February 23,2006

Today I am finally wraping up trip to Barcelona....tomorrow and Saturday I will spend the nights in a monastary...then on Sunday I will travel to Bilbao which is in the northern part of Spain. The trip is a nine hour trip by train...It is very cold there and it is raining at the moment.

Why there? The name of Zaldivar originates there..My dad often spoke about being basque....I never knew whether or not to believe him...It does not matter now...I amn doing something that my dad I am sure wanted to always do....

I understand that the name of Zaldivar traveled from the northern part of Spain to Mexico via Cuba....I have enjoyed Barcelona...but there is much more to see...It is a chore each day....because I take a few subway cars to come to Starbucks to use their wifi system to upload these notes and my photos...I lknow I will not be able to do that all weekend...

Talk to you soon...

Pace yourself on your missives. I did the same thing when I was on my trip around the world. Remember to take notes so you remember what you want to share with everyone. Otherwise, you will be amazed at what you forget. So much can happen so quickly.

Have fun.
