Okay, I'm new to this but promise some pics and other fun stuff soon.This is about my experience as a foreigner in Spain. I hope to eventually be talking about bicycling and other adventures in spain and the rest of europe, of course with pictures. Vertrecht is sort of an in-joke, I went last year to Amsterdam with a friend, and we arrived totally jetlagged and stupid and had to figure out how to get a train from the airport to the city. In the train station, no matter what track we went to...all trains seemed to be going to Vertrecht. I tried to find Vertrecht on every map to see if it was on the way to the city, but it was amazingly absent from every map. Turns out Vertrecht is the equivalent of "arrivals". To me this summarizes the experience of being in a different country where everything is pretty similar to what you are used to, but 8000 small inconsequential differences keep you confused and looking stupid. I'm going to start by posting a journal compiled from various emails chronicling my first couple of weeks.

What...no dedication to the brilliant mind that suggested the blog?? :) I hope all is well!
fair enough. this blog is dedicated to leslie who suggested it, was my first visitor, and taught me the phrase "make that rock your bitch!"
That rock is STILL my bitch.
