Spain:Madrid:Juegos En Red
San Sebastian was another trudge-a-thon with the backpack, searching out the greatest deal in town, but there are no deals, its a couples haven with double rooms only at double room prices. i eventually settle at for a discounted price, another room at a families house, which doubles as a boarding house, but […]

Spain:San Sebastian:Divernet
have just finished a week of travel from madrid to san sebastian, beginning with a surprisingly awesome punk rock show by NOMEANSNO in madrid and culminating last night with the radiohead show in bilbao. arrived in bilbao without a place to stay and by the good graces of helpful souls and other helpful soles, […]

Spain:Madrid:la taberna del navegante
have been in madrid for 2 days now, feelin groovy. found a great hindu vegetarian buffet here today and changed my room from the tiny no windowed room in the huertas-prado area to one a little more expensive but central and with window. unfortunately internet here is expensive so i will be […]

Spain:Seville:easytech, Santa Cruz
absolutely great to be back in the western world, no two ways about it. morocco was a challenging bit of travel, especially being solo, no at all regrettable, i feel i have definitely “accomplished” something by having made it through. not safety wise of course, its a very very safe place where you […]

Morocco:Tanger:Euronet, Ville Nouvelle
so i am awakened this morning in Tanger, got here by train from rabat last night, by the loudest prayer call imaginable, the mosque is in rock throwing distance but i don’t dare, hmmmmmmm, but really its actually comforting in a way now, as i realize that i am somewhat used to morocco, […]

Morocco:El Jadida:Cyber c@fe @bir
after 3 nice relaxed seaside days i felt it necessary to move to safi, and had alreadly dreamed safi into a less “discovered” essaoira, so i boarded a bus and took off at 10am, of course first waiting for the typical procession of beggar blind men, gruesomely blind with eyeballs gone or […]

Morocco:Essaouira:Espace Internet
arrived in essaouira really hoping, but not particularly counting on, things being different, not really knowing what exactly i wanted…so i arrived to, well, plenty of the same in ways, the guide book is way out of date being 3 years old, Essaouira has been discovered and is WAY on the feeble geiser tour […]

Morocco:Marrakech:cybernet
began today after much good good sleepy sleep and eased into the day with a faux moroccan cappuccino (whip cream?) and very good croissant (all across morocco, always with a faint presence of chocolate in the middle) replenished my dirham supply at the BMCE machine, which seems to work well with my bank card, unlike […]

Morocco:Marrakech:cyber ichbilia
decided to backtrack to for kelaa m’gouna a day or so of the rose festival, only because of the exhuberance of the old man at the hotel in ouarzazate. i arrived thursday eve, the first official day was friday but things were swinging early, i couldn’t find a single room since there are only […]

Morocco:Ouarzazate:cybernet
it is said that the most innovative and useful invention of the 20th century is perhaps the plastic bag, and viewing the miles and miles of open desert surrounding Ouarzazate one might think the city was actually devised as a mecca of sorts for wary, homeless, vagabond bags of all shapes, colors and destinies. hanging […]
