I'm glad you covered the train trip. I'm also eager to read whatever you write about Barcelona, because I didn't go into detail at all. “It could be worse!”

]]> Comment on Portugal, we hardly knew ye by 50footqueenie http://bbop.wordpress.com/2009/06/12/portugal-we-hardly-knew-ye/#comment-189 50footqueenie Mon, 15 Jun 2009 10:31:43 +0000 http://bbop.wordpress.com/?p=439#comment-189 Enjoyed your comments on Portugal. The wife and I were at the Braga and Santiago shows and stayed on for a few days in Galicia as we hadn't been there before. We spent about ten days in Northern Portugal about 12 years ago and it's a great part of the planet, especially in June as they have festas in almost every town. We were reminded of this as we went for a drink after the Braga show and found an open air bar showing reels of bull runnings from Festas throughout the country - the bar was packed with people cheering every film! We won't see Wilco now until August in Dublin, sicne no one here in Edinburgh has the balls to book them into the world's largest festival. Enjoyed your comments on Portugal.

I can link to your Sevilla and Portugal rundowns, and jump straight to Santiago! I know we had precious little time in Lisbon, but I loved it. That's one place I need to visit again.

I don't know what to think. Down is up, black is white. Love the last photo - looks like Glenn is celebrating the return of Jayhawks. You’re much further along than me in recapping this trip!

That's a helluva way to kick off this jaunt.
