Hello from Cudillero Austurias Spain - Wound up here by accident this morning looking for a place that apparently does not exist, or nobody knows about it. Which is better anyway because there is alot of festivity here. There are bagpipes, dancers, tons of people and games, its great fun. Im a little worried about all the fires back in California, but other than that Im great. Its very bonita here. The picture below is of the town itself situated in a valley on the North Coast of Spain with lots of nice walks and veiws of the sea. Take Care.

Hi from Oviedo Spain, I have been here for a few days now. Oviedo is a big city surrounded by forrests and hills. For a city it is very clean and there are alot of nice parks. The people are friendly and the food is good and a faction of the price I would be paying in the UK. I had fish and omlet last night and pasta and fish before that. Oviedo is in the province of Austurias where there used to be alot of steel minning and durring the civil war the minners took up arms against Francos army. Ill be here a few more days before moving on.

Hi from Bristol England - I arived here in Bristol this afternoon after a nice ride with a friend, and along the way we stopped at a Castle caleed Rhaglan in the South East of Wales. On the 16th I went to a castle just west of Brecon called Carrig Cennen. I had a nice time. Looking forward to Spain in a few days. I think Ill lewarn alot. I am brining a good history book with me. Bristol is a city that reminds me of Seattle with its young crowds, parks and tree lined roads. The university here seems to attract alot of people. I commited the cardinal sin of going to Borders and Starbucks today, but hey, I needed a good book. Traveling is really opeining me up to a world very different from the cellular isolated life of rural America. Thinings really areconnected and everything we do as consumers or even just the way we think and behave and treat eachother erally does impact the rest of the world. And, we are all more alike than we are different regardless of where we come from or what we've been taught. We all just want to be loved. Some of us are just very afraid and confused, even our leaders and professionals. Changes for the better are happening slowley but shurly and the time non-judgement and forgiveness has come. The judgements we make of others are very dangerous, and even deadly. Durring my time at the Ashram I processed alot. The more I let go of trying to thinnk I know people the more real they become. To know one is to know all. Micah

Hi From Edinburgh. Its a nice sunny day over here. Great for walking in the park. Edinburgh is a nice city, but very busy, like all cities. Ill stay here untill Monday when I depart for Wales. I am going to stay there at an Ashram for a week before I go to Llangollen, Wales and then off to Spain. Here are some interesting things I learned about Scotland in the book Im reading:
- The flag of Scotland came about in around the 6th century when a pictish warior had a vision of Saint
Andrew on a cross before he went to battle.
- Many Socts opposed the union of crowns in 1714 after William of Orange's economic policy
outlawed important English investments in an oversees colony in Derion started by William Paterson. The
failed settlement led to a lost of 1/4 of all circulating assets in Scotland. The same man is the Patterson
who started the Bank of Scotland.
The history of Scotland is a sad and tirbulent history that is sometimes hard to read, but alot can be learned from it about certain patterns in politics like those in the world today. Wars started by pursecution and powerful aristocrats battling it out at the expence of the poor and the country. Fortunitly Scotland has done well for itself today. There are many fair trade cities, very little homlessness, and they are working hard to reduce carbon emissions.
