Hesperia Zaragoza

... streets and some clear and sane mind, we found a camping site to park our RV in spend a night....<br><br>I found Zaragoza very quiet town. It's got a big cathedral and a square in front of it, statue of Goya and few other nice things.<br><br>But at night it's completely different. Lots of people on the streets, bars start filling at 7 p.m. and are full until 3 a.m. So, for us it was - Party time!!!<br>

... hostel, to use the internet for a bit. Sitting next to me was this cute Spanish senorita, who ended up not even being a Spanish senorita. Funny how I was constantly trying to sneak a better peek, but couldn't without being too obvious, given that I was sitting right next to her. So all of a sudden she goes "Where exactly are you from?" Surprising, because given my appearance, not many make the immediate assumption that I speak any Spanish, and funny ...

... us from the sun. When it comes out, it is very hot.<br><br>We are in cattle and pig country, we sure can smell it all along. We do have the air on open windows wide! We stopped at a gas station to get a slurpee, it was closed so had to walk across the highway to the station there to get a couple of pop. No slurpees here! We see a couple of huge statues of bull cows on hill tops and interesting signs ...

Boring long day on the A23, highest col 1223m.<br> <br>Looking for aire in Zaragoza when Brits James, Clare and Katie in their motorhome took us under their wing to the park they'd already stayed in. Left over from 2008 water based expo, with typically spanish rusty iron "sculpture".<br><br>35 degree C until light shower cooled us all off.<br><br>Bren washed her hair in the public drinking fountain, starting a trend with the other family.

... camera around your neck. She is a lovely person but not very switched on about security, she was seen that day in the middle of town holding a map up and making her self look like a tourist so the word soon gets around town. It could have been a lot worse than it was. It will be interesting if some people that are booked on the 43week trip will stay for that long as people have no idea what its like, doesn't really seem like they read all the information. People had no idea that ...

... when "the k dog"was over in Madrid last weekend in one of his many outbursts he inviting all of them over to London for the weekend to which they responded "how many of us can you handle"... i cant help but feel responsible. Well next stop ilkeston/Nottingham/London that is after the unavoidable last kisses and hugs from the Spain leg, but i assure you, with so many good times had and so much love displayed in an abundance i really would not want it any other way. To England!!

We said goodbye to our wonderful host Sylvia in Guadalahara. The morning light and warmth felt like late May back home. We took to the A2/E90 heading NE towards Zaragoza. One hour later we turned off the highway to visit an old Roman fort on the top of a mountain with a spectacular view, Mendinacellini. Structures ...

... imagine being married to one of those women..you'd never dare question what was on telly again- "It's ok dear, you just sit and watch Most Haunted, I may think it's **** and get incredibly annoyed whenever that fat woman claims ghosts are sexually assaulting her, but you can watch it"). There was also a statue of Augustina Zaragoza, a young woman who fired a cannon at French troops when all of the guns crew were dead or dying, thus preventing the French ...

07.10.2007 I'm really sick of being on this g-d roller coaster!! It's like everyday I feel something different. Currently we're in the start of Pilar. Pilar is actually the most inexplicable happening in Zaragoza ever. Basically it starts on Saturday, October 6 (all of 2 and some hours ago because it is now 2:30am) and lasts until Sunday, October 14, 2007. It's crazy. It was originally a religious festival celebrating an ...

... SPAIN I had a blast in Spain, and Marta and John's wedding was immensely fun. I am now preparing to leave Europe and travel back to the continent, from which I began my world tour almost two months ago: Asia. I will fly from Madrid to New Delhi (via Zurich on Swiss Air) -- a 9-hour flight. Trading the crisp autumn air in Spain, I will be facing 41 C (104 F) weather for the next 8 days in India. But to see Daria and Ashish again will be worth it. Until next time, Adiós and Namaste...
