10.) People Are Really Nice To Pigeons Here-Pigeons are just like everyone else. They didn’t ask to be here, and they are doing the best they can while they are.  So nothing makes me more angry, then when a-holes throw rocks at them, or otherwise abuse them, but the people in Spain love pigeons. The [...]

Less than 24 hours before our bus to Paris we decided to look into booking a hostel there. We were planning ahead for once, and we quietly patted ourselves on the back for it. The idea of booking a room in advance, is one that rarely crosses our minds-but we did, and we were still [...]
