Some sights so far. Started in Malaga, Spain. Terrain is tougher than I thought (climbs, drops, dirt, tunnels, sun). Ground it out to Valencia. Nothing broke or fell off. But, presently on anWeiterlesen

Slept in a chair on the overnight ferry. A Spanish soap opera blared all night. 10 hours went fast with earplugs. Checked in first night to a large central city bunkhouse. Assigned an upper bunk,Weiterlesen

Today I found the location of a Sephardi synagogue dating to the 3rd or 4th century. That would be years with numbers like 252 or 353. Those dates put the synagogueWeiterlesen

Sat up top for both the red and blue routes. It was a nice day so what the heck. In fact they are all nice days here. Did I also mention it’s cheaper here too?
Anyway, there’s my bunk room, a viewWeiterlesen

On the ferry, the dim passenger Jay does not know he is about to be sunburned.

If you were wondering how the USA stacks up against Italy in the Urban Graffiti Competition, just take a look. United States “tags”, Italy inspires. Yeah but…as Geo. W. Bush would say, theWeiterlesen

You don’t hear Latin anymore, especially after Vatican II. But in every ancient village, now connected by highway, the artifacts of the religious dynasty are in plain sight. The church was the prideWeiterlesen

The town is Iseo, wisely located on the shore of Lake Iseo. It’s got everything, on the right scale. I’d come back just to here for vacation. Glad I skipped Como.
