One of the students’ favorite things about Spain was the fact that less than a 5 minute walk from the ship, the city of Cadiz offered free high speed wifi in the plaza of the cathedral. During academic voyages, crew and students pay a hefty fee for Internet usage on the ship, so this plaza was a popular site throughout our stay. It’s both strange and fun to look up at the beautiful neoclassical architecture of a gorgeous cathedral, and in the next glance look down in its shadow and see all this modern technology. The big question: what kind of technology will people be using in the shadow of the cathedral 20 years from now?
One of our favorite things about Spain was mojitos and sunsets on the beach with friends. ¡Viva España!
