The Lisbon Oceanarium was quite a random but enjoyable stop. A bunch of these photos could use some work in Aperture, but no chance of that right now:

The rest are here

Going back through these photos reminded me what an enjoyable and varied experience Lisbon was - quite a contrast from many of the later cities I've visited

The rest are here

Still in the czech internet cafe, transferring photos from camera cards to my iPod. I've had poor computer luck with most recent hostels since my return to Athens, so I need to spend some time offloading pictures before my camera cards are full.

I somehow unfortunately lost the photos from my first train layover in Madrid, so all that's left is a limited number from my walk through a park and garden on the second layover. Not a terribly accurate view of the city as a whole, but oh well:

The rest, few though they are, can be found here

On the seemingly endless series of train rides from Seville to Venice, I stopped off again in Barcelona for a 5 hour layover, with the singular purpose of spending more time at Sagrada Familia and Parc Guell. So, some pics from the Gaudi visit (although I still ran out of time in Parc Guell):

Sagrada Familia:

the vertigo-inducing stairwell:

Parc Guell:

I'll write up thoughts on Porto when I have more energy... for now, pics:

the city:

Port tasting:

Poet's hostel:

Bom Jesús do Monte (in Braga):

Time for a photo dump... all pictures so far (2646 of them, before deleting the screwups and duplicates) are on my computer, and are clogging up TimeWarner's thin intertubes on their way up to flickr. Yet more Paris pics:

Louvre at night:

Musee d'Orsay:

Eiffel Tower:

Arc de Triomphe:

Somehow even as I´m having somewhat more success with uploading, I still seem to be getting farther behind on photos. Here´s some from Barcelona, which is now 4 cities ago (Madrid, Porto, Lisbon, Seville) ... although Madrid doesn't really count

the beach:

walk up to Park Guell:

view from Palau Nacional:

olympic area:

flags on the stadium:

castle:

a random bee from a Montjuic park:

at the north end of La Rambla:

The rest are here, though there's still a bunch sitting on my camera cards

At least some of them...

Baud et Millet:

down to the cellar:

about half the cheese buffet:

streets at night:

I'm finally starting to get caught up on the photo uploading after a run of good luck with hostel computers, but things are still a little out-of-order (there's still a handful of Dublin pics and a ton of Paris pics scattered across various memory cards & the iTouch). There's also a bunch of photos getting screwed by the auto-RAW converter I'm using, which isn't going to get fixed until I'm back home. But anyhow:

War Memorial:

Guinness tour:

Bye Dublin:

A mix of the buildings, statues, scenery and some macros:

The rest are here

Yes, it's a bit creepy to be surrounded by untold thousands of human skeletons:
