Day23(I think) I'm trying to load a video but the Wi-Fi is really slow here. Right now I'm in Andorra and will be leaving at 2:00 to go to France(gag) will post the Video as soon as i can it has a lot in. You probably will not believe this but yesterday I went snowboarding and the guy who rented me a board asked me what I was doing, well later on I met him on the lifts and began talking again and I ended up staying at his Apartment that night. It was really cool because I never thought I would do something like that. He and his friend who rented out the apartment are both from Argentina, and are here to work and were very nice. I’ll post a picture of my bed so ... read more

“May I see you in heaven, 30 minutes before the devil knows you’re dead.” Kevin (the guy who looks like Benjamin Franklin and sings at our work and is mine and Tara’s favorite local bar patron) is always full of good quotes, poems and songs. I’ve been noticing how much Irish men love any form of ethnic women. If you took a 200lb Japanese woman, with rat teeth, no tits, an inverted ass and scoliosis and they would claim she was the hottest woman on earth, because she’s ethnic. But to most of them, a California woman is ethnic as well. I’ve changed the name of any sunny days to anarchy days. See sunny days here are like dates for Mike Potter, they barely happen and when they do, they don’t last long. On these days ... read more

Hello, we´ve now moved onto to our 5th country of the trip, the small principality of Andorra between France and Spain. We only plan on staying a few days as we head through towards the vineyards around the Bordeaux region. Our visit to Barcelona was a blast. The city was amazing plus any city with a metro system is good news for those of us on foot. The first night we checked into a hostal with a balcony overlooking the main street in Barcelona, La Rambla. The nightlife was hopping, the street was so full of people and street performers, until the wee hours of the morning, you couldn´t even see any pavement. It was an actual sea of people. The night was long and loud and the place wasn´t particularly nice for the cost so ... read more

April 29 - 30, 2008 Andorra La Vella We had no idea what to expect here as, quite frankly, we had never heard of it before. We kind of threw a dart at the map the day before and this is where it landed. This is a very small “ Country” ( Principality ) between Spain and France. One of those places similar to Monte Carlo and Luxembourg. The big business here is tourists and it's a tax haven so there are lots of big banks, accountants and lawyers. One interesting fact we learned was that this is the place to be to live a long life. Highest average lifespan in the world at about 83 years. Must be the wine !! This is a very nice place right in the middle of the mountains and ... read more

Monday, 14th April Spent day mooching around Sitges.Much quieter on sea front today so we enjoyed a peaceful time walking around and eventually managed to find an internet room to download blog. Had been trying to do this for days without success. Shops here are very upmarket and interesting - all different in style and design. Friends, Elizabeth and Peter arrived later in the day after long drive up from Santa Pola. Had cooked them a meal so we enjoyed a happy time together. In the evening we watched an old Dads Army until we realised that the old German van next door and its occupants (not dishy ones!) were glaring at us and TV screen. We soon battened down hatches and shut ourselves in. Tuesday, 15th April Got the 9.30 bus today back into Barcelona ... read more

Europe » Andorra » Soldeu March 24th 2008

This was definitely the holiday we were waiting for. From the moment we came back from Snowboarding in Bansko we wanted to go again, like kids in a Theme Park. The fact that Will and Chaz would be coming with us made it all even more exciting. We had five full great days snowboarding. The week started with Chaz falling, hitting his board on some poor man's head and having to be rescued by a snowmobile and it finished with Axelle having to give up half way through the last day due to, lets say, bottom injury. The apartment was at only five minutes walk to the lifts and we had a really nice view of the pists from our bedroom windows. We had a great time and finished our stay in Soldeu with a delicious ... read more
