Ate at VIPS. Hamburger. Was really in the mood for some sort of rice dish. Walked around to the plaza del sol and back. Met a filippino. He talked about the cars have bumps on them because of parking. As long as the bumper doesn't fall off. You're fine.

8:35
Morning. It's quiet. It seems no one's awake. Got to go. Adiós, Madrid

12:45 Madrid - Hotel Alicia
What am I doing in my room? I should be out partying. Now. Got into Madrid about 2:30 yesterday. Ate some donuts on the road. Got told to fuck off by Walter because of driving en España. Had some tapas on the square. Ate dinner at 10:30 at Muséo dé Jamon. This hotel is too vogue-ish.

9:10 Hotel Alicia
Toured Madrid all day. Went to the Prado. Saw just about everything again. Went to Rénia Sofia. Saw Miro, Picasso, Guarnica, Tired. Bought tchotkes. I'm out of cash. Only have €5.30.

This countries 11:00pm news begins @ 1am. Just packing. Ate at Buena Vista Restaurante. No paella. It had to be preordered which we didn't know. Bummer. The waitress was tres linda. Brunette, tall, and glasses. The meal was okay. I got the fish baked in salt. It wasn't served in it. Bummer.

7:55
Adios, Villa Ellicott. Muchas gracias for all the fun. Voya con dios. Mira en 15 anos.

Went to fix up the water bill this morning. La oficina est cerrado. You know it is the feast of the assumption. It's a national holiday. The stores are all closed. In America, every store would be open w/a sale. We need to eliminate the separation of church and state so we can also have more holidays.

Walked La Via again in Denia. Tried to get to the castillo. Hoodlums were guarding the gate.

Days consist of the same. I wake up earlier than everyone. Wait for them to get up at noon. Eat lunch. Then wait to go wherever. Read my book.

The waiting took the form of staying. Walter had some kind of ailment and didn't allow us to go to Calpe. He was dizzy and mom blamed it on hypertension. So we stayed and Bernard took them to a hike on the Pinyon d-ifache. That dude sucks. Always taking his good old time. I hate waiting for them.

Tossed and turned all night. It's pretty warm in the house. I got up early and went for a morning constitution around back towards Rafol. I woke up some sleeping dogs.

Yesterday, I left my hat at the Monte Pego restaurant. That's one thing wrong with bringing a hat. We also got worried about Bernardo and family who didn't turn up until 2:00 AM. They're real spaniards now.

8:15
Showered outside!! First time in days. Fanta for breakfast. It's got 80% zumo.

1:12
Done some swimming in the pool. Drunk some San Miguel. Waiting for the kids to get up. Domingo en España. Let's do something. Earlier we got some cafe con leche at the Buena Vista apartments. There's free wi-fi so we have to go back sas not to kill our cell phone bill.

9:09 Villa Ellicott
Back from a big disappointing day. First to la cueva de calvera, "the cave of skulls," in Bendrilieg. Another English lady bartending. There we watched the rain come in. And it rained. Rained out our excursion to Ondara for the toreros. No bullfighting. Dang. Ate in Pego at the chinese restaurant. We have lots of leftovers.

Went to the mercardo for some food stuff. How do you say, "A quarter kilo?" Drinking Fanta and San Miguel. We should be moving, up and about, but people are still asleep.

8:05 Playa de les Marines
Sitting on the beach after swimming for the afternoon. Drove to Javea earlier through a winding road. It looked like a fun bike ride. Went to the boardwalk there. It was English. Ate at the English Chili's. Served by an English waitress. Had fake calimaris. Walt at fake shrimp in garlic sauce. Mom had Paella Valencia w/o seafood. Now we're back near Denia. Parked in a back alley. How do we get out?

6:55 Closing in on Madrid
I couldn't find a comfortable position to sleep in on the plane. It was pure hell. The best I could do was w/my forehead on the seat in front. At least it kept me cool. Airbus doesn't have a fan so it was warm and cold all night.

Waiting. Around early to beat the rush, but way too early that we're sitting around. There's not even an Iberia counter open.

3:15 Eating @ Nelson's Food and Spirits
Why? I got the blue cheeseburger and Walt got fish and chips. Again, why?

8:20 Somewhere over the Atlantic
Beef or chicken? Beef. I should ask this girl sitting next to me for some help w/Spanish. Only six more hours to go. There goes the lights.

In the early years of this blog, I didn't know what to post. The best I could do was posting my travel log from the European Cruise I took with CapitolSwell and the Seed.

No body read them at the time.

Since I can't find the time to think of a post, I am going to post my travel log from this year's vacation in Spain. I hope it's not embarrassing or boring. To make it worth your while, I am going to accompany the post with some of the pictures taken while out there.

Should be fun.

This picture turned out better than I thought. As the comment says, it is my second favorite of the photos from the trip to spain.

We had to use the bathroom soon after pulling out of the other servicio joint, and we pull into here. This place was located near a wind farm, large windmills generating renewable resource energy. If I had turned around and took a picture, you would've seen an homage to Cervantes's Don Quixote.

If you want to see the places I've went check out my vacation
collection. Especially current are the pictures of my recent trip to
Spain. When I got home and downloaded the pictures from my camera, I
had taken about 450 photos. I haven't uploaded all of them yet, because
I am doing it in increments. What's also cool is that I have been
geo-tagging my photos so that you can see where in Spain I took that
picture. Save the link so that you can continuously view the pictures.

At the rest stop this morning, we got some donuts with decent coffee. It wasn't the normal super potent stuff, but a creamy delight almost like dunkinDonuts. Almost.
