Sunken Ancient Ruins

Imagine yourself alone in a room in complete darkness.  Now add the soft sounds of waves and the moonlight that illuminates the rocks that you are standing on: rocks that extend for miles until they disappear into the darkness.  Water surrounds you and weaves around the jutting rocks creating little rivers and tiny dark salty lakes.  Behind you is an ancient fortress; in front you see a pile of rocks.  You get closer and stop in front of the pile which actually turns out to be a tiny perfectly square pile of rocks....ancient ruins once buried under the ocean.

This past weekend the tides have been going out farther than they ever have been in the past 1000 years because of the proximity of the moon.  Cádiz is getting recognized all over Spain because around La Caleta, Roman ruins are getting revealed of where the old city used to be.  Today I explored sunken roman ruins at around midnight, alone, only illuminated by the moonlight...how cool is that?!  I will write about my AMAZING weekend soon, but this was too cool to pass up! Time for bed!
