ON THE ROAD BABY

Well hello there my freinds, currently I'm 'en via' throughout the hills and villages of Andalucia, the southern province of Spain. Toby, Amelia and I are just rockin the town of Cordoba right now. Yesterday we saw the architectural masterpiece of 'La Mezquita', and then wandered through the tiny one way cobblestone streets of the old center, where our hostal also happens to be. Hostals are just so bloody wonderful here in Spain. Why anyone would ever need to stay in a hotel is beyond me. We payed 22 bucks each a night and put the ol head on the pillow inside some ancient restored old building that smelled delicious and was cleaner than I don't even know what. On top of that, the owners transferred the cable service temporarily from their own house above to our room (must have been magic) just so we could watch Valencia take on Real Madrid. In the end something was funny with the connection and it didn't work, but it was the thought that counted. Instead we crossed the street to the bar for a cold one spiced with a bit of lemon soda (which sounds groos but is a wonderfully delicious combo) and enjoyed the game with a bunch of crazed locals. What could be better? Yesterday was also a joyous day because now I know where the hell I'm going to college!!!!!!!I was in a running store (which I will always remember now) when I got the call on Amelia's cell phone from Antonio (my host dad) saying that I got in. I can't tell you where now, because I have to leave the supsense building up to the end of my little deal here. Read on jingus monkeys....

So anyway, my two travel partners and I embark today in train to go to Sevilla for the next couple of nights,which I'm sure will be just great.

And now some words from Tobias Jobber:
