1772188 Travis : I'll have her hang out with her lover
1772189 MagnifiCat : in this case
1772191 MagnifiCat : you can lodge in my place for a couple of nights
1772192 MagnifiCat : but there is nothing to see here
1772193 MagnifiCat : only the beach
1772194 MagnifiCat : and I don't have a car
1772195 Travis : Beaches are great
1772196 MagnifiCat : yeah, the beaches are lovely
1772197 Travis : So I'd need a rental car to putt putt around, parking sucks in Spain in the city
1772198 Travis : And learning the rules of the road and converting from miles to km
1772199 Travis : But I could figure that out soon enough
1772200 MagnifiCat : I don't live in a city, and parking in my area is not a problem
1772201 Travis : Right, but Spain isn't just your city lol
1772202 MagnifiCat : You could park the car on the drive or in the parking lot
1772204 MagnifiCat : as I said, if you go all over, you can lodge here for a couple of nights
1772205 Travis : I think about half the time it'd be no problem, but larger cities would be a nightmare
1772206 MagnifiCat : yes, large cities are a nightmare to drive in
1772208 Travis : For example, you use a lot of roundabouts, and no right turn on a red light. And tons of pedestrians and cyclists
1772209 MagnifiCat : so let's say you visit Valencia
1772210 MagnifiCat : VAlencia is nice
1772211 MagnifiCat : and heading south to Sevilla
1772212 MagnifiCat : you could stop at my place
1772213 MagnifiCat : for a couple of nights
1772214 Travis : I would definitely. I spent a day there once just to buy Lladro porcelain figurines at the fabrca
1772215 MagnifiCat : I've a guest bedroom with a single bed
1772218 Travis : You don't even know me. I could be a serial killer
1772220 MagnifiCat : yes,
1772221 MagnifiCat : but I have to take my chances
1772222 MagnifiCat : nobody comes and visits me
1772223 Travis : Actually, you don't lol
1772224 MagnifiCat : I've had 1 friend visiting me since my hubby died
1772225 MagnifiCat : that's 4 years ago
1772226 Travis : Well you live in an intereresting area
1772227 MagnifiCat : I'm not sure
1772228 MagnifiCat : you can't do anything without a car here
1772229 Travis : And you're a foreigner living amongst other foreigners a long way from home
1772230 MagnifiCat : and I'm not well to drive
1772231 Travis : Same with the US
1772233 MagnifiCat : but just as you said
1772234 MagnifiCat : petrol / gas is expensive here
1772235 Travis : So Barcelona would be a stresser. So would Madrid, even though I know Madrid area well.
1772236 Travis : Yes, plus the cost of renting the car itself for say a month
1772237 Travis : And daily accomodations
1772238 Travis : Every day a new place
1772239 MagnifiCat : and parking
1772240 Travis : So no weekly deals
1772241 Travis : Parking pfft
1772242 MagnifiCat : well, it all adds up
1772243 Travis : Before long it becomes untenable
1772244 Travis : Unless you go to one place and stay for awhile
1772245 Travis : Which is not what I want to do
1772246 MagnifiCat : well then you have your answer
1772247 Travis : I mean if you stayed for two weeks in Madrid and stayed put you could use the buses and trains for day trips
1772248 MagnifiCat : yes, totally
1772249 Travis : But then I want to do Galicia, and Andalucia, and Cuenca, and Barcelona and San Sebastian blah blah
1772250 MagnifiCat : well, you need a car then
1772251 Travis : So nada lol
1772252 MagnifiCat : spain is big
1772253 MagnifiCat : GAlicia and Andalucia are far away from each other
1772254 Travis : Spain is no bigger than California
1772255 Travis : Yes, I know
1772256 MagnifiCat : oh, ok, that's my Hungarian side talking
1772257 Travis : But I would probably only make one trip, so gotta do it all in one prolonged visit
1772258 MagnifiCat : maybe you would need to stay for a month
1772259 Travis : I would, yes
1772261 MagnifiCat : May or September are the best months for that
1772262 MagnifiCat : june july august, especially august is too hot
1772263 Travis : And would love to do 2-3 months, driving from town to town every day, booking my room for the next day in my room every day
1772264 Travis : Yeah, way too hot
1772266 MagnifiCat : do that
1772267 Travis : It's so nice here just pulling into motels
1772268 Travis : No planning, just pull into a parking lot, pay and unload your car
1772269 Travis : no parking problem, no parking fees, simplicity
1772270 MagnifiCat : yeah, sounds easy
1772272 Travis : But then again, Europe is different, and probably wouldn't change much
1772273 MagnifiCat : things won't change here
1772274 Travis : It has worked for you all for a long time
1772275 MagnifiCat : we have too many traditions
1772276 Travis : That's changing fast too
1772277 MagnifiCat : which in a way is nice
1772279 Travis : Stay unique I say, each place with it's own language border and culture
1772280 Travis : I liked it when every country had it's own currency
1772281 MagnifiCat : yeah, that's we we are aiming for
1772282 Travis : Now you're a EU hodgepodge lol
1772283 MagnifiCat : Well, the euro supposed to make life easier in the Union
1772285 MagnifiCat : as you know
1772286 MagnifiCat : Hungary has it's own currency, UK too and spain has the euro
1772287 Travis : I'm not European, so I have no dog in this fight
