Sadly, at that time I was starting my practice, and then had young children so travel to visit them there was not feasible (and their place was far to small to put us up). However, they of course brought back many pictures and stories, and Rhonda was one of their favorite places to visit from there, along with Granada and Gibraltar... and Marakesh!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-49877499824339332302014-08-28T20:21:34.271-07:002014-08-28T20:21:34.271-07:00It is a great little city, Dean, with spectacular ...It is a great little city, Dean, with spectacular views.
