picspam for the downtrodden

I had a terrible day. Technology (and its imminent failure) almost made me cry. But I went for a walk after work, got myself a free dinner (it's Teacher Appreciation day, which apparently means a free burrito) and as soon as I post these pictures I'm going to eat some chocolate. Yay ( Read more... )

Heh, we should make a list of stories that we'll never pass along to young people. Because I'm willing to bet they'd be funny, and fun to read (for people who aren't easily influenced *g*).

I'm glad you enjoyed the pics! I hope you get your trip back to Europe someday soon. (Ack, the dollar is terrible right now! No foreign trips for me this summer.)

What lovely pictures!

I went to Spain in 1987 - a senior class trip I was eligible to go on because I'd taken Spanish all four years of high school. It was a whirlwind trip that I wouldn't probably remember hardly at all if it weren't for pictures. We went all the way south to the Mediterranean coast of Spain (we even took a day trip across the Strait of Gibraltar into Tangiers) and as far north as Madrid. I had a great time and would love a chance someday to go back.

Where did you go in France? I have this total fascination with France. I've been to Paris and Toulouse and a few places in between, but that's it.

Oh, your HS trip sounds awesome! And you got to cross to Africa, wow!

France: I lived a few months in each of these towns--Périgueux, Béziers and Bordeaux. I've been a tourist in several other towns for very short periods of time, though there are LOTS of places I still want/need to see in France.

The low dollar is making any travel ambitions I have for this year get derailed. Bummer.
