... d'autre. La, moi j'etais decourage car sans les fleches, je vais me perdre a coup sur, pensais-je. Alors que je retournais sur mes pas, et que, surement le desespoir pouvait se lire sur mon visage, un homme m'accosta et me demanda d'un anglais casse. Tu veux connaitre par quel rue tu dois rejoindre el camino? Moi, je lui dis oui. Il m'a alors conduit a la rue sur laquelle je devais tourner et m'a explique quelles directions prendre apres. Incroyable comme les gens peuvent etre ...

... of it has to do with living in Washington D.C. I'm used to big, impressive, yet old-fashioned buildings. Of course, there were some impressive ones. But, the big difference on the whole, that I could see, was that the buildings had a lot of balconies. I thought Madrid was rather dirty. One thing that really stands out in Spain are the pharmacies, which were everywhere in Madrid. They are all marked by a cross (in the shape of ...

I had set the alarm because Chris said he would ring at 9, he didn't, but at least we were up. He rang about 10 and we arranged a time and place to meet. We went to the internet café to print off some booking confirmations and to make some more bookings the next bit of the journey. Came back to the hostal to do a bit of packing then we set off to meet Chris. We had lunch in a bar with him and caught up on all of the gossip then he had ...

... difference here is the accent, they call it the 'theta'· basically they replace most of the letter 'c' in the words with a 'th' sound which sounds a bit weird at first for those who are more accustomed to Latin American Spanish, though by the second day of hearing it I found myself copying them. The hostel I stayed at was great; very clean and friendly. The next day I was off to the historic nearby town of Toledo which is just 30 minutes from Madrid by fast train.

... de los dos decia algo, asi qeu salimos del depa y empezamos a quejarnos de "la Arpia" y el temor que ella nos infundia. De regreso solo esperabamos que no se encontrara en casa, si estaba, pero para nuestra fotuna tambien estaba Mari Tere, asi que nos tranquilizamos, tomamos su falda como niños cuiquitoscon su mama, y entramos a su cuarto deonde le explicamos la situacion, pero ya mas tranquilos, porque al parecer la Arpia le conto mas de ...

... can deftly sidestep the bull at the very last minute, while plunging the knives into its back. This must be incredibly painful as the knives are hooked to prevent them from coming out. As the knives dangle by its side, you can see the bull's skin lifting up from its back. This continues until there are probably 6-8 knives hanging from the bull. But it's not over yet - next is a full length sword. The bullfighter buries the sword to its ...

... lost her shirt in the water, and my dad smashed his head on the sand from the wave. it was all funny though. after that we walked down the beach for some local nachos, they were pretty good. we didnt have long in manzanillo, only about 5 hours, so that is pretty much all that happened there.

... horrible bag to the Metro when I could just keep wheeling it around on the airport trolleys? Day 8's big epiphany was that the simplest answer to gaining the courage to go to North Africa would be to simply stay in the airport right up until my flight boarded, then not get on it ... Aha! On Day 9's morning, I was in the middle of a princess's sleep on the airport floor, gaining confidence in myself and the trip to North Africa. I could really do ...

... Getting here was also good value. On yet another bus I headed out of Barcelona and not far down the road we cruised right through a massive wind farm. Literally kilometres of giant wind turbines stretching off onto the horizon and down the side of the highway, mournfully rotating in a very light breeze. I couldn't hear ...

... room would just get better and better? Every single room of the palace was both somewhat similar and yet different in style. Most ceilings had beautiful frescos depicting either religious scenes or Greek mythology. Almost every room contained beautiful statues either on pedestals or mounted in the corners of the ceilings. Lighting all of the rooms were massive, sparkling chandeliers. Oh, the poor lady who had to dust and polish all of that crystal. All rooms had some ...
