Those pictures are beautiful. It always strikes me other places seem so much more beautiful then where you live.

Hey Barbara forgives because in Spain we do not know speak anything but Spanish is maybe if I go to where you live I will speak in a language other than English is not it? you could have spoken in Basque and Spanish rather than if you had understood less. Next time I invite you to my house to eat well to have fewer problems with language

hey carlosrual, not sure what exactly you mean with your post but I hope I didn't offend you, sure didn't mean to offend anyone! It's hard for turists comming to Spain when nobody talks another language. In Slovenia we speak slovenian which obviously nobody speaks but most of the people will speak at least another language. If not english, it will be italian, german, spanish, french... but that's probably becaue no other country speaks slovenian so we are aware that if we travel, we really need to speak at least another language! Plus, if tourists come, sure none of them will speak slovenian... Anyway, I know Slovenia is particular about this cause it's a small country. Actually, to be honest, what bothered me more in Spain is that most of the people didn't even try to understand me when I was trying tell/ask something in a mix of spanish, italian, french and english... I guess it was too much for them i did the best I could though anyhoon again, didn't mean to offend anyone, just the experience I had... other than that, I had one of the best times ever in Spain and met so many wonderful people!

I am not offended, I think you had bad luck, I know very few spanish people speak another language, but at least where I live people strives much to be understood by signs, looking for someone ... or that is why I say you had bad luck but we are not the worst or bad people, only you had was bad luck, perhaps as Spanish is spoken by millions of people throughout the world because they do not want to learn another, I would like to know other languages but I am very awkward to learn, I give very bad, but because if so we will most English people knew these things would not, in most parts of Europe while not native language people speak English and know this is where Unless that happens, I am sorry to pass a bad experience, I hope that next time you come to my region, Asturias and you will love. Besides Blind Melon gave one of their best shows in the Azkena

thanks Connie carlosrual, like I said, I had one of BEST times of my life in Spain, really! Which means all other people I met (with "other" I mean not people working at restaurants, lol) were AMAZING, I loved them!!! Also, not all restaurant staff was ignorant, some did try to help out. So like you said, I guess I had back luck with a few but this is really such a meaningless detail for me when I think of all the fun I had there and all the wonderful people I met! I will remember this trip forever as one of the very best! ;D No words can describe the happiness and good vibes I was feeling there.

muy guapas las fotos tio,una pena que no pudieramos celebrarlo todos juntos,y yo pensba q había poquita gente por españa que le gustaban blind melon,ahora creo que somos pocos pero autenticos,jeje. Qué máquina el Travis eh? yo fui un poco dudando,pero viendo lo que se lo curran,no puede haber otro mejor para la ocasión.Pedazo de concierto,ni en mis mejores sueños. Barb(esta si que es una crack) me puso al día de esta gira y del forum y después de muchos años lo estoy volviendo a sentir,ya sabes,cuando te atrapa la ilusión por una banda. Bueno tío,que por akí andaré lo que pueda.Te recomiendo que te bajes el programa de radio. Está muy bien y en estos días de poco por descubrir me está resultando una buena compañía en el mp3.La sección all that i need está cojonuda,la gente se lo curra un huevo,y yo pensaba que lo tenía todo de estos tíos....... Bueno paz y rock,nos vemos por el forum
