rebel2: Good to see you again



Thanks "Rebel", Glad to see you as well! Tell me, How is life in Spain these days? I have not been there since 1989!, But from what I remember it was a great place to be. As large as it is I only was able to go to major cities like Madrid (bought a Classical Guitar there in the Opera district, I nearly didn't get back to the group as I had got myself lost on the Metro. But I backtracked and everything was ok. I was in Toledo for a tour of artwork and other great works located in the Basilicas. Another "Walled" city Ávila was very new, but obviously very old...only new to me. Yes, I enjoyed the little time I spent there. Just writing about it makes me want to go back. I remember back then the costs were not so terribly high like France and Switzerland back then. Very different than over here for sure!
cheers

It is indeed a beautiful country, and made even more so by the people.
I was in Madrid a few weeks ago, in the Opera district! Also in the "Arty area".
Toledo, Cordoba, Granada and the list of beautiful places to visit goes on!
The prices are still excellent here and I never feel "ripped off".
I have just done a 2000km round trip on my motorbike, up into the Pyrenees and the price difference between the Spanish side and the French side was very obvious! Spain being much cheaper.
I booked a suite in a 4 star hotel, with breakfast and underground parking, 3 nights, 156 Euros!
Come back some day! cheers

That is great to hear! I kind that was the case but wasn't sure. Yeah, just places to go there you could spend a couple lifetimes I bet.
Thanks for the update!

Fire in the Hole.... Steely Dan.... wine


I decline
To walk the line
They tell me that I'm lazy
Worldly wise
I realize
That everybody's crazy
A woman's voice reminds me
To serve and not to speak
Am I myself or just another freak

Don't you know
There's fire in the hole
And nothing left to burn
I'd like to run out now
There's nowhere left to turn


great jazz piano work throughout....
