Between the pool and the beach the wifi connection has gone mostly unused, but I thought I’d check in quickly to say we made it. Spain… or as we’ve come to dub it, great britain minor is beautiful, sunny and not like most european countries (at least the parts we’ve been to so far) […]

We’re off to Berlin to have our fill of urban hipness, retail therapy and overpriced “american” nachos… woot!
