Spain to Portugal - Another Perspective

Hello ... Shawn has let me write on his travel blog (its mitch)

Where to start...

So I get a email from shawn telling me he has some items for me to take over to him, so I agree. Laptop, Herbal Essence Shampoo, Hand Cream (WTF) and a few other miscelaneous toiletries. Meet up with his sister and she sends me on my way with a laptop bag, toiletries and some easter presents from shawns mom (Easter eggs and a stuffed bunny). MOMMAS BOY!!! ( I wish my mom was that stellar)

Met up with Shawn in Barcelona which was stellar, roll out of the hostel to the champions leauge game between FC Barcelona and FC Bayern Munchin, and it was insane, but a dry event, so Although I like soccer so much more than hockey, soccer = less beer, so hockey games just edged up a notch higher on the beer list, but still not as energetic or amazing as a soccer game. Like usual had to explain the rules to shawn because he plays "real" sports like basketball and baseball!

From barcelona we headed out to Valencia, which was a beautiful drive for me, but for shawn it consisted of sleep. I so could have used some sleep too, but since im not a man-princess (hereafter known as mancess) The dude who shared our hostel room is laughing still about the idocracy of our shenanigans.

Valencia we headed south to Malaga Area, shawn was awake for most of the trip, and we managed to get some great photos and made an epic road trip playlist that we couldnt play opn the car stero system (no cd) so we drained the laptop battery and rocked out to low base high treble laptop speaker music.

Malaga area was great, probably had too much beer again because we had a later morning.

Ended up heading to cordoba, no cd again, so we rocked the laptop while we crawled along in rediculous traffic for about an hour or so. Cordoba was nice, very nice, and sunny, which rocked.

Sevilla was a good time, we picked up stevie on the side of the road, something about being in morrocco and needing to have a drink?!?!? Not too sure what she meant, but we ended up having a few beer, she returned to normal from then on.

The algarve and portugal, lets just say it was a 5 wine night (kind of like foders restraunt rating, 5 is good) and we ended up on the beach. Stevie, see abouve, was all about the nudity (something about morocco and conservative, eff that?!?), so I reservingly obliged, hahahahah, thats a total lie.

Moved up to lisbon. Where we are now, and probably repeating shawns blog, but hey, its another perspective.
