Jessy The catacombs at San Sebastian, a short bus trip from the ceanrtl rail terminus are one of the most interesting sites, that don't always get the recognition they deserve.The Vatican, the Colesium and the Roman Forum are also worthwhile the whole city is is a tourist attraction with historical interest!If visiting Rome, take care if approached by groups of children holding a piece of newspaper out to their front, they will pick your pockets as quick as a flash!
re: Rome, Italy
Atoz Glad you made it there too! It is indeed a rraaekmble place, as I'd mentioned in an earlier post. Can you imagine living there when it was at its cultural height? It seemed futile for the Reyes Catolicos to attempt to change Morrish splendor like this into any kind of celebration of the Church. It was just impossible to over-write the lush mid-eastern influence. It is a profound experience to enter the massive studded gates of the Hall of Justice and stand there below the immense gallery, open to the dommed roof, and imagine being hauled in there accused of anything to stand before judgement of the Sultan. His throne room was no less imposing. And those in contrast with the delicate screened passageways and elegant hidden rooms of the harem. What atmosphere!

Rastin OK, heres what I did When I was 12, i wanted to get black ops when it came out. Basically my mum was like, Whats that . SO i shewod her gameplay and shes like No, you are not getting that! There is blood and balh blah blah! (My dad didnt care whether i got it or not) In about 2 weeks I had the folowing prepared for that night, where i got my mum and dad to sit down with me 1. I found a gamplay video of it, that shewod no blood ont the screen 2. I wrote a list of all of the benefits of me having it, like friends have it etc 3. I shewod her a video of how you can turn disturbing scenes and settings off. 4. Showed her I have the money and That im getting older and responsibleShe was like, Well, its something I might have to think aboutSO Some weeks later, I went to the shope to get some clothes with my dad, and I saw Black ops in the shop I was like, dad can i get it and he was like hmmmmm we'll phone mum So I told her on the phone that Could i get it? and i would be responsible and mature and she was like OK get itSO i got my dad to go buy it and yeah epic timesI hope this works for MW3!!!Was this answer helpful?

re: Granada, Spain
Yusuf This is going to surprise u, but it also suierrspd me when i got it. I use it to call Spain too.I thought that it would never work but it does!!It is a prepaid phone card(ibasis) and i bought it at the dollar store.And yes, just for a dollar. I guess it would be at any dollar store.I have used it several times and it hasnt given me any problems. And it gives u many minutes( i dont remember how many)All u have to do is call a toll free number and then add the pin# (it comes in ur card)and : 011 34 and her phone numberas easy as that!lolhope this would help u!!!

Kathy Cohen (Mom) I thoroughly enjoyed your latest entry. I found it interesting that you had a drink named "Arizona Cooler" all the way in London! So glad, too, that you were able to see "Wizard of Oz" on the West End. How does it compare to Broadway? I hope that you and Shefali remain life-long friends. Love, Mom
