Theresa and I went to Spain in June of 2001 for 2 and a half weeks. We flew into Madrid and out of Barcelona.

What can I say about Spain but that it’s awesome. The country is so big that even with all the time we had there we only saw about half of it! Each area is also very diverse. For example, in Madrid, tapas are everywhere. Every time I say tapas people always think I’m saying
topless. Anyway, tapas are basically small appetizers that you stand up at a bar and eat. However, in Barcelona, there are very few tapas places. The food there in general was simple, but good. And there was always plenty of wine or sangria to wash it down.

We started with three nights in Madrid, then rented a car and drove around for most of the vacation. We dropped off the car in Valencia to take a ferry to Ibiza. If you’ve seen Wild On, then you know what I’m talking about baby. From there we took an overnight ferry to Barcelona.
