San Fermin 2008!!!

San Fermin kicked off at noon today and the place is going nuts. We made it down to city hall, where it all starts, a couple hours early. Helen and Martin-on-the-couch sought out the high ground and found their way atop a bottle bin. I opted to remain amongst the people, and got thoroughly...

Rest day

We decided to have an easy day, just relaxing and figuring out our next few days. Last night we went out for an amazing meal at a nearby restaurant. We had the fixed price menu of the day, which has a choice of first course of salad, pasta, soup, beans, etc., and then a second meat or fish...

Enjoying Pamplona

We started our day by visiting the local bakery for some breakfast goodies. After breakfast, Rick and I wandered the town. Note the exposed wiring on the side of the building just above the ground floor. We walked around the bullring. After more walking, we came to the Royal...

Made it to Pamplona

We made it with minor delays along the way. We were sitting in the departure area for MaxJet, when my name was called. When I went up to the desk, I found out that my assigned seat had a footrest that didn't work, and they needed to reseat us. First they offered 2 seats together in the middle...

San Fermin catches it's breath

Pamplona has finally settled into its groove, and San Fermin continues apace, but somehow not as franticly as it was the first couple days. Everybody knows they're in for the long haul, and they're pacing themselves a bit better now. Don't get me wrong, it's still basically insane, but at...

Day 20

This should be a lucky day by the date. Is our luck good enough to run with the bulls? We shall see. Up way before dawn, the 5 of us packed into the car and set off for Pamplona. The route took us over some pretty tall mountains and through several tunnels. It was very foggy at some points...

San Fermin Day Two - Family Style...

Day One of San Fermines was Huge. Thousands of wassailing wastrels in red and white packing the back alleys of the old town. Elbow to elbow carnage of spilled drinks and shouted enthusiasm. I need new clothes! After a late night, we were all up bright and early for the...

!San Fermines!

San Fermines just kicked off here in Pamplona, and the town is going nuts! It's just after noon, and already we're down 3 liters of Calimotxo from where we started. Just spent 10 minutes dumping buckets of water off of our balcony and onto the crowds in Plaza Del Castillo. If you're not...

How to travel for an entire year with just a one-way ticket

So, you've done all the planning, saved a pile of money, and now all that remains is to book that Round-The-World ticket. It's a pretty committing step. Not only will it likely cost around $2,500, but it will essentially lock you into an itinerary for an entire year. Locked in. An Entire...

Moving the HQ

So it's official. I'm livin' in Spain! Signed a year lease on an apartment in Pamplona, and am now sipping my Cafe Solo' on the terrace overlooking Plaza del Castillo. It is all good here. There is tons of great climbing within an hour's drive of this city. We've been sampling a bit of...
