... works and really see his progression into cubism and his more notable paintings. The coolest part was seeing one of his paintings which was a remake of a famous older painting by Velasquez named &#8220;Las Meninas&#8221;, which we happened to see in the Prado Museum in Spain. It was totally cool to see the cubism remake. <br><br>We then just kind of wondered around, made it into a cathedral and found us some great pizza and beer. We then ...

... and tearfully announcing that her mother had passed away that morning. Once the doc realised who this patient was, she exclaimed, with a smile on her face, "What good luck!". My eyes nearly catapulted out of their sockets!!! While the poor girl opened up further as tears poured out, the doc turned her attention to the computer to see the details of the diagnosis, treatment, etc. I was the only one looking and actively listening to this poor woman who'd also lost ...

... You pick about four or five and make a little meal. The place we went to had a great setup. The menu was printed on the place mat and there was a photo for each one. There was about fifty to choose from so we got some sangria while we decided. In the end I got: 1. Grilled Swordfish with Ratatouille 2. Brie with Sobrassada Sausage 3. Grilled Squid 4. Octopus in Vinaigrette 5. A Salmon roll with Crab and Mayonnaise They ...

... salí a recorrer el barrio, pasé por las ramblas, el monumento a Colón, la costa, saqué muchas fotos y a la noche nos encontramos para ir a la casa de una amiga de Guada (la novia de Lucas) que cumplía años, y después nos fuimos a bailar. Junto con un grupete de extranjeros de todo tipo dimos varias vueltas y terminamos en un boliche que se llama Apolo. Primera y única noche en todo el viaje que ...

... cellars were musty, large, and crammed with different kinds of wine and cava. They used to call their cava "champagne" until France got mad. The best part was of course, the lovely cava that we tasted. It was brut and I think I like that kind better than the sugared ones. After our guide led us to an Italian restaurant with a sunny terrace. I couldn´t resist the Hawaiian pizza and the bocadillo my señora made went to waste ...

... The city was very very crowded! We left from St. Marks Square and winded our way through the little streets, over the Rialto bridge, and were just amazed at every turn of the beauty of this town. Many of the taller buildings were leaning, due to the unsteady base of Venice. The canals were mesmerizing. I could not imagine living with the canals at my back door! Unfortunately in Venice, getting away from the tourism mess is a tool. We failed to find a restaurant that had ...

... years old and traveling Europe for 3 weeks. Last night we went and ate topas outside on a patio. After we ate, the waiter kept serving is free wine. I don't know why but we kept drinking it. After that, the hostel where we are staying put on a pub crawl. It was my first time on an actual pub crawl. About 100 people met in the loby, and we all went from place to place. We went to 4 bars and ended up at a dance club on the beach. That party was off the hook! They party here all night ...

... see. It was amazing! Because the mountains were so large, it seemed like we were flying really low. I got out the camera and took a few pictures. After enjoying the view a bit, it got hazy, so I immediately went back to sleep. I woke up again when we landed in Barcelona. I have to admit, I was feeling a bit burnt out on architectual photos, so as I began to see beautiful buildings, I was starting to wonder why I ...

... Trade Center, one into the Pentagon, and one just outside of Pennsylvania. The details over the phone were chilling enough. But as we left the station, the whole mood of the day had shifted. While we waited for the metro to arrive, footage of the destruction was being played over and over in the station. Back at the hostel, there were a lot of people crammed into the kitchen watching the proceedings over the only tv that was available. A mixture of nationalities present, all ...

Me desperté en el hostel con un día medio nublado y luego de tomar el desayuno me quedé un rato meditando sobre mis futuros pasos. Ya tenía confirmado desde Bs As que el 1º de octubre iba a estar en París y que a mediados del 10 en Londres, pero en el medio (unos 3 días) tenía un sandwich que quería ir cerrando. <br><br> Para eso revisé la fiel Guía Lux (les conté que se me había pasado por agua en la Alhambra?) y trabajé con la premisa de visitar ...
