Day 118: Two Cameras, Five Souls and A Pool
Mijas Coste, Spain David’s kids Blanca and David Jr were spending the weekend with their Papi. These kids are just as fun and as loco as the dad. All of us had a wild session of photo taking. I finally got to use the Pentax […]
Day 117: Paella Paella Paella Without Ingredient
Mijas Coste – Marbella – Mijas Coste, Spain Another lazy day. Woke up at almost 11. Made paella for lunch at 2. Here’s the secret to David’s Paella-Without-Ingredient: 1. Sing the Paella anthem 2. Put together the ingredient (basically whatever you have) 3. Throw them […]
Day 116: Time Slows Down
Mijas Coste – Malaga – Mijas Coste, Spain I don’t think I had woken up as late as today since my whole tripl. It was good to slow down the pace. It’s hard not to, considering Davids town, Mijas Coste, is totally a vacation town […]
Day 115: Lust for Life
Sant Boi – Barcelona – Sant Boi – Malaga – Mijas Costa, Spain I would bet my money that Gaudi was one of the following: a) an alien b) once captured by Martians and spent a good amount of his time in the outerspace colony […]
Day 114: Pink Orange Red
Sant Boi – Barcelona – Sant Boi, Spain So Pedro had to work today and Marta didn’t. Marta brought me to Park Guell, which is a public park designed by Gaudi. The park was packed with tourists. Probably because it’s Gaudi and it’s free. We […]

Sant Boi – Barcelona – Sant Boi, Spain Pedro and Marta spent their precious day off showing me around Barcelona. It so happened that today was Catalan national holiday. Catalunya is one of the seventeen autonomous communities in the Kingdom of Spain, which its capital […]

Day 111: Slipping Away
Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland – Lake Como, Italy – Nice, France Honestly, I don’t remember much of the day. I was dozing off most of my time on the full-day bus trip. Lake Como seemed like a nice place to stop in on next time around. Why? […]

Lauterbrunnen – Murren – Grimmenwald – Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland My morning paragliding excursion was cancelled due to the weather Good thing the rest of the day made up for the disappointment. I went hiking with a bunch of people: Honey, Leah, Nick, Ronnie and Daniel. Good […]
Day 120: Monkeying Around
Algeciras, Spain – Gibraltar, UK – Algeciras, Spain We totally would have pulled off a few of this in Gibraltar, cos the town sucks. But these, taken mostly up the Gilbratar’s rock, made up for all the suckiness :] Mission macaque-smuggling-in-backpack failed though. These monkeys […]
