... up as he started talking to the wine guy - we found out the family who owns the restaurant has a wine cellar in the city (right around the corner from the restaurant) with a 47,000 bottle inventory. Mike asked if it would be possible to get a tour of the wine cave, the waiter said "sure, the owner's son will be here later and he'll take you on a personal tour." After dinner, in walked Javier who ...

... 8217;s self-guided tour took almost an hour and a half because the church is filled with remarkable art, sculpture, carvings, architecture and clerical vestments. The Sacristy has a collection of masterworks by El Greco, but also paintings by Caravaggio, Titian, Raphael, and Goya. (The Catholic Church certainly knows how to shop.) The treasury contains a ten-foot high, 400 lb. shimmering gold "monstrance" that ...

... and a 10th century mosque that reflect these more tolerant times. The influence of Muslim design is subtly represented throughout the city. <br><br>Following a map in Toledo is much the same experience as in San Francisco. &#8220;Oh, it&#8217;s only a couple of blocks&#8221; turns out to be a hike up steep, twisting cobblestone alleys and then back down. We passed a number of bickering couples and grumpy children, done in by the city&#8217;s ...

We arrived in Toledo late in the afternoon and after a few pass by's we found the hotel. We took a short nap and then headed out on the bus to the old part of Toledo which is absolutely amazing! The old city of Toledo is located on a mountaintop. It's surrounded on 3 sides by a river ...

... in mind: we found a bar and quaffed a cold beer. <br><br> After checking into our hidden hotel &#8211; that is, after an extended search to find the place &#8211; we discover we have no internet. Again. (Hotels advertise as having WIFI, but few places deliver.) Also the air conditioner is broken. Now we have a problem. It&#8217;s going to be a miserable night tonight. I&#8217;m in a lather already. But ...

Stasis seems to be a sort of virus, attacking slowly, blinding one's thoughts of the outside world; convincing the static that finances and movement are directly linked. Travel is the only remedy. Travel makes one lost; it puts them into a world of millions and it makes them alone. When we as travelers are lost and apart, we are alone together. This is how we come to know people, and meet others who happen to be alone with us. Our ...

... les 2-3 prochains jours. Pour terminer, je te reponds Soazig en te disant que le courrier que tu as eu est pour l'ancienne locataire. Je vais l'appeler á mon retour et elle va venir le chercher. Et comme tu dis, oui, c'est un nom tres bizarre!!!! On a eu la chance de trouver ce cafe internet aujourd'hui. Je ne sais pas si on va en trouver demain et apres demain. A la prochaine pour la suite de notre voyage. Ciao

... was actually close to the plaza del ayuntamiento (City hall area) so it was very easy to find it - we couldn't miss that plaza! Carlos and me went in but it wasn't as fancy we thought - from outside yes! The castle looked like one of those fairytail ones in books - not quite like the cool on Munich but kinda similar! It was nice inside - lot to see and to explore! The upper ...

... what can i say, its my manly scent. Been spending alot of my time at this amazing park called Retiro. Its beautiful, and huge, and i cant seem to get enough. Ive helped to organize sporting events for almost every night of the week. Volleyball on Sunday afternoons (check out the pics), soccer on wed., basketball on tues..etc..helps me to keep in shape after all these Spanish tortillas. The end of August was crazy hectic with all ...
