Viva Espana!

**Halon** · 03-07-2006

I'm leaving Saturday for a month long work trip to Spain. I love traveling so I think this will be awesome. I'm not going to be in a big city really, but apparently there's a lot of old castle ruins around there, so I'm definately bringing my camera. We're going over there to install new control upgrades for their huge 300T Polar Crane. That'll be pretty sweet to see too I think!!

Anywho here's the hotel I'm staying in, pretty f-in sweet!!

Be sure to check out a beach, the spanish girls love to run around topless! There was and exchange student in high school and the "parents" couldn't keep her top on at the beach. It was awesome!!

I can just see it, you and Hughes will switch from Asians to Spanish women.

You will have a blast. I went last summer for two weeks and I wish i could go again. But I traveled around Spain. Barcelona, Madrid, Pamplona, Costa Brava, and more. Make sure that when your there you go to a discoteqe (sp?). It's a kind of club that is crazy wild. There are stripper poles and 3 or more floors of dancing Spaniards. It's awesome.

Have fun plugging in your electric shaver. Be safe and have a good time.

**Halon** · 03-07-2006

I don't have an electric shaver. And I am buying a converter before I leave. I hope I have time to find me a quicky, I'm going to be working a LOT!

Sorry I had to split this post up into 3 posts because it wasn't letting me do it in one post for some reason...

Holy shit. Well just thought I'd update everyone a little bit on my trip! It's been about a week now. So far things have been not bad, we're waiting for access into the reactor which hasn't happened yet but is about to. Once that happens we will be busy mother fuckers. So everyday except one, has consisted of going to the bars around the hotel and getting drunk, and one day we went to a bar somewhere, I have no idea where. We're cruising around in brand new Turbo Diesel Volvo S40 and S60's, pretty pimp. Weather has been beautiful except today was pretty rainy. I heard MN has some real nice weather too.... NOT!!

Yesterday we celebrated St Patties day down the road at our usual bar called El Hostoria. To sum it up, we started drinking around 6:30, didn't get home until about 2am. Drinking the entire night, got these Awesome joker looking Guiness St Patricks Day hats for drinking Guiness there. And no need to eat here. When you order drinks, you get a little snack with it for free. Anything from little diced potatoes covered in garlic shit, to little sauges, to potatoe chips. So you drink, and eat that, and you're set. And to top it off, none of us paid a dime last night. We kinda know the owner, and dude didn't take a penny from us.

As we left, we hear music coming from somewhere. We go into this bar full of spanish punk rockers, and here come us 4 white americans in stupid joker hats trashed. We got up in the mix, started moshing to some spanish rock shit. Ended up leaving. And then apparently I got home and wrote on here in Tauni's thread. Crazy shit. So ya, so far it's been pretty sweet. The country is beautiful and full of historic looking cities. Old castles all over the place, caste ruins, look out tower things, beautiful mountains with snowy peaks, smaller hilly mountains covered in trees. I will probably be coming back in the fall too so I'm excited about that too.

OK well that's all for now. Gotta take care of some other shit while I have internet time left. Hope all is going well in your neck of the woods!
