mmm paella...

Hola Madrid!

It's certainly been an interesting few weeks on the road, all sorts of twists and turns that I'm not going to be able to fully explain...:\
I'm just going to say that Madrid is an awesome city with amazing architecture, and an wonderful climate. It's like a nice mix of New York and Los Angeles, only without the coasts. Last night A few of us took a cab downtown to the famous Palace hotel, where we proceeded to walk about for a bit until we stumbled into one of the best Paella places in the city. La Barraca
It was a small, quaint place, tucked in the middle of a narrow street, completely hidden from the hustle bustle of downtown.
I wish I wasn't as tired so I could truthfully, and fully explain how cool this place was, and how great the atmosphere and food was.
Ah well, perhaps when I get a few days off in Rome I'll be able to sit down and actually write a full on blog post, with descriptions and everything.


PS: San Sebastian, Spain is a beautiful city if not a bit touristy. Lisbon was cool, but HOT. Barcelona is like Miami, I didn't get to see much of Lyon, Paris kicked arse even in the rain.
Check the map below if you want to see my progress. :)

Updates

Afternoon all, I know I haven't blogged in a month, but I've been really busy.

Currently, I am in Frankfurt, Germany continuing the tour, and getting work done. If I find time, I'll elaborate. For now, I'm keeping an updated Google map of the stops along the tour. The map gets updated as soon as I get internet access in the new location.

Hope all is well! And remember, I do have skype and iChat, so I'm not completely out of reach :)
