... fountains, public areas, major thoroughfares, small neighborhoods, etc etc were all so picturesque, we happily snapped away, barely listening to the ongoing commentary. So, basically, I´ve got a ton of pictures of things I can´t identify by name, or function, but that are so graphically striking, that they almost require none anyways. The intricate design, iron work, frescos, figures decorating the buildings, balconies, roof ornamentation, and ...

A menudo una parte importante de los europeos hablamos sobre el individualismo de los estadounidenses con una especie de superioridad moral. Pues bien, para todos nosotros aquí va un baño de humildad: Aunque 17 días pueden ser pocos para sacar conclusiones nos hemos quedado tan abrumados por la hospitalidad que hemos visto en San Francisco y alrededores que nos atrevemos a afirmar que la cercanía, la amabilidad y la empatía que hemos recibido no la puede recibir un ...

... things arose but that´ll come in Lima. Of course being ÇIrish we quickly found friends in an Irish couple who joined us in our super massive three bedroom suite including jacuzzi. A litre of rum and a plethora of cerveza (beers) later the only logical conclusion was to jump in the jacuzzi. Myself, Frank and Ciaran all had a whale of a time splashing each other. Oh what fun! I´ll lash up pics later. So about ...

... momka *oni sto su mnogo mladi i sto izgledaju kao da su ih sad iz favele iyvadili a pevali su povremeno i pratece vokale* su rasprasili po dairama i udaraljkama, bongosima, fenomenalno... i naravno da su se onda vratili i ostali i nastavili sa bossa novom, pa rock verzija mais que nada, pa sauipa saiupa...i tako do kraja...negde od polovine vise niko nije sedeo, a pred kraj su zadnji redovi bili ispred bine...ja sam se useravao od srece naravno...kraj koncerta a ...

... Palace (Palacio Nacional da Pena) - a piece of architecture that is definitely not as old as the Castle but still very dramatic even though you can see the additions and changes that have been made with different dynasties. Both attractions afforded great views for as far as the eye could see including over the village of Sintra where you could make out some of the other monuments including the Sintra National Palace (Palacio Nacional de Sintra) plus other castles and churches ...

... time and the place was shutting down. Sometime around 4pm I find one that is open. Of course I go to a pharmacia a little outside of plaza major where less people speak english. One of the pharmacists speaks some English. I was just about to describe all my ailments and suddenly I had a coughing fit. Well that took care of that. She rush´s to the back of the store and brings this box out. She tries to describe it to me as I quickly look at the ingredient list. I ...

... gave me directions to the gate in Italian, which was pretty cool. The flight was not eventful. There were lots of Italians on the plane, but by then I was expecting to hear Italian every day. (And, I did.) I arrived in Madrid, then took the metro to a stop 10 minutes from my hostel that night. Madrid has a fantastic metro system. It costs a euro to go anywhere, and the metro goes straight to the airport. I didn't really need ...

... Once the bull was dead, somebody cut off one of it´s ears and handed it to him. He then took a stroll around the ring while people threw their hats to him, flowers, and underwear. I´m just kidding about the underwear... He would pick them up, kiss them, and then throw them back to the spectators. Pretty interesting. In the last fight of the evening, the bull just would not die. This was one tough hombre. They must have stabbed this poor ******* 15 times ...

... keeping the ride smooth and relatively level. But I am soutbound, on the highway Franco first pushed through here decades ago. Luckily, it isn't two-way traffic any more, since it clings to the mountains as it winds its way through the pass. Our bus passes a truck labouring up the highway, giving me a bird's eye view of the gorge far below. Hairpin turns slow our progress, but that gives me more time to admire the tall sandstone columns thrusting up from the floor of ...

Hello there! First of all I'd like to apologize for any possible grammar mistake hereafter. I'm Spanish and therefore my English is rather faulty :p Let me introduce myself. My name is Hector Yagüe. I'm a 27 years old male from Madrid (Spain) and this will be my first long travel adventure of my life. I've travelled around before of course, but mostly as a tourist rather than as a backpacker, and for no longer than a month at most. I'm what you could call "the typical twenty-something ...
