train…ferry…bus…It’s on to Spain…

Leaving Albufeira. Had a great time there. The pictures probably will speak more than words. For everyone I’ve met over the last few days, the pictures will be up as soon as I get to a place with a proper computer: this post is being written on a Blackberry so I can’t do anything with the pics.

Sun night…the show went well at Al’Face. Great acoustics in the room made it even easier. Played about 15 songs, split over 2 sets. Very nice people there. The pictures and video shot by James came out well. Will be posted soon.
After the show, we went with some friends to the Kareoke bar downtown. Good times…of course, true to form, pulled out a little George Michael. Hilarious! Pics are classic. Later, walking around and running into familiar faces kept is out until about 5 am, and of course sleeping wasn’t an option until about 8 am! Up at 4:30 pm. That’s about the time I’d been used to at home in CA, with the time change, so it’s not as extreme as it sounds.

Yesterday - Monday - entertained the idea of continuing the journey to Sevilla, but it was not to be, and we booked another night at our ocean-view place. By then we’d discovered how to get up to the 5th-floor terrace with full sweeping views of the town and ocean. Sunset up there was amazing…pics coming.

Last night, played another, shorter set at Al’Face. Good, but not quite as good as the night before. Met a few more people and went to the amazing Caipirinha bar for the best I’ve ever had. It takes so long to make each one that the wait could be > 30 minutes.
Called it an early night and went to bed by 2:30.

More soon…and pictures!
