Spain
John and I had heard of this great day trip with this cute little company
called Spanish Trails. Last night we booked and put down payment on a 45 E
trip out to an ancient Spanish City. We got to the place before it opened so

Fully utilizing rail pass cruising around Europe would be better if I had someone to interact with while on the boring trains.
I actually am doing quite well right now traveling by myself. I just enjoy relaxing and
