My Travels

I asked a buddy of mine what he would put on his webpage, were he to design one. First thing he noted was a Travelog. So I have shamelessly usurped his idea.

Allons-y!

Barcelona Weekend

12/30/2023

Americans/USians are traumatized. Even driving into Canada pre 9/11 was this huge ordeal and I learned there was something momentous about crossing an international border. I took a train to Barcelona for the weekend and did nothing but show up on time. No one checked my passport, asked the reason for my visit, or when I'd be returning. Hell no one checked my train ticket on the way down.

What was travel like in Europe before the EU?
​Was it relaxed as things are now or was crossing an arbitrary line an Occasion?
​

For the places I’ve traveled here thus far, granted mostly in Western Europe while holding a US passport whether or not anyone looks at it, I can cross countries as I used to cross states. Awesome.
This might be Arenas de Barcelona. Concrete steps overlooking green water at night.
