an airport runway and channel sickness.
-Jay had a travel sabbatical in 2000-2001; stayed in Gibraltar that visit, returned in 2012 -motivation to visit was that he had never been there before -it is a British Overseas Territory, connected by land to Spain; La Línea de la Concepción, Spanish city on border -if you enter Gibraltar by land, you have to go across the peninsula's one airplane landing strip -much of Gibraltar is the Rock of Gibraltar -two areas of Africa, connected to Morocco, are in Spain -Guernsey and Jersey are comprised of self-governing islands and are also British Crown Dependencies -Saint-Malo, France to Jersey; Jay became "channel sick" in the most tumultuous waters he has ever experienced; Jersey looked very British -another stomach-turning trip to Guernsey; decided at the moment of landing at Saint Peter Port to fly back to France rather than take ferry -Guernsey was Victor Hugo's home for fifteen years -flew to Dinard, France -lots of cows -there were as of 03-28-22 two airlines that fly in and out of Gibraltar International Airport: British Airways and easyJet -the Falkland Islands (about 300 miles/ 480 kilometers east of the coast of Argentina) are, like Gibraltar, one of the currently fourteen British Overseas Territories -Victor Hugo wrote his famous novel Les Misérables while living on Guernsey -Jay: "All tragedy current can be funny in retrospect" -Carol Burnette: "Comedy is tragedy plus time." -Charlie Chaplin: "Life is a tragedy when seen in closeup, but a comedy in long-shot." 40 minutes 03-28-22 debug comment |
