So, today I got into Valencia. I woke myself up at 6:00 am, so that I could get all of my gear packed up. I took a cab to the station, and remarkably, did not have to wait two hours for my train; it was a mere 45 minutes. This go around was much slower than the trip to Zaragoza. Some parts of it were interesting, but that was interrupted by my perpetual worry over the fact that I was going to develop blood clots sitting in one place for so long. I got off the tra...

I stayed in Taragona for 3 days and then took a train to Zaragoza, which is the site of Expo 2008. I will be staying here for 3 days and then taking a train to Valencia where I am going for the festival.

Today was my last day in Tarragona, and I finally hauled myself out of my hotel room, after a little prodding from Mom.

I had a hard time falling back asleep, as a pack of obnoxious students, the ones I had written about earlier, insisted on shoutin...

Today I woke up at 7:30 in the morning, in order to make it for my 8:45 deadline for my tour to Montserrat and the Cavas winery. It began with a little bit of a rough start however. When I arrived at the designated meeting place; Placa Catalunya, which is just off La Rambla, there was no tour bus in sight. I walked around the entire square, and all I could see were city buses.
