The Journal – 6/22 – 6/24 – Our Life in Salamanca
Blake and I woke up early on Tuesday because we knew that we had a lot to do. The first thing on the agenda was to get some towels so that we could take a shower. We also needed some groceries and a few other items, like soap, a trash can, etc. Without even taking…
The Journal – 6/19 – 6/21 – Madrid to Salamanca
When we set foot in the Madrid city center, Blake and I were too exhausted to go out and party. It was about 2am when we arrived. As we were walking to our hotel, we stopped for a slice of pizza to-go. We found that the Hostal Gislay was overbooked, and we were directed to…
The Journal – 6/19 – Layover in Milan/Bergamo
Well, it seems as though Blake and I can’t catch a break with these rough flights! I just about peed my pants when we were about to land. We were flying over the Alps down into Bergamo, and I believe we had to fly through a storm. OH MY GOD!!! The plane started shaking really…
The Journal – 6/15 – 6/19 – Kos, Greece
The ride back to Kos was as pleasant as it could be, I guess. The ferry ended up coming to Santorini a little late, and by the time we boarded the ship and found seats, we were so tired that we probably fell asleep within the first hour. I snagged a booth seat which allowed…
The Journal – 6/9 – 6/15 – Santorini, Greece
Blake and I arrived in Santorini just after midnight, and as soon as we stepped foot on Santorini soil, we had to pay 18 euros for a taxi to drive us across the island. The island isn’t that big, (it was only a 15 min. taxi ride after all,) however, transportation services are limited after…
The Journal – 6/8 – 6/9 – Como through Kos
Blake and I woke up as we were supposed to on Tuesday morning. I must have been excited because I woke up and checked the clock exactly one minute prior to our alarm going off. We were packed up already, so all we had to do was change clothes and head to the Como train…
The Journal – 6/6 – Journey to Como
Blake and I woke up especially early on Sunday, June 6. We were in Malaga, Spain staying the night at the Sol Backpacker hostel. Neither of us had a decent night of sleep the night before. We were sharing a room with a shy American couple and we had a small room with bunk beds.…
The Journal – 6/6 – 6/8 – Como, Mennagio, and Bellagio
Once Blake and I were able to get rid of all of our luggage, I changed clothes, and we took a walk around the city. Many of the things that we remembered about Como remained the same. I think that Como is my favorite place in Italy. I just love the narrow streets filled with…
The Journal – 6/4 & 6/5 – Nerja and Malaga
We have spent another day and a half in Nerja since the last time I posted anything, and only a few things have changed. My dad, Judie, Blake, and I went to the beach for a good part of the third day. We went to a different part of Burriana Beach that is a little…
The Journal – 6/2 and 6/3 – Holiday in Nerja
Nerja is a city that was probably on “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous,” at one point or another. I would have never known about it if Judie hadn’t have gone there and recommended the place to Blake and I in 2004. The only one that hadn’t been to Nerja yet was my dad, and…
