Spain! Spain! Spain! A long journey has finally brought me here, and it feels pretty good.

I stopped for lunch at an old friend's house not far from the Spanish border. After that, I drove on for quite a while...

Now, I'm in a place on the east coast, typing from the hotel there. The trip is short, although it has been nice - tomorrow I want to get to Barcelona, for however little time.

I'll see how I feel in the morning and take a look at the weather too; I can hear huge winds blowing outside and yet I think this place provides shelter, as all I could hear on the street was wind noise with no actual breeze.

I really want to spend another night out here, but I think my Dad'll want his car back so I may have to go home tomorrow; if I do go to Barcelona it'll have to be a really short stop.
