Hey, hey!

So I recently went on a Eurotrip. I found myself in Budapest Hungary, Vienna Austria, Venice Italy, Barcelona and Madrid Spain. Definitely an experience, all had their own special reasons to love.

I was staying with some friends in Barcelona, so I decided to meet up with Tony (aka TonyCRD), he is a great guy, now I understand why Ohio loves him so much, lol.
I'm just waiting for when he makes it back to the states, and stops in NY. (That should be interesting.)

Anyway,

Here is the GPS route that we took of the 41 mile trip through the mountains of Spain. Definitely some things that the average tourist would never experience. In a straight line it is 35 miles north of Barcelona.

Image

We also stopped in an amazing medieval town, Rupit(?) and ate a delicious lunch.

Here are the rest of the pictures, Enjoy!

Tony!!

The Alps are awesome - but only in Europe can you round the corner and be looking at a 900 year old castle or cathedral.

it's beautiful, and the people are great. (at least to the visitors)

Hiya Dean! Hope you had a good trip back. (I guess you slept the whole time, LOL :D)

Who knew you would adapt so soon to Spanish customs? Beer for breakfast...Image Glad you liked meeting a guy from the internet...Image
I tried to be as hospitable as the Midwest LOST people were for me over there, I hope I can one day do this for them too.

Anyway, you got the name of the little town right, it's Rupit. The snowy mountains on the other hand are not the Alps (those are much higher up north, close to Switserland). Those are the Pyrenees, the natural border between France and Spain.

I have some pics too, will post them up asap.

All I can do now is post some more from an earlier trip we took in that same area:

The bridge into town

The lake with little water in it
