Hyperspace Travel

First off : GPS rocks when you are in a foreign country (probably in your own country as well) and are refusing to take the toll roads, which leads you through tiny roads up and down rural mountain roads until you finally reach the new part of the highway that was under construction 50 km earlier.

Speaking of highways that under construction; a GPS apparently has to be manually updated every so often, and if you decide to take that brand spanking new highway with said non-updated GPS, you will find youself flying through hyperspace (according the the GPS) until you encounter a road that existed at least 4 years ago and re-incorporate into the real world again.

Asturias and Galicia are amazing parts of Spain, and I recommend that one and all visit them to eat salty fresh seafood, pound frothy apple ciders and enjoy crisp white wines, all while marveling at the lush mountains with rivers coming from the rocky northern coast of Spain.

Oh yea, and make sure to go with good friends when you do it.

Here are some pictures to do it all justice.
