¿Dare I say én fuego´?
















there is a car under all that smoke!












we left Barcelona along with about 500 motorcycles since today is the Moto GP competition. made it to the ocean just fine though, when we decided to stop at a train station for a snack. while sitting there, a guy stalls his car in front of us. the car starts smoking. then, little bits of fire start shooting out the bottom. someone yells ´fuego!´. guy opens the hood and a small flame comes out. he shuts hood, waits 2 minutes and for some unknown reason, opens it again to release a 6 foot fireball. we ran and hid from it, expecting it to blow up like something from teh A-team. I´ll show you how it ended when we get access to a USB port. we even have video!




ride to Girona was challenging w. lots of hills. drivers have been very corteous though and it feels much safer to me than even Ashland Ave. in Chicago. G. might beg to differ however. We will have to compare blogs.




Girona, Spain might be one of the most beautiful cities I´ve ever been in. I´t´s no wonder Lance Armstrong kept a place here for training. there is a huge fortress & medieval walls that ring the old city and you can walk all over it for free. plus, they made that whole area pedestrian-only.




Graeme is patiently waiting for this computer, so I´ll show you more in photos later.

cheers

Wow, things are already blowing up in front of you. This is going to be good. I'm glad you're having a good time.

You are such a tease. Photos of cool Euro stuff coming soon. Video of flaming fireballs (are there any other kind?) in the near future. Dude, don't leave me hanging...
