How many Carnival goers in Sitges can you fit in one bar?

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

Sitges in a haze…usually somewhere between two to three times more than the “fire marshall” would have allowed. It was crazy! There were times when people were packed so tightly that moving became impossible, you merely swapped space with one of your new intimate best friends.

Calçotada-rifico!

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

Before going on a calçotada ‘the popular gastronomical fiesta of Catalunya’ it is important to first work up an appetite. So along with some friends in our Hiking and Outdoors Meetup Group we went for a walk, a stroll to see some 13th century castles.

The first…just outside the town of El Pont d’Armentera (where we soon would be returning for our feast of calçots). The ruins of the tiny village and castle of Selmella.

What happened to January and February?

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

I think we must have blanked out there for a bit. January and February feel like a blur. New Years, Carnival, and many other adventures…some which I would like to leave in the haze of the past.

Also as some of you have already noticed, part of our website is broken sigh and it looks like it will be down for awhile. Jason has to re-program a lot of the site Luckily it didn’t affect the blog…
