By far the trip of my life... I don't know how to put it in words, but the pictures I took speak by themselves...and they are about 5000 in 7 days... We started to plan this journey with the single intention of watching a Los Angeles Lakers basketball game... we've chosen the dates and bought the tickets and, for me, that was all... but my friend Nuno came up the idea of renting a car (wich I was against...driving in a foreign country didn't seem attractive to me...how wrong I was...) and went to see some places worth seeing, watch a live bad religion show, eventually drive a couple miles to Vegas..."yeah sure" I tought...lucky if we make it out of there alive...stupid tought...

It's an European city like many others, with it's own culture, monuments, attractions and sightseeings...
