Leaving Barcelona in a few days to pick up my bike in CT and head down to start my Americas trip.  Should be crossing into MX the first week of October.  In the meantime, here are some pics from Spain.  Didn't really carry my camera much, so I don't have many:

From one of the numerous horse festivals in Menorca:





And I like that Magic and Bird showed up:





The Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, which I had seen a half dozen times from the outside but never bothered buying an entrance ticket.  This year, I took the plunge and man was it worth it.  I'm not a religious man but there was definitely something powerful about that space.  The light is amazing:





And of course one for the DMF crowd:

Sweet, believe it or not they've already been claimed by someone.  This even before I've put the damn things on the bike!  Somehow I've managed to convince a Venezuelan girl to accompany me for a bit in Mexico, so she is beta testing them for us.

Anyway, many thanks Kevin.  [thumbsup]

Yeah, despite the fact that I have a website logging my adventures, I'm not actually really into self-promotion, so the "about" section is does not have a direct link.  If you click on the magnum image under news, you get to this:

I was gonna steal an image of your logo and use that but it seemed a little difficult for my basic web design skills.  I may try to do it once I get a free moment.

How about we try to keep this thread about the journey...please?

We already have 3 threads in NMC about Carlos eating...probably more.

That's sufficient.

I'm hoping that once the kids are out of the house, I will be able to relocate to Barcelona. That is my dream lifestyle.

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.
