Europe Calling

So you are off again! How long are you away for this time? Please keep me on your blogging list as I hear more from you when you are travelling than when you are at home! Hola!

Ah Barcelona!!!
Great to hear of your adventures in Barcelona, where I stayed for a week in 2008. It really is my favourite city of those I've visited in Europe. Did you see the Palau de la Musica? It was surely the most beautiful building I have been in- with mosaic pillars and ceiling with sculptures, a giant stained glass window- just gorgeous! I was in heaven! Did you see the Giris- the gay barcelonans with brightly coloured shirts who love to show off? I also loved the glassed off areas in restaurants and stations for smokers to do their thing-so very considerate!!! How about stopping by Mexico- Central America-Cuba on your way back across the pacific? I'd love you to come and visit me in Antigua. Cheap flights to these places from Mexico with Interjet airline- check them out!

Happy Travels
Hi Hilary & Rhys. Great to hear about your travels. We have sun today at Cooks Beach, which is worth remarking on, given its absence for most of the summer. Rain overnight, of course. Cut off by flood water last week. Have a glass or two of tempranillo (sp?)on us. Shenagh & Sel

Hi FlyingKiwis, my name is Richard. I am a uni student in Australia (although born in NZ) and for one of my units I am required to read, examine and respond to a travel blog. I chose yours due to my interest in Spanish society and your succinct and incisive writing style. A very interesting read and a fantastic look into local culture. For someone who wants to travel to Europe in the future the well-developed and candid evaluation of your experiences was very helpful. No need to respond but thanks for writing a delightful blog. Cheers!
