Past couple of days were rough and trying to get through the workday. Will post pics soon.
Adiós España
Au Revoir France
Arrivederci Italia
In Pisa tonight, Florence tomorrow
Internet access has been a bit dodgey and relative "down" time has
been sparse hence the lack of any sort of communication.
We're in a nice hotel in Pisa and having a rare quiet night before
heading to the leaning tower and then to Florence.
Some highlights so far:
Madrid: the taxi ride to the hotel, the Royal Palace, the Valley of the Fallen, and the bullfight
Barcelona: everything Gaudi, the Gothic Quarter, "snakeman" and the insane nightlife
Avignon: not much really, but "ratlady" on the way
Aix en Provence: quaint quiet town filled with culture
Nice: the beach, the ridiculous bar
Monaco: the famous casino and a 10€ bet on 8 that landed 350€, Prince (formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince) in the house!
Cinque Terra: the beach, the ridiculous italian beach lady, the burn, focaccia and gelato (twice)
Spain and France seemed to whizz right by, but Italy now has my full attention. Looking forward to the wine, the food and possibly some nice "chocolate".
Possible updates later,
Buonanotte
