The Big Trip Day 11 – London

We got up and got dressed and we had a few questions to clarify at reception. I was seriously considering asking if it would be at all possible to switch rooms because of the snorer and because neither of the lockers under our bed were functional. So we got to the desk and Will simply […]

The Big Trip Day 10 – To London

The morning of the day we left Salamanca for London was lazy. We had bought a ton of food the night before that we hadn’t eaten, so we were all set on the breakfast front. We had some delicious goat cheese with some bread and carrots. Mostly we Internetted and packed our bags. Our train […]

Cheeses: President – Rulo de Queso de Cabra

When we went to my teacher’s house a few weeks ago, we had this salad with Spanish goat cheese. I don’t normally like goat cheese, but the stuff we had there was pretty good, so we decided to look for some Spanish goat cheese in Salamanca. This cheese is delicious. It comes as a white […]

The Big Trip Mini-Update

We’re still alive! We’re in London and have a ton of blogging ready to go… sort of. The Internet at the hostel kinda of sucks. At least it’s fre… oh wait, no. It’s eight pounds for a week or five pounds for a single day. And it sucks. Not cool. Anyway, back on topic – […]

The Big Trip Day 09 – Salamanca

Day two in Salamanca was a good time. Addy had class in the morning, which worked out perfectly for us. Since we’re already half way through the big trip (where did that time go?), it was time to do laundry. So, for the morning, we did laundry and caught up completely with the blogging. Before […]

The Big Trip Day 08 – Salamanca

After our loud night, we were just a hair tired in the morning, but we were pumped to face the day and to see Addy! We got all dressed and headed out into the city in search of breakfast. We headed down toward the main square where we were planning on meeting Addy. Along the […]

The Big Trip Day 07- To Salamanca

We’re in Salamanca! That’s the good news. The bad news is that the Internet doesn’t work at the hostel. They have WiFi, I just can’t convince anything to give me an IP address. That’s almost more annoying that not having WiFi at all! We started the day really early. We needed to get up, finish […]

The Big Trip Day 06 – Rome

Can you believe we’re already at our last day in Rome? It’s really flown by. There were just a few things we wanted to see today, so after getting up a little later than normal and munching down some breakfast, we set out on adventure! We decided to try to make it a light day, […]

The Big Trip Day 05 – Rome

We’re winding down on our time in Rome, so we kicked it into high gear for Friday. We got up, showered, then had some breakfast, as usual. We did a few things on the Internet, but then we got our rears in gear and headed out! We had gotten this thing called the Roma Pass. […]

Big Trip Day 04 – Rome

Our second full day in Rome got off to a better start with us actually getting up, having showers, eating a little breakfast, and getting out into the city! The room from our view is also awesome. It’s not scenic, but it’s neat. We even have the traditional Roman window shutters. Once you get those […]
