Ok well I am in La Spezia today. Gonna go to cinqueterra I guess.
In the past few days....Ok so from Sevilla I went to Cordoba, from Cordoba I went to Granada, from Granada to Madrid, from Madrid to Toledo and back. Then I caught an overnite to Lisboa, then I caught a train from Lisboa to Valladolid. Then I caught a flight from Valladolid to Bergamo (near Milano). Then I caught a train from Milano (yuck to that city) to La Spezia. So I saw all the good stuff in Spain (dad...) and now I'm in Italy and going to see whats supposed to be really cool 5 little towns on the ocean built into the cliffs. After that pisa, Florence, back up to Venice, then train to Rome and then flight Rome-Bucharest Romania. Italy seems much more hectic than Spain generally. I saw communist posters here, which I think is funny, its like how many failures does communism have to have before people think "yeh i guess that doesnt work so well" Then again from my experience with the craziness of the train system....maybe a little top-down planning could do them well. Maybe these communist italians are really just frequent train commuters? Ok well I dont really have too much time to chit chat, internet aint cheap. But anyhoo thats the rundown.

Did you enjoy The Alhambra in Granada? ....Dad
yeh the alhambra was cool, i think they build it up a little too much. they have little booths where you are supposed to vote for it to be a new wonder of the world....i think the sultans palace in istanbul was much better preserved as far as islamic art and much more ornate..so i dunno what the hubbub is about, i guess most people dont go to turkey so they get the leftover moorish ruins in spain and think its the cats pajamas. But no it was cool, im surprised it survived at all considering the reconquista, but i think ive seen better. The great part about granada was the old arab quarter and the people i met in the city, oh and the FREE TAPAS when you buy a beer....basically drink your way through dinner (not that i did that.....)
