So, I'm back home from my two week journey to the motherland -Espana. I figure I should write down everything i can remember about the trip so i can come back and read up on it at a later time and remember the good times. So, here goes...      The first day I got to Spain …

I lived in spain for 6 months; Salamanca, Sevilla and Malaga. I followed Spanish classes also. I`ve seen the whole country, except Valencia. Every year I go back, once or twice. I`m in love with spain...the music, the food, the flamengo, the weather, the siesta en fiesta :-). I hate the bullfights though!

I visited my uncle in Madrid, Spain and it was one of my most memorable and recent vacations. I need to go on another vaca soon, cause Madrid seemed so long ago!

I returned to Madrid that evening and spent the rest of the week visiting other parts of the city and revisiting some of the same parts. I pretty much went to Plaza del Sol nearly everyday. On Tuesday my friend Scott, one of my fellow sustainability warriors at UC Davis, came to Madrid for a renew…

madrid,madrid,wow!what a great city.its a busly city with tons and tons of great artwork from its museums to its parks.city itself is art,lots of the buildings are 300 to 400 years old.people hear are so nice and friendly and love thier city and country.food is unbeleavable,tapas to its great seafood, and my favorite things in the whole world,suckling pig. great night life that doesnt start untill about 12 or 1 in the morning. its ok though,becuase you can take a siesta in the afternoon.

Madrid has some spectacular architecture. Not saying it's the best, but it's grand scale like Rome - Impressive. The city is being torn apart in many places, leaving it noisy, dusty and a bit demolished looking in parts. It's transforming I guess. Madrid has some bizarre aspects. Plaza Mayor has winnie, minnie, mickey & darth roaming around. Nearby, a man with no arms shakes a change can with his teeth. Homeless people are common. The Prado is a meadow, but don't overlook Thyssen-Bornemisza!

An shortly planned trip turns into something wonderful!

This will encompass my trip to Madrid, Spain.   I'd been to Madrid the summer after my junior year of HS (back in '96) as part of a class trip, and this was my first time back (and on my own).  I flew from Prague to London-Gatwick (where I bought Thunderbirds DVD...messing with the region…

I had last been in Madrid about 8 years ago and remember not liking the city too much.  In general it was a really big city with a palace and some art museums which I don’t really appreciate.  Since a number of other exchange students had visited Madrid and said that it was better t…

Madrid feels more metropolitan and busy than Barcelona, in a good way. On the last night I listened to some live Flamenco music, and it was fantastic. The guitarists were amazing, and the dancers had intense looks on their faces while banging their powerful steps. At the end of each dance they …

3 months backpacking in Europe

Tout d¨abord, je tiens a m;excuser car je ne trouve pas les accents (et certaines ponctuations) et je deteste ne pas ecrire comme il le faut... Je suis arrivee en un morceaux et avec tous mes effets a bon port! (tant pis pour ceux qui avaient parie le contraire) Je suis pas mal fatigue…

Se acabo el tour, los conciertos, el vino (en particular los vinos de Rioja, que son los que más me gustan), las tapas, la juerga, todo. El último detalle del viaje es que el día en que volvía a Chile había llegado al país Alberto Contador, el ciclista que ganó el Tour de France 2007, Tour …
