl and I flaged down a cab and showed him the address. He dropped us off and we suddenly realized the car rental place was not anywhere. So we started asking random spanyards for help. They directed us all over the place until I spotted a car with eurocar rentals written on it. We ran to the car and although they looked at us like we were freaks we signaled them to roll down their window. They did and explained to us where the place was located. We started in that direction and made a few wrong turns ( spanish directions are not easy to follow) until we saw eurocar rentals!!! However, when we tryed to walk in we realized they were closed. However, they would open again after their siesta at 430. So we walked back to the train station, explained to the girls why we did not have a car and got some spanish food and at 430 we walked back and got the car.

Ah... siestas! They're SO worth it, but do tend to be addicting.

I hope you did not get a red convertible sports car.
