Husa Puerta de Zaragoza

... vino con casera y me trajeron la botella de vino entera!). Por supuesto nuestros vecinos de habitación en el cuchitril sólo nos permitieron dormir cuando acabaron su fiestecilla a las tantas. A la mañana siguiente, dejé a Andy a oscuras en el baño cuando al encender la luz fundí los plomillos de toda la planta... Ni "El resplandor". Lo mejor es que hoy no tendríamos tiempo de buscar otro hostal, así que como nos estaba gustando mucho y nos hinchábamos de reír nos quedamos otra noche!

Calahorra or as it was known during the roman empire Calagurris is a small town in La Rioja, we stop just to have lunch, refuel and a quick view of the city. You can stop there is just touching the highway and the food and drink is good in most places, you can also have a relaxing walk for its streets.

... and people jumping in front of the bull with their clocks trying to be cool, once I had watched it for a while and realised the people were all getting up and weren't getting hurt it was actually quite fun to watch, you have to have a watch of my video footage it was quite fun. There was no way I was going to find the boys so I headed back to the campsite where I found the boys safe and sound, Tim went down for a nap and after a day of just sitting around the pool ...

... one in English which only half worked, and another one we tried to sing a translated version, which was a hilarious mess of spanglish. We also watched a bajillion movies - most of them were American, but we watched them in Spanish with English subtitles, no fair. It made Moulin Rouge really funny though, because most of the team used the subtitles as karaoke cues to sing along to the whole movie in horribly thick spanish accents.

Rained all day today! I started out at about 7:30 am, walking quietly through the woods, feeling drained from the first two days, but excited to be headed further into Spain. It was strange to be greeted with Bon Jour! because I associate this walk so much with Spain...So, the going was rough this morning, incessant rain. I have been starting out each morning walking by myself, something that allows me to have some quiet time and focus my thoughts for the day ...

... ring on the Bulls horns. The Bulls got very angry. One bull managed to put a horn between a fighters legs and toss him in the air leaving him on the floor much to the crowds amusement. This left a big dent in his pride and was no doubt painful. A blown turbo doesn't seem so bad after all. We also went to Estella for a day out where at around 2pm everybody vanished for 3 hours and left us with nothing to do.

In summer 2001, my then-boyfriend Yago and I traveled from Spain with Interrail passes. We visited France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Czech Republic, Poland, Sweden, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. I'm trying to create a map so you can see where we went on this trip.

... and the streets. Some people pay for drinks, but most buy much cheaper beer, wine or liquor in stores and carry it around. There is a lot of rot-gun, boxed wine and tequila, and disgusting concoctions of wine/coke and vodka/beer and vodka/lemon drink. The streets and park areas fill with trash. The bar bathrooms have long lines, become disgusting, lack TP, etc. Dudes are peeing in the street. People vomiting. Scads of people passed out in public, and not always where they intended ...

... direct towards ´a beautiful church´ or ´a roman wall´. Hmmmmm. Thanks, but I think every town in Europe could probably lay claim to at least one, and probably both of these. I was keen to take a trip into the mountains. ´You want to go to the mountains?´I get a shrug of the shoulders and a quizzical look ´there are no trips.Maybe bus, but there is only one a day´. MMM. That went well. Oddly, Pamplona has more mullet haircuts than you would find in Caboolture! Never mind. San Sebastian tomorrow.

... the main dishes because we didn´t find what we needed to cook them. In a way, I´m glad that everything wasn´t exactly like usual...because I think when one celebrates an American holiday like Thanksgiving in España, it´s already inherently different. Here are some examples to give you an idea of some of the differences/issues that Miranda and I encountered while shopping and preparing the food: 1)No grocery stores sell whole turkeys ...
