Hi family, friends and people who I´m simply spamming,

Just completed Paris and arrived via train into Spain yesterday.

Paris really has to be seen to be believed. It´s mired in culture, art and
sophistication and contrary to public expectations the French have been
the most friendliest people we have yet encountered. It all starts with
the right attitude of course and effort on our part. Unlike some tourists,
which shall remain un-named, we converted our currency to the local Euro.
And as strange as it sound we actually tried to speak to the French people
in....French, albeit very broken. Thank Ashur for my French I CD from
eMule. The French really turned out to be ´Tre Bien.´

Yesterday we arrived in Barcelona and it´s just unbelievable.
The local team called Barcelona won the European football (soccer) cup
playng aganst Arsenal and the people have come out onto the streets and
celebrated into all hours of the night. In the typical hooligan European
tradition this included fights, looting and fires......oh my.

I had to tell Asuma that it might be a good idea to click our heels
together and repeat to each other, ¨There´s no place like our hotel
room¨.....¨There´s no place like our hotel room!¨

We spent today visiting some UNESCO declared buildings designed by the
Spanish architect Antonio Gaudi. Asuma loved the town he built and best described it as a cross between an Oompa Lumpa village from Charlie and the
Chocolate factory meets a ginger bread house. The church roof looked as
though it had been created using blue icing sugar. Photos will be
published at the usual location. We also visted a Picasso museum which was
also very interesting.

One of the guys in our tour group had his pocket-picked as we walked
around the Sacrada Familia (Sacred Family) church designed by Antonio
Gaudi. The thieves here are so good that they manage to take people´s
money and give the victim a receipt without the police doing a thing. Oh
hang on I may have the pick pockets confused with the souvenier sellers. I
always have trouble telling those two groups apart.

Our Spanish dining experiences have also been great. We had our first
taste of Tapas yesterday and that can best be described as a Spanish
version of Yum Cha with plates of decadent Spanish delicacies arriving
like clock work and each more delicious than the last.

That´s our latest update. Photos for France and Spain will be published
next week. In the meantime our latest photos of Jamaica and the UK can be
found at www.chibo.com.au

Beunes Noches,
Tiglath
Barcelona, Spain
