Ermita Coma Ruga

Another night parked by the beach which means opening the curtain to a beautiful sunrise in the morning. Val happily sat on a seat on the promenade with her cuppa tea and watched the people walk / run / cycle / skate by. Val is definitely a people watcher, which is great because ...

... di me intravedo la mezzaluna di sabbia della Spiaggia del Morto. Le onde verdi battono sugli scogli. Sulla parete di pietra si aprono come delle fessure o piccole grotte. Qualcuno č disteso sulla sabbia nudo come una foca, altri si rincorrono sugli scogli in punta di piedi, come ballerini di danza classica, saltellano per non bruciarsi i piedi sulla roccia bollente. Il sole č altissimo e caldo, ma si sta bene perché il vento spezza l'afa. Mi piace molto qui ...

... of friends, most people were wearing bathers but there was a fair sprinkling of people in their Adam and Eve costumes. It was all very peaceful and I had a lovely swim (in my bathers - what a chicken I am). After the tango festival I spend a couple of leisurely days in Barcelona. Unfortunately, I lost my camera so all my pictures of Sitges and Barcelona were lost - it's a terrible feeling losing all these images I had captured and not being able to show them to you but I ...

... into the spot light and ran away yelling POLICA! i take it we didn't have a permit for the performance...alas, two euros for me a billion for hector...it was time to retire (but at least i can say i sung in placa cataluyna the largest city center of Barcelona) Thats it for now, as you will note i am no longer in Barcelona and promise to be more frequent with the emails to avoid wasting your employers time while you read this on Monday. Adios!

... poppies and almond trees, the solemness of Moorish verse... I left the cathedral and wandered around the city for a little while...and it really is a beautiful city by night. It was wonderful to have some of the alleys and streets to myself...I indulged in taking many photos! And then came Madrid... MADRID, ESPANYA I did not bond well with Madrid. The streets were not as inviting as Barcelona´s...and some of the people that I met were even ...

... outer columns leaning in. I went to one side to get a better view while Jenelle took some photos. What a view I got as a guy was taking photos of his girlfriend flashing him (yes they knew I was there). They were having a great time but had stopped by the time Jenelle joined me. Up to the main terrace for a view of Barcelona (it would have helped if it wasn't so hazy). The seats along the curvy edge are ...

... to you, don't reply "nada mucho" because that means I swim a lot. Just a little side note. Saturday night was awesome! We went to this pub crawl because there was a flyer in our hostel. It started at 9:30 and we were out until about 4. We went to 4 bars and ended at a club. At each bar, we got a free drink or shot or sometimes both. It was cool because I met people from all over. There were a few guys ...

... TELL PEOPLE SO THAT THEY KNOW. After Salamanca, we checked out 'The Born' neighborhood which has a bunch of mojito bars, and then Port Olympic by the fancy Hotel Arts (980€ per night for a basic room) where there are a whole bunch of clubs, but it was Monday night and not that amazing. Today, we went to La Sagrada Familia, the coolest church that I have EVER been to. Started by Gaudi, one side is done in Modernisme style while the other is Cubism, and the church ...

... elevator, trying (and not being very successful, or good at their job) to pickpocket all of the new arrivals into the city. We got in the metro, and made it to Las Ramblas, the main touristy pedestrian walkway down the road, near our hostel. We made it to our hostel, finally, after walking in what seemed to be the red light district of Barcelona. We felt a little uncomfortable out at night, a group of girls wandering with our backpacks. Luckily, one of the ...

... the tourist information closed at 10pm and book a room. He had wisely arranged some well-recommeded digs for himself and merely smiled sympathetically as he stayed to calmly wait for his bags. Sweating and breathless we met him at the train station 30 minutes later, we had got lost and the bugger beat us there, sitting perusing his guide book as we careered onto the platform. Luckily we got to the tourist info with 5 minutes to spare and did get a place to stay. Early next ...
