Aaron returns to the USA, but the Blog Continues!

As demonstrated by the patriotic photos, I am back in New York, although the city is 3 hours away, and the Golden Gate bridge is 3000 miles away. Here is a picture of Albany:

That is a picture of the state Capitol and "the egg", which is a theater shaped like an egg. Difficult to discern in the background is a collection of some of the most soul sucking modern art on display anywhere in the world.

Nevertheless, this looks like a nice picture to me, almost like a place that people would want to visit. Which is good, because everyone should want to visit the fourth oldest city in America.

I have about a week's worth of material (at least-possibly more) on backlog, which means this will still be the Barcelona blog for quite some time. Coming up soon will be blog posts about my clash in the wild with hungry wild boars, and a carnival from hell. Neither of those are an exaggeration.

In the meantime, here are the five things (besides my friends) I will miss most about Barcelona:

1. The beach and Port Olympic

2. Tapas

3. People selling beer on the street for 1 Euro

4. Being able to eat at 1 in the morning (at the pasta bar, or anywhere else)

5. Watching/Celebrating Football with the locals

To my friends who I left behind: it was great getting to know you all, and continue to keep in touch. A return trip to Barcelona is not out of the question, particularly once I find my fortune. Conversely, might you consider visitng the Empire State?

To my friends back home: let's party until I find a job, and then let's just party harder to celebrate. 

And to the my new "friends" from Nigeria and Romania who've come across this blog somehow: keep reading, if enough people do I'll be able to make money off of ad revenue.
