Paris 4 - Stopped by the police
So then we drove from Paris France all the way to Salamanca Spain, through beautiful Southern France/Northern Spain through Pamplona Navarra (where Sanfermines take place in July which is the running of the bulls thru the streets). It is so gorgeous, more than Galicia, but not more than Santander. It was soo tranquilo, with a lazy river, grassy meadows and the famous Pyranees mountains and sheep bleating in the background. It cost a good 50 euro to go through all of the tollroads (we didnt know the freeroads) and at like 2 in the madrugada on our way from Madrid to Salamanca we got stopped by the Guardia Civil. They asked us for our residency cards and we showed them our pasaportes which they said were insufficient. Obviously we didnt have residency cards because we arent residents. So anyhow we were there for like 15 minutes talking to them as they wrote down all our info and checked the trunk. We found out today that there was another bomb in Madrid that blew up and killed a few policia, so they were being really strict. FInally we made it back to Salamanca at like 3 in the morning. Sorry to interrupt but these like 14 year old boys in this cybercafe are playing a LOUD videogame and are SOOO ANNOYING! They keep singing gypsy songs. I have to leave I cant even think they are so freaking loud!
