Killer weekend in Spain...OLE!




P I C T U R E S

Ola senor's and senora's...

Hope all is well :)

Just got back on Sunday night from a sweet weekend in Spain with Josh, Kevin and Danae...started off on Friday afternoon with me making my 3 hour commute to the airport in Stansted, London...that is where Ryanair fly's out of...NOT worth the savings, too far and too aggravating...anyways made it to the airport and met up with kev and josh...let the festivities begin!

We decided to have a couple rounds of beer while we waited for our flight...always a good way to kill time in an airport...then we boarded our flight and decided to buy more drinks on the plane...Kev even cracked some bubbly (see pics)...baller...needless to say the flight went by fast and next thing we knew we were stepping out of the airport into the warm Spanish night...WOW did I forget how much I miss warm summer nights... headed to hostel, cracked a few more beers then made our way into the heart of Valencia for some food, drinks and fun...

Friday night was a bit of a blur but fortunately found booze and food…after drinking sangria and eating paella we started wondering around...met up with some random Americans who showed use where all the clubs were and this is where it starts to get blurry...pretty sure we went to a bunch of bars, I ended up with the Americans on my own and got home around 6...josh and kev ended up at some other club and got home around 8 haha...definitely a fun night...

Saturday Danae arrived...and we all headed to the beach...got a bit lost on the way but once we stopped at a gas station and I had a map we were all set...spent the afternoon in the sun by the beach drinking beers, talking about our insecurities, trading sunglasses, and enjoying the view and life in general…kevin went swimming and dove in the shallows…scraped the top of his head…haha sorry homie but it was pretty funny…Oh yeah can’t forget the Pipas (Spanish spits…what was the other meaning danae? Haha)…then with josh at the wheel and danae, god help us, navigating we headed back to into the city to get ready for our second night out…

Sat night got kicked off around 9 as we wandered the city in search of some tapas…found a wicked place with a very lippy waitress who had a crush on kev…very entertaining…after dinner headed off to the find some local watering holes…ended up making friends with some locals and they took to some other bar…spent awhile there and after that headed to some other really really cool club on the beach…had about 3 rooms and was there dancing and stuff until 8am…never watched the sunrise from inside a club on the beach…kinda weird...went outside and took some pics of the beach and the new day then made our back to the hostel….Kev and Josh had to bounce right away as their flight was at 11am…danae and I got to sleep in for a couple more hours but got woken up thanks to our not so friendly hostel manager promptly telling us to “Get out”…

Well initially me and danae planned to spend the day in Valencia but danae in her hungover state and me still kinda tipsy thought it would be fun to drive to her place an hour and a half south in Alicante…might not have been the smartest move but was a fun mini road trip none the less…got danae to pull over on the highway so I could run out and pick a fresh orange…best orange ever…k it tasted like any other but was still cool…got to Alicante and did a quick drive around, saw the harbour, beach, castle and danaes place then got dropped off at the train station and headed to the airport back in Valencia..haha like I said maybe not the smartest move but im not a smart person….so yeah spent the next 8 hours making my way back to reading…I would officially like to say the trains in england SUCK, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAN THEY RUN ON TIME FOR ONCE, IS ALL I ASK!!!!

Anyways that was my trip to Valencia! Now im sitting at Heathrow airport waiting to board my place to Holland for a two day work trip…airports are becoming less and less cool…anyways have a great week…

Hooked on Hookah




Ola!

Well it's 7:30am and I am at London Paddington train station...i have to see a client at 8:45...needless to say I am REALLY bloody early, so chilling in a cafe eating a bacon sandwich thinking about all you wonderful people...cept for you Perdo...anyways figured I might as well write a quick post as it's been a couple weeks and I figure everyone has had a chance to enjoy my fantastic video tour of the new digs...

So over the past few weeks I havn't gotten up to a whole lot BUT we did finally get a good sized TV for the living room...32 inch widescreen, it's a bit older but works, hooks up to my lap top, and fills in the corner of the room, so I'm happy...oh yeah and it was only 50 quid which is pretty damn cheap!....what else what else is there...oh yeah Josh's buddy Kev got here last week so went out with those two fella's on the weekend in London which was a good time...highlights include: Josh and Kevins wine glass party trick of dropping it on the ground and it shattering...ended up at a weird bar that had a few really good live bands...saw some american about elbow deep down the back of his gf's pants in a pub (see pics below at ur own risk)...josh winning a 5 dollar bet with me...oh yeah met londons equivilent of the soup nazi, the cheese nazi...he didnt like joshs attitude so didnt give him cheese on his chips (fries) but i got cheese haha...sunday was spent in camden town with some other canadians smoking hookah, drinking mint tea, and eating at that really cool moroccan place we went to before...love it i can't wait to smoke some hookah in Egypt...that pretty much sums up my weekend...

This weekend im going to Valencia, Spain with Josh and Kev which will be awsome...so stoked and it looks like we will be getting a cameo appreance by Danae...so yeah hopefully I'll have some great photo's to post on here from the weekend...I gotta get going now, I have managed to occupy myself long enough and now I have jump on my train...

We've gone interactive...check the vid of the new crib



Hello ladies and gentlemen (not sure any of the guys I know qualify as gentlemen but whatever)...

Anyways it's been a very up and down week/weekend...had some issues with getting someone into my old place but we have managed to find a girl who wants to move into the old place...so far so good...not sure I have mentioned this before but the girl who was supposed to move totally sold us out and caused me and Steve to lose some cash in the process...hate pure hate...however we are now all moved into the new crib and it is dope...VERY happy with it!

So the weekend was spent moving, getting settled in to the new place, drinking a bit, and playing some vball...nothing major that needs mentioning...Oh yeah I almost forgot...i just booked a couple wicked trips for the coming weeks...March 23 - 25 I'm headin to Valencia, Spain with Josh and his homie Kevin from Canada...should be dope...then two weeks after i get back from Spain I'm heading to Egypt with Danae which will AWSOME...been dying to go to Egypt for a long time so figured while im in the Neighborhood might as well hit it up...Pyramids, Nile, Sphinx, desert, coral reefs...SO STOKED...

Anyways, that's enuf from me, have a good weekend!
