This Friday will be my final day in Alicante, Spain. Well at least until I return again in about six weeks. The city is nice and school has been great, but I have the travel bug in a BIG, BIG way. I leave for Pamplona and then onto Roncesvalles, Spain where I will begin the Camino de Santiago. The Camino (The Walk) Frances will take me about 30 days or so depending how much sight seeing and wine drinking I do along the way. I will cover about 800 KM which is ab...

Except for a few dozen photos that are stuck on a CD, my technical difficulties are over and done with. As you can tell from the pictures, I am still roughing it on the road. I have almost four weeks of Spanish lessons under my belt and while my vocabulary and my comprehension are better, I still speak like a blathering idiot.

About the only thing definite is that I will win my $100 bet with Travis and that it appears that a July ´07 return is out of the question. Take care, Jason

As you can tell from the photo, I had a really rough week!  I have said many times that I am very lucky to go where I have gone and to have seen what I have seen while travelling. Well I am not exaggerating in the least bit when I say that my time at La Alberca, Spain with Pueblo Ingles´ was the most unique experience that I have ever had as a traveller. Whether you are a long-term backpacker or someone in need of a two week holiday abroad, you should ...
