My fondest memories of Spain are from the time spent in the Andalucía region, and it all started in its capital - Sevilla. We took a cheap flight down from Barcelona [YAY - Vueling!], hopped on the bus to the Santa Justa Station, then took another bus to the city center. For our short stint [...]
Montserrat was another day trip out of Barcelona. It was a bit more climbing than we had anticipated, so Donna was not a happy camper at the end of the day. Parts of the climbing involved these steep sides of mountains - oops. My legs AND arms were so sore after this [...]
Some time in early June, I went on a date with Dalí.
Okay, I lie. It wasn’t a date, and it wasn’t just the two of us. Donna and I visited the towns of Figueres and Cadaqués, where Dalí spent some of his life and where museums in his honor now remain. [...]
I’m taking quite some time to write these. Maybe I will finish by August?
Oh, Barcelona! Perhaps my expectations of you were a little high. Everyone we’d spoken to before the trip had raved on and on about you. You didn’t really disappoint. It just wasn’t as life-changing as I had [...]
We were freezing our butts off in these two cities in the Basque country. After leaving Segovia and hanging out with the hostelers we’d met at the hostel, we went on the sleeper train to Bilbao. After staying at a hostel, we were quite impressed with the train. We had our own [...]
One of the day-trips we took from Madrid was to Segovia. Being the type of traveler that I am, I scoped out the site of the bus station from which we were to leave from the day before. Plus, since we were heading to Bilbao by train the night we would return from [...]
Where does one begin? It was a 3-week trip. I was pretty good at documenting the first week or so, and then I just got carried away on the journey. There was just no time to write, especially by hand. Takes a lot longer. I’ve finally uploaded about half of [...]
20 days later, and we are back. A little sad that it is over for the time being, but looking through the photos definitely brings back the memories.
Anyway, just thought I’d update and let whoever still reads this know that I’m back. Haven’t disappeared off the face of the earth - no worries.
I am writing these and typing them up when I have the chance, which is why a few entries at a time.

9.5 hours sitting straight up, trying to figure out if there is any way to be comfortable at all. But alas! Of all the seats I could have picked out, [...]
Bummer. Not only will my camera not arrive in time for the trip, but it will also be raining in Spain. Checked the tracking on my package, and it is to arrive MUCH too late. I don’t even know how I will pick it up!? One thing I am annoyed with [...]
