Italy, Spain, Hungary etc. are beatiful countries you got to see it!

1st : Shopping. Oh my god the shopping. I'd just lost my job but spent about £400 on clothes and bags etc. I was the best-dressed bum in Harpenden when I returned... 2nd : Food and sangria at a traditional flamenco tapas bar in the latin quarter. Flamenco is apparently an obsession or addiction fo…

Here are some pictures from my Madrid trip on February 2008

On Tuesday my friend Scott, one of my fellow sustainability warriors at UC Davis, came to Madrid for a renew…
