two travelling chads

hola!

i'm going to miss spain, all of its people, beaches, sangria, tappas, and most of all siestas.

i don't understand why they don't make more buildings now like Gaudi made them. they are full of imagination and make you dream. i think if i could get two people in human history to meet, it would be Hayao Miyazaki and Antonio Guadi. miyazaki is the guy that made spirited away and other trippy cartoons in japan. they would have been good friends--a common language wouldn't even be necessary.

today i went to the dali museum in figueres, a town about an hour and half by train from barcelona. i think that guy was too smart and had to find creative ways to entertain himself. there isn't a proper path in the place and it was incredibly crowded. i think its the first tourist site where i just wanted space and to stop bumping into elbows and feeling bad for getting in the way of everyones photos. i was about to make a quick exit until i found the stairs to the top levels (where i think a lot of people skip since they just follow the flow of people). it was all of his sketches and drawings and i think i spent an hour or so just up there. that definitely made it worth it.

tomorrow is the flight to sweden for a fiji reunion! pauline is flying in from england and we'll be staying with sebastian and sofia in stockholm. it would be cool if laura could make it, but she's working in northern ireland. i'm holding on to all of my winter clothes because i don't know what the weather is going to be like. the moment i think its warm enough, all the winter clothes are getting dumped. they are in no shape to wear when i get back and the extra space/less weight would be good.

so i guess there's a website of a different travelling chad at www.chadstravels.com (which has caused some confusion with a few people i have met) he's got pictures of his trip to new zealand too. i think its good that more chads are getting around. i hope he has good times.

have a good day
your friend
