Hotel Residencia Covadonya Alicante

... crazy stairs. We where welcomed by a bunch of happy travelers that also found their way to El Potro, an autonomous community based on self organization.

At the moment only Jordi is permanently living here who keeps the project running. But the project is well known in the area so there's much local support and many ...

... and walked all around trying to find them to no avail. No one at the reception desk was very friendly and when I asked about the three different times printed about our arrival in Barcelona one girl yelled at me that I was wrong. That was the end of my happy vacation. Went back to the room and packed and Rachel went to the disco and we got 4 hours of sleep.

... we went to see and in Altea there was a beautiful rocky beach where Cristina and I had a really good heart to heart about our lives. Hehe, so corny but it was really good. I <3 her mucho!~! I love good listeners since I'm such a big talker, tehe, but I love talkers too, which thank goodness both Elizabeth and Cristina are!~!
And hollaback at that anchor!~! DG love!~! o--+--)

... seem really promising and there's more boys than I thought. (Ew?) But some are uptight like no freaking other! They're the clingy, let's talk about how much this costs all the ****ing time and complain and freak out and act like whiny American *****es. No thanks. No entiendo íngles por favor.
But I don't think we have to be stuck with them. I'm just so glad I found such a good travel companion in Elizabeth!~!

... i did feel guilty, but i genuinly thought it was all you can eatand i have to say nothing could stop me from laughing. I managed to eat all my food in their but the cook stole the sandwiches the Belgians had made. The situation was then made worse when Vince accidently smashed a glass during our hasty get away. It was almost like a scene from curb your enthusiasm. Truly genius.

We met in a near by park with ...

... with: "What nationality are you?" I stared at him blankly and replied "British", I joked, "this is the BRITISH consulate". He then wisely replied "no, no. Many people don´t realise this but Britain actually consists of England, Scottland, and Wales". At this point someone else sitting behind, him who we had previously spoke to, started to silently cry laughing. I replied "yeh, I know but....." He then interupted me and said "no, your not hearing me, the Island ...

... made more funny when Miguel came down and she realised it was him. Awesome we are actually meeting people again. Once we got everyone together (including a few more recruits bringing the total to 11) we headed toward the town centre to find some decent clubs. Obviously during the two hour walk there many funny things happened including when a hooker tried to pull Alex2's pants down ...

... shoes. . . . But i didnt have no clues. . . Crazy man at night. . . . gave Alex a fright. . . . its not these times we choose. . . . Its the Barcalona/Peniscola Blues" . . . . and so it went on.

After a truly genius and uplifting night the Belgians and Germans who were supposed to be leaving in the morning decided to stay another day. Then we all slept in our own amazingly comfortable beds. Awesome.

ausholend, die Reserven der Energie aushölend,
zerberstend vor mächtiger Kraft
übergehend in spritzende Kronen
Ausgedehnt
in der hungernden Verlängerung, des in sich verborgenen Willens
Der Seele das Leben zurufend
vor Anmaßung strotzend

in unendlich glücklicher Verheißung
sanft und mutig.

... course, it is winter now and as many of you have guessed, Christmas is very big here. The holiday lights and the tinsel trees are popping up all over the city. And of course, the cold weather is making it harder and harder to wake up early. So sleeping in has become a luxury I can easily afford. Laundry, however, is another matter entirely!! We only have one washing machine in the whole buidling (full of women) and no ...
