The last day in Spain was rather dull and uneventful (to which we’re somewhat thankful) to report on. James and Victor did some last minute gift buying while John (who hates shopping) tried to fit his life in Spain into just two suitcases and a dufflebag.

After John was packed up, we made another last minute [...]

Today the group had a very light day for rest and recovery. They were invited to John’s host-family’s home for lunch and Ana, John’s host-mother, made a feast beyond belief. The pictures do not even come close to showing how great the meal and company.  

Later we went into Madrid to locate the New Rock store [...]

The day began later than the previous days but the weary travelers needed the rest. Once they got about, they headed to Tapon to get some breakfast. It was noon so drinking beer wasn’t completely out of the equation. After breakfast the trio were off to catch a train into the city. First stop [...]

Today was our first full day in España. We started off the day going to the train station to catch the train to Madrid and make the connection for Toledo. For those of you who don’t know, there is a Toledo, Ohio, USA as well. No Moorish architecture though, just a baseball stadium (as far [...]

They never went to sleep after Equus, well that is to say Victor and James didn’t, they worked on website stuff; John needed to catch some ZZZZs. At 4:30 a.m. they loaded up the Panda one final time and headed to Gatwick airport. The drive was uneventful, sans for one missed turn and they made [...]

After 2 days apart the travelers met up in London to get ready for a night at the theater. Victor and John had arrived in London on Sunday and did the tourist thing-whilst James met up with Leyla on Saturday and was making his way for the rendezvous. Victor and John left their hostel and [...]

While James was on his solo trip, John and Victor drove into London from Reading. The trip was somewhat dull but ask John about the green lorrie sometime. They got lost a few times and got directions from a bobby named Robert. After they finally found the guesthouse they were staying at, they went into [...]

The day after the beerfest, we had planned on touring a local Wiccan area but decide the drive was too long. Instead, we headed to Nev and Sarah’s home and did some quick laundry before heading out to one of Sarah’s favorite pub’s in the countryside outside Reading for lunch. The drive was pretty neat [...]
