good question...

Who knows exactly where I am. So it's been a really long time since I posted the latest news, but I've been wrapping things up and moving around a lot, so here goes. To pick back up, the rest of Madrid was really cool. I got to dig farther into the Prado, I saw the Thyssen, lots of good art all over the place. I was in a real mood to see some real quality art and soak it in which was good, although a lot of the other people were getting a little tired of it so they kept me on schedule and moving along. I really like Madrid, the place is great.

So after that weekend I managed to make it over to Pamplona for the running of the bulls. CRAZINESS. Even crazier than you'd expect. People passed out in the middle of the square, trash everywhere, and not the greatest smells either. I starting to say that porta-potties smell like Pamplona, not the other way around. Anyway, I'll post some more pictures and details the next time I get the chance.

Right now I'm sitting in an internet cafe with Amber in Vernazza (one of the five cities of Cinque Terre) on the western coast of Italy, hence the lack of descriptiveness that I usually try to include. We just got here from two days in Rome, we've got one more day until heading to Munich by train for two more days in and just south of the city before heading to a day and a half in London. Then flying back to Chicago! I'm pretty ready to get back to the States. Europe has been great, but I'm really looking forward to a washer and dryer, my car, and my grill. I'll keep the updates going this week and then finish up the travel stories sometime next week. Ciao!
