Pictures of Spain

I'll write a bit of an essay on Spain soon, but here's some images that i've processed so far. I've got nearly 200 that i'm pleased with, i won't post all of them here though.

Enjoy. We did.


Opera, Madrid.



Plaza Mayor, Madrid.












Sol, Madrid.



The Royal Palace, Madrid.








Toledo.

















German beer, in an Irish pub, in Spain!




Amigos in Puerta del Sol, Madrid.












B1 and B2


B... 1, i guess ;)


Old home, El Escorial. Though it feels very Led Zeppelin IV... "If there's a bustle in your hedgrow, don't be alarmed now. It's just a spring clean for the May Queen..."


Thanks for checking these out. More to come, stay tuned :)

Spanish update

¡Hola de Madrid, España! Han gozado de los días primeros, muy calientes y de la sol todo el dia. El alimento ha estado hacia arriba y hacia abajo, esperando encontrar los tapa realmente buenos pronto. Toledo era grande, si la visita era corta. Montañoso y escénico aunque España es más pelada que mí habría pensado. El tren muy rápido era liso y, rápido, funnily bastante. ¡El parador es AUTORIZACIÓN, un pedacito ruidoso pero soy apenas viejo yo conjeturo! Beth y yo teníamos un buen hilado con un brasileño y alemán ayer por la noche, nos ayudaron a golpear de algunos nosotros de Bailey del café tomado durante nuestra espera de 4 horas en Gatwick. Encontró un pequeño deli magnífico para las carnes, el queso y el vino fríos. 16 Euros eran valor muy bueno. El metro es práctico, regular y barato. Fotos para seguir la semana próxima una vez que estemos detrás en la ciudad de Londres. ¡Adiós para ahora!

More snow!

We got another morning of snow over this past weekend. Quite a bit more than last time too, Beth of course was elated.







This guy had a bit too much to drink...

London Snow

Snow finally fell in London, Bethie is very excited! Here's some happy snaps out on the roof:






Keep an eye out for an upcoming post from our warm trip home.

Stonehenge

We had our first visit to Stonehenge on Saturday. I say first because i'd love to go back sometime, early morning or at dusk. Too many other folks there, it felt quite touristy which of course it is.

It's a lot smaller than you expect, though not being able to actually walk through it as one used to probably takes away from it's awe. I'd love to have been able to touch rocks that are 5000 years old. (Ok, the rocks existed a lot longer than 5000 years ago, but even still...) The rocks came from Wales, before there was 4WD so no wonder it took 1000 years to build...

The Tower Of London

Last week Bethie and I took a tour through the Tower Of London. It's one of the oldest buildings in London and was the site of a few dozen executions. The Beefeaters and other staff actually live in quarters on site, a stone's throw from where Royalty once lived themselves.
