I got intouch with my mate Olivier who I met in Bolivia last year and it turned out he was now living in a little surf town down the south of France so thought it'd be rude not to go up and visit him while I was close... well turned out it wasn't as close as I thought, but I made it there after a little mission involving a train, some desperate sign language and half a dozen friendly people who picked me up while I was hitch-hiking in the sweltering heat. France is cool, realy frustrating not being able to [View Full Entry]

so I'm finally up to date with my entries again, I've had a very relaxing last week and a half between Barcelona, and Silvias weekend house up in the beautiful Cadaquez, and now I'm off to France to visit Olivier for a week or so. Silvia and her Family and Dani have all looked after me so well, especially in the food department ;) so it's going to suck having to say goodbye to them tonight and get on an overnight train up to France. it's been a great couple of weeks though, had my Birthday party last weekend up at [View Full Entry]

So we got out of Pamplona in one piece, had to hire a car cos all the trains to Barcelona were full for the next few days but it worked out well. We met up with Dani, a good friend of mine who I met in Argentina last year, and also Debs and Anna-Marie turned up from Vigo so all of sudden we had a pretty big group, boosting around the streets of Barcelona on rented bicycles checking out a few of Guadi's famous buildings, and trying to take out pigeones along the way (Tim was the only one who connected).

I don't really have a clue to begin with this entry... the past couple of weeks has been all of a bit of a blur for me. Too much sangria, not enough sleep, thousands of people, party party party, bulls on the rampage, bad camp food, stupid drunk foreigners, rich Spanish culture, boogie street, fireworks, happy faces, Porron, poolside drinking, cobled streets, adredaline, these are a just a few of the things that my photos have helped me remember about what I was so lucky to have been a part of over the last 10 days or so. We turned up [View Full Entry]

After a huge night out on Saturday with all the crew rounded up at the Lyfield flat, we took a train out to one of Londons smaller airports to sleep on the floor of the departure lounge so we didn't miss our early morning flight to Bilbao, Northern Spain. so good to hug and punch a few of my best friends from home who I hadn't seen for over a year, and of course we all hit off as if we hadn't missed a day and were all as equally excited as eachother to get down to Spain and relaxe on [View Full Entry]

As I drove away from the rockies for the last time I realized how much I loved and was going to miss living there... the nearly 5months had gone by way too fast and I can definately see myself going back there sooner or later. Since I got back from CR I spent my last week chilling out with Kim in Calgary, and also got a couple of days in the Bow Valley to party up with what was left of the crew, and do some white-water rafting which was awesome! Then after a sad old goodbye with Kim at the [View Full Entry]

Even caught up with Dan Keys and Kat for a few days at the beach which was a nice suprise, didn't think I was going to see him untill this weekend but he majically turned up at the bar me and Kim were quietly drinking at on Saturday night, so if [View Full Entry]

So last week I saw bears 5 times in 5days, once a lone Black bear, another time a lone grizzly, and the rest of the time it was mama Grizzly and her two cubs... such amazing animals, and pretty chilled out compared to all the nasty stories I'd heard, they didn't even seem to mind when me and Wade were this close to them - sooo cool! there are people who've lived here for 5 years and havn't seen a bear once so we're pretty lucky. Since my last blog I've just pretty much been working and partying, and syching myself [View Full Entry]

Well Dan's been gone for a few weeks now, he's off down in Costa Rica soaking up the sun and enjoying the surf while I'm left back here at the coalface trying to save up and visit him. Check out his blog in the Costa Rica section to see what he's been up to. Meanwhile, the weather's been warming up here, and like Dan said in the last blog I finally got a good electrical job for a little local company in Banff which is awesome. apart from that I have to get up early now, and think about stuff during [View Full Entry]

Hey everyone, Dan here attemping to write up our lastest journal, Russ left early this morning for his first day as a sparky for a company in Banff and i dont start at Fas Gas (my stunning carrer at a local servo) till 3pm.
