Europe » Spain November 17th 2000

Everything is a little dirtier and more lived in, washing on the balconies overhanging the streets, people seem more alive and a little crazier, food I love to eat and really good smells. Spain is quite a reality change after weeks in Scandinavia and the Alps. Southern Europe suits my soul, expressive hand waving and warmer weather. It feels like a great mixture of Southern Italy and Greece. Barcelona got me moving today, I ran around like a woman possesed, the highlight for me being the Gaudi architecture.

28 May 2000 Havana to Madrid We really must find a better way of picking our accommodation, the one with the oddest name isn’t always a sure fire bet… but while it is difficult to find Hostal Chocolate is well located and squeaky single metal beds aside has the required beer nook where we get to dry out socks and orient ourselves to Madrid. We arrived groggy and tired after a long flight, made even longer by Scott’s instance that we go out to the airport 10 hours early. Honestly! I think he was concerned that the airport was a fair distance out of Havana, it isn’t, but we did end up with a very educational tour of at least three different airports… first off the taxi driver dropped us at a small busy blue building ... read more

I’m not sure why he did it, im not sure what possible reason he could have for doing it, im not sure he even thought about the consequences of his actions, but dear reader, he did it, he shaved his legs. Let me take you back to the start of the day, I had awoken from my beautiful peach schnapps (as mentioned before, this was not the description I had used when discussing it wit h the lads) and still had the faint moment before your awake dream, that I would awake in a big double bed with a beautiful lady next to me, the African heat pouring through my windows and fresh coffee already brewed. Eyes open, not quite what I had imagined, Wideboy was walking around showing off his tan, beer in hand and ... read more
