Tomorrow, I start more MIZ-adventurES in Europe. This time, I'll be going to Spain. I'll be in Madrid for a week, and Barcelona for a week. There will be a few changes this time around.
1. This phone has a step counter, so I can upload walking distance and steps. I don't know if I mentioned the amount of walking you do in Europe, but this will make it crystal clear. If I had to guess, I would say that we should be around 15,000 steps a day on most days.
2. In the past 17 months, I've had a steady engineering job, so I have a little more disposable income to play with. This won't make me travel 1st class or not stay in hostels, but I may not pick the most economical way to do certain things. For instance, I could get from Madrid to Barcelona for €60 less if I go by plane instead of high speed train. I opted for the train because it's a freakin' bullet train, and we don't have any in the US.
3. The big one is that I'm taking my girlfriend this time. This means a few more candlelight dinners, and a few less 1AM kebabs while drunk in the street. Oh well.
This also means that we are doing a joint blog together. If you want pictures, they will be there. This is my R-rated blog where I can swear and complain about stuff and not have her family see it (some of my previous comments about the Catholic Church probably shouldn't be seen by nuns... or regular church goers).
Next post will be from the Way Hostel in Madrid.
