Plaza Mayor

Sipping Jetstreams

Is one of my favorite surf films of all time.

This is a quote from the film and is one of the most spot-on things I've read in a long time.

Just reinforces what travel is really all about as far as I'm concerned and is why being stuck here in San Diego for extended periods of time is such a mental downfall.

"Travel keeps you young. It does this by simply putting you in situations that make you feel like a child again. Magically lost in a moment of discovery. Beautifully confused. It could be the first time you awaken to the 5:00 a.m. call to prayer from the local mosque on Morocco's far Atlantic shore, the first time you feel the weight of the Egyptian sun on your shoulders, the first time you paddle out over the shallow reefs of the Caribbean, or the first time you realize that people living in squalor can achieve happiness as easily as those living in mansions. These are life's opportunities to shed the hustle of modernity, to join the moment, and stop sprinting toward some prefabricated goal. Your heart races. Your metabolism shifts into a lower gear. Everything is new again.
You're Sipping Jetstreams."

Mittagessen

In Switzerland its all about the big lunch.

Atlantic Coast

Lyrics from the song "Drilling" by Minus The Bear:

on a western Atlantic coast:

With no place to be, just taking in the sea

Tonight with a constant buzz

Staring at the ocean crashing

On all the rocks below

In this foreign home

Marbella

A slice of heaven on the Mediterranean

Swiss Memories

Playing a game of memory with Lysander and Yorick

Atlético Madrid

Madrid's "other" football club

Strawberry Fields Forever

John Lennon

(9 October 1940- 9 December 1980)

Ok I'll admit my last post about Adrian Gonzalez was a little harsh.

But on Another more positive note...

The Captain is back(not that he ever went anywhere) in pinstripes.

Things turn Ugly..

"I had five incredible years in San Diego, where I grew up trying to play in the major leagues and be a Padre," Gonzalez said. "But my second dream was to be a Red Sox and so I'm very excited ... to start this new phase." Gonzalez, donning a Boston jersey without a number, said the Red Sox have always been his favorite American League team, in part because of Boston icon and Hall of Famer Ted Williams - like Gonzalez, Williams was a left-hander and San Diego native. "I look forward to a lot of world championships. I'm very excited to be in Boston and ready to beat the Yanks." -Adrian Gonzalez

This is such a bunch of horseshit. "My second dream was to be a red sox", Are you kidding me??! How are we supposed to believe this crap. Not only do you shove hometown pride aside and take the money elsewhere, but then you also have the nerve to then throw these lies right back in our faces in order to please the A-holes of Boston. Talk about throwing salt in the wound.

Have fun in Hell..err i mean your new home

....oh wait. Actually THIS will be your hell.

Especially since you won't be coming to visit us here in San Diego this year to receive your verbal lashings. I'm sure the fine folks in the Bronx will no doubt relay our hatred to you and make your life a living hell.
