Gibraltar, Atlantis and mythology

I have always been fascinated by Atlantis.
I wrote about it in Phobic Wars...
Is it any more wh the search for Atlantis is firmly centred around my home town of Gibraltar!

The following article from the New York Times certainly makes me think of why.

"The Rock of Gibraltar is part of Plato’s most tantalizing clue: that Atlantis was an island that once sat “in front of the mouth” of the Pillars of Hercules. Ancient accounts place these columns at Gibraltar and Jebel Musa, a peak across the straits in Morocco, or Monte Hacho, a smaller mountain slightly farther east."

Another long week has finished.
A very mixed week with all the terror and turmoil in the world, including the NHS!
Its been a demanding one, especially after the Moroccan break however perseverance and determination has its uses...

Looking forward to some family time and relaxation over the weekend.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Inspiration from moroccan marvel...
The changing world is a slowly becoming much the same,  every high Street has the same stores,  shops etc.  Most cities could be anywhere as they all look and feel the same.
Well not in Marrakesh.
It's still a hubbub of multicultural mixes,  colour and texture.
Walking through the souk in the medina today was inspired.
Yes a little hard work, non the less,  brilliant.  Great banter and fun,  bartering for goods and great tea. 
Marrakesh,  you rock!
