The Fallser sailed past the Rock of Gibraltar in November 2011 with Karen Mark and Dick Stabile of Warden Drive. The Stabiles stopped in Gibraltar, a narrow peninsula on Spain’s southern Mediterranean coast, while sailing en route from Trieste Italy, to Fort Lauderdale, FL. on the Queen Victoria. Seen in the background, the famous Rock of Gibraltar is a mass of land, forming a peninsula jutting into the southern coast of Spain. The slope of its western side is gradual and occupied by tiers of houses. At its highest point, the Rock of Gibraltar reaches about 1398ft. Excavations of caves in the “Rock,” formed by dissolving calcite, has unearthed evidence that Neanderthals were there more than 30,000 years ago.
“Wow! Nature in all her glory, what a wonderful place to be on the African continent,” Julia Davis of Gypsy Lane tells us of her trip last fall.
