Vacation day from the vacation. We spent the day relaxing at the estate. Kate watched Club Nelly (described below)... and I went swimming. I hold the record for going in the water! (it was very very cold) and that's it ( Read more... )

Woke up early (6) and went on a 7 hour train ride...gah! The only good thing about the long ride, was the fact that I finished Hitchhiker's. Woo! France is better than I remember. It's actually nice ( Read more... )

Even though it feels like yesterday, I'm putting it in today's entry because it technically happened today. Well, we were all woke up in the middle of the night because something Kate ate didn't agree with her...and of course, the people in the room next to us feel it a good time to have sex. Obnoxiously loud sex...grr ( Read more... )

Oh dear, it's been a week already. Time flies. I ought to find a way to clip its wings ( Read more... )

We left Alicante to go to Barcelona. More confused driving! But lots more laughs. It's all good. We had to call Paco to drive us to the right hotel, because we kept getting lost. And it turned out that Paco booked us at the wrong place. He was really really upset about it ( Read more... )

Ack, I forgot to write in my journal! Well, here we got from memory: We ate breakfast at this restaurant that Kate really likes (we've been calling it OUR restaurant) and got an ass of a waiter. Of course, Kate felt the need to say that very loudly, and had the luck to say it right as the waiter walked by. XD ( Read more... )

We've all felt jet lag today. Beth and John woke up at noon and Kate and I woke up around 1 ( Read more... )

As night crept on our plane, bricks flew. Or rather, if I had looked into my carry-on and found a couple of bricks, they would have flown. It's not that I had anything against anyone in the plane, but it was 2AM and I was really tired and cranky. And they kept playing these stupid videos, and the people behind me kept laughing so loud. So ( Read more... )
