hi all

sorry we haven´t posted for a while...we haven´t had wireless so haven´t been able to post pics. anyway, we are now in barcelona and have come to the definitive conclusion that it is by far a better city than this country´s capital. There is so much getting built here, we rented bikes and have roamed all over the city, taking in the sites and the food...I have to say, it´s pretty tough to beat the basque region in terms of food, but the markets are great here and the food fresh, and that´s all i really care about.

i also feel very at home here as our hotel is in the Ribera district, which is not only covered in Filipinos...they´re all from Mabini, where my mom grew up. At this very moment I overhear the harsh sounds of Bantangueño Tagalog. My cousin Esther, my cousin in law Victor and their baby also swept through town on their way to Portugal and it was nice to see them. Bill of team ¨Huggy Wall¨ and his awesome girlfriend Liz are also here, so it´s been nice to see alot of friendly faces and not have to speak in broken Spanish to wary locals.

sorry this is short for now...we will post more details soon.
