Blogs from Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain, Europe - page 6

Hello all, We took the bus from Barcelona, and an hour before arriving in Zaragoza, we witnessed a screaming match between two women of around 50 years. (Ewa is not the only one who does not like it when the seat in front of her fully reclines) The bus driver had to actually separate the women with the help of some passengers and evict one of the women off the bus (typical Jill slept through it all). Other than this setback we were stoked and ready to take on all of the world (well more like the 104 countries that were there presenting) when we arrived. To begin, we decided to include a bit of a blub on what exactly Expo is in the off chance some of our readers have not heard of it before ... read more

We last caught the blog up while we were still in Bordeaux. Since then we have crosed the border into Spain! Our last month will be spent seeing what we can of the Iberian Peninsula (we are still trying to work in a couple of days in Portugal). Our first stop was Pamplona. Yes, this is where the bulls run.

Ah, Spain. The land of cerveza, tapas, and endless fiestas!! Our first long weekend we booked a trip to Spain. We bought plane tickets from Frankfurt (Hahn) Airport to Madrid, Spain for 1€ cent each!!! After taxes and airport fees, we paid a total of 60€ TOTAL!! That means 2 roundtrip tickets to Spain for less than $100 total!! How could we say no?!?! Andrea studied in Zaragoza, Spain in the fall of 2002. She lived with a family and studied Spanish and had an amazing experience! She's been back only once, three years ago, and was very excited at the opportunity to visit her friends and 'family' again. Romas and Andrea flew out of Frankfurt (Hahn) which is about 1 hour west of the actual Frankfurt International Airport. When we arrived we were shocked to ... read more
