Ehh, I’m back in LV. Had a magnificent time in Italy, visited such places as Pisa, Vinci, Siena, Rimini, Florence, Bologna, Maranello, Verona, Venice and lots more. Had some dangerous situations when driving through high mountains on narrow roads. Ate lot of pizzas and so on. To sum up – journey was worth it!

Less than ten hours left till trip to this picturesque place, bon voyage.

Pēc nepilnām 8 stundām startēšu uz šo latvju zemes agrāko sastāvdaļu. Pēc tā, kas man stāstīts, sanāk, ka dzīvošu kādus 10km no Latvijas – Krievijas robežas, ciemā mājas esot uz vienas rokas pirkstiem saskaitāmas un tuvākais attālums, ko tai mājai var piebraukt ar mašīnu ir kādi 3km, jo ceļš vienkārši beidzas… Manuprāt, izklausās vilinoši, ir cerība, ka tur būs interesanta daba un varēšu nodoties fotogrāfijai.

If you ever happen to be in Madrid, you just have to go to Maceiras (Calle de las Huertas, 66, nearest metro station – Antón Martin) – the food is outstanding there. It’s traditional Galician. Of course, if you can visit Galicia, you will find plenty of places where to try Pulpo (octopus) or Croquetas or Navajas (razor shells) and don’t forget Albariño wine. The perfect combination.

Ughh…quite a week. A week to remember. Madrid – city to return to. Today is meant for moral hangover and hoping that tomorrow never comes…

here it comes… as usual, before important events in my life, I have insomnia. I guess because I thought that by going to sleep earlier I could accelerate time – but again and again I learned that it can’t be done. That didn’t stop me, and wouldn’t in the future either.
Que sera, sera.

34hours to go… although I’ve already been in Spain, there’s allways that tingling feeling when you go abroad. This will be a week to remember! I just know it.

Vino tinto, tapas, tortilla and of course – jamon.
